Would Clemson look to leave the ACC?

Show podcast financial capital financial USA.com.

This is the atom gold shell. We spent a few days at ACC football kickoff. I was privileged to sit behind the ACC network set and watch star of stage and screen Eric Maclaine work his magic. He of course get second billing on the Gramlich and McKay Maclaine podcast but that's okay because he's a gentleman and he joins us on the gold so how are you my friend. I am living the dream on Maldonado my driveway garage area. Building from wall the make and compare intrigue like a good or get ramped up about the ways in your building or pantry. Build the pantry management can be really cool off and you can pick one up his gun like I need to see says I pick up a look.

I love Amanda can work with his hands so that's right that's right will have a little wine cooler in their cabinet and then some really nice shelving file. Very nice. Look, I might hire you to make a pantry for me. I don't know you will negotiate terms later I Clemson gets picked in the Atlantic Miami in the coastal final year for both divisions. It is, I appreciate you and and Jordan Cornett pouring one out for the final year so no surprise there.

Were you surprised at all by the margin may be for really for both the papal Atlantic. No, I think it at the end of the day comes with mimicking the thing for so long and I absolutely regret the Atlantic Champion from a year ago. They quite so yeah I think that it's something where Clemson is going to be right back.

I think they're going really what their muscles, but I do think the better competition. I think at the end of the day it comes down to that you October 1 game in death Valley decline in Charlotte on the Atlantic side and I just disrespectful to her is crazy to me. I mean that I know they lost any ticket but managed to lock back and they have a very good quarterback and genius logo to your I think is running that ship now have an amount that, and I'm not sure why am from the principal for where everybody wants to keep their guys as long as they can want the decisions made by his word, not to leave so I think they're going to be. I think they're in a repeat man a great battle and the good thing about all the way to schedule out is weekly Miami and pick Clay at the end of the year and I think that's a good thing for you to be acclaimed into the coastal Eric Maclaine from the ACC network is joining us here on the atom gold so we have had a repeat winner of the coastal since I believe what 2011. That probably affect their I think coming due in 2012 and then that started the string of obviously other than the pandemic year we had a different coastal winner every year a single year.

I did, I did say that that out loud that Duke won the coastal in 2012 so like it's almost impossible for this division to produce back to back champions but I do think that pit dates there probably on that side strongest on both lines and neatness, not Joseph Kenny Pickett is Addison the wide receiver also that so that they have to replace you moved on to transfer the subaccounts.

I wonder if he stayed in Keegan's lotuses room.

I think you'll based on what we heard he can probably afford a little bit more thinking that I have to think that you not in that same apartment but yeah me when when I look at pit manic they are for second the and Carl Leinbach three really good running back back I know that Addison is gone but mom feel comes Internet unit that unit with Titans included is really strong. It would've been that much stronger with Allison, but man at the good-looking group and then you got a couple guys there, on the tween or if you're eligible or not. I think Coach said he was to be a great addition there.

Well defensively here's the thing with me. Atom defensively. Pittsburgh is always going to be great right just because of their scheme. What they do. It's very hard to pick up that they are always going to be that team that you don't really want to play defensively now they have the stores with you know, I know 3D on the pit in her defense that better playmakers that it's very ill Clemson like don't get quite there that elite elite status. We are talking about three or four first-round picks but it is the man he got to make some noise you're led by big logic can't be involved in. Although there is it going to be impressive and so that's why I'm just baffled by the disrespected be the FBI with.

I hate that I love know exactly what it is they had pit like third best midcoast on the fly got you drive all the numbers it's really I think that second behind Miami. But maybe I'm just drink in the Ball for Tyler and I Tyler van Dyck is really really talented. What is that my big think my got dropped and rambled on Harley gone and I saw a bunch of drop that spring game and that's something you can click click take a lot of effort. It takes a lot of work and yeah I think I think I come down like that last week of the season or second the last week Miami. On maybe he'll just throw to the tight end all day long is Mallory I think is really good difference between Clemson and NC state deep defensively is what in Eric Maclaine's eyes deepened the line for sure hoping anybody close to Smith and conking the line and entity, not just the star power of the year Mount Murphy, skater Henry, how it is not just the star power to adapt behind and God that you like Ruger rather than that are just destroyers man and neither God bit you. I would not be surprised at all manic.

If Clemson has your five or six guys if they all leave letter drafted in the first three rounds of the defense of wine along how deep it is. And so it is the scary side linebacker man I give the nod to increase state of the unit. I think that one of the best if not the best in the country and also a healthy give individually. The blinker your friend Clemson as a linebacker and they give the best linebacker in the APC probably one of the best in the country right up with school out working so I think when you look at that. That way it's something that that Clemson is a little bit uphill battle. Bear in regards to the death of a have an interest to be on it. When you look at the secondary Clemson replacement couple figured out them and really get done. That's the position on the field.

You can hide if the other positions on the ceiling are great. There is no clear if you can pressure the quarterback up the middle that nobody can have enough time to throw the ball very deck with golden studio with my friend could see through it with the capital financial advisory group. We are talking retirement hotels longevity risk figure into our retirement and income plan.

This is the best of times and the worst of times and longevity risk live too long, but to me everyday lives not too long after we want to money to outlive us and unfortunately many people have seen you out there listening. Maybe one of them. Your money is not designed to outlive you.

You might outlive your money and that's not what we want to have happen because we get to that day after you run out of money not to be a fun time. Let's design a plan that guarantees you never run out of money. We call it the GPI plant growth protection lifetime income for the next 10 people is the golden ticket out of the snow that even to do at no cost or obligation, and all you have to do is call we make it so easy. Would you like financial independence into your retirement and beyond. 800-661-7383 that golden ticket is $1000 value or you could text atom to 21000 for Coach Pete to root I don't know who you voted for and you you are free to not say it be odd for whatever reasons, but I actually I voted for Tyler van Dyck for ACC player the year. I thought about Brian busy. I really did. I love Brian busy and everything he brings to Clemson's defense, but so many guys got support Devon Leary one and three times as many people voted for somebody not named Devon Leary so we could meet could have been anybody you know and half or five could have could've one who did you vote for. Yeah, I was with them and Larry. Now I think that you're going to have a candy ticket light year and when I say that I mean 4000+ yards 40+ touchdowns through the air and he is going to be.

I think best quarterback in the league. Now when you look at your pro prospect a lot of people.

I go back and forth with him on that.

I think I would and I could do better close yet prospect Devon Leary when the year. I really do back in a really fun position that if it hadn't been in and quite some time. When it comes to the level of ballgame that he can get them to a major player they take care of business and death Valley so he's my guy. I think that man he can do everything you want from a quarterback is unbelievable leadership qualities going to year three. As the starter and Adam that's right you the most growth in God is from you to the starter to your free, you see this massive week of knowledge and understanding it is not just what he's doing is what the entire office is doing from the offense of line receivers running back in a course where you need to get the football and so I'm expecting it a massive massive year from Devon Leary there and just 20 the way because the football on strengthening the college he got it all and thought put together a really solid year. Final thing for Eric Maclaine before we let them go in. Go back and install some drawers and maybe some sign shelving and is that it is pantry that is building the you had your former head coach Dabo Sweeney I'm not not that you know exactly what his thoughts are in this but with all of the money that is definitely going to go to the SEC and the Big Ten and I don't. I think were kind of done care with expansion until Notre Dame decides they want to join the league or not. I really think that work were basically going to sit tight here what you think your former head coach is thinking about in terms of do I need another $30 million for Me because I don't know or can we cut a squeak by between 35 and 40 million just I'm just I've always been curious. Why do we need the additional $45 million. The one thing I know about if I know about Clemson is all mine that they will find ways and if that is happening to go to another conference because of all the underlying reason you know then Clemson can find a way to do that and so I think that he'll be the first one to tell you that your quote Clemson belongs with the big dogs comes in is a big dog and one of the few I think there's 45 better at this elite level that we seem to last six years and there. One of the squires and and so they're not in a relaxed vernacular take a backseat that they will find a way to continue to be relevant as we all know that take money and you know whatever way that look. I hope and pray that with the ACC for quite some time as conferences been tremendous for the last 70+ years and I hope they can continue to be a leader in the space with all things you championship producing great young men and women and of course the revenue side of you you you just you just said out loud that it that if Clemson feels like they need to get to that to another league that they will figure out a way to do it.

That grant of rights does look pretty solid. Yes I was talking about waiting 10 year not enough. I think it there is not a legitimate answer and working on how to million dollar paychecks on other schools. I think a nuclear button press in The first I will be interesting to see even in North Carolina, I would be shocked to see, like that was a premier founder of the fleet you the bond and the leadership that they have not let it and so I hope there's a common solution that makes sense for everybody like us that it be a premier school do we have.

They're not there not fall by the wayside.

Do you need an additional $40 million to not fall behind Adam.

I always made an yeah yeah you do if an arms race man everything is getting bigger, better, more staff suffered whispers that the elimination of staff numbers and scholarship numbers. All that takes money and so take a lot of money and so that 40 million that the Georgia and Clemson Alabama and Ohio State have the Clemson course that Miami don't have you fall behind you start losing you start not being able to develop the same way it might not be of a five-year tenure thing you'll notice that in 2025 and so cannot get to that point, you have to take care yourself and man. I hope that we can all do that together that's my biggest hope must so I lied final thing. How many how many in the playoffs when they eventually announce it in let's say 20 middle of 2023 yeah man, I man I don't know and you know, 12, 15 whatever is left as much as we can eliminate some of the DS games (games are important.

People want to watch market best product we can because as you and I both know there's nothing like college football. Everybody wants to watch it like it's getting better games and we do need to get better games need to get away from the Charleston Southern's at the letter. There's no no I sent Sgt. the differently Gramlich and Maclaine. The podcast episode like 200 and billion it was." 200 which is crazy to think about right there right next episode you need to talk only about your pantry. All billing and product we were coming out talking all the coaches in the 83 and believe your cues are little. Next up will be product to check it out.

I we will need pictures the pantry when you're done. Eric Maclaine is the best. I appreciate your time. Thanks brother. You got a great talk too late. I would like to see what the pantry that Eric Maclaine creates likewise line is it is laminated using a local reason I don't make a pantry upon a 90,000 say I hope plaintiff pantry depends is it is it going in the kitchen. Is it in this like a little, little Butler's alcove was very cool.

Butler's alcove June 19, 2000 say it all started May 6, 1997 the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen pretty good week one matchup with Ohio State hosting Notre Dame yeah I think that's pretty good matchup.

I mean, I may be wrong but sounds like a game I'd like to watch the ramifications for an Ohio State loss are very different from the ramifications of the Notre Dame lost if Ohio State loses the game. It does not damage them in the Big Ten if they were to win out. At that point and win the Big Ten which would mean winds over the likes of Penn State and Michigan plus whoever came across the field and the Big Ten title game they would end up 12 and one in almost certainly would be in a college football player but Notre Dame lost for them while theoretically they could win out and be in the college football playoff.

They wouldn't be 12 and one it would be 11 and one they don't have a conference championship game and without that extra call it a data point, and without that conference championship behind them. They are really at the mercy of the Ohio State's of the world, or any other of the major conference champions including a Clemson now does Notre Dame Notre Dame and Clemson play this year. I think they will play as I think Clemson's nonconference game. Good nonconference game, not South Carolina. The centerline I don't think will be bad but it's just it's a more difficult I guess equation for Notre Dame Clemson at Notre Dame November 5 right and that would ultimately be an eliminator game for Notre Dame.

If Notre Dame is to also lose it. Ohio State, there's no I've always said this about Notre Dame competitively speaking, you run the risk of playing what amounts to an exhibition schedule.

If you lose early, especially if you lose a second I does nothing else to play for. You can lose two games early and when your conference. If Ohio State were to do that or any other school were to do that, you could lose twice and still win your league. Whether that gets you and will college football player for not amount like that's a silly conversation at this point.

Anyway, Marcus Freeman, the brand-new head coach at Notre Dame and I think is going to phenomenal job was asked about joining a comfort is been a lot of talk about Notre Dame and we loved right in our university loves them in. We love our independence that's that's where this program was built on. You look at the past.

A history of this universe and this football team will build on being independent plantings across the country now our president our athletic director is not going to put us in a position to be successful not to put us in position will work in the Harar University football team.

So if that ever becomes the case I'm sure will have to join a conference.

But up until that point comes to fruition and work in conceiving. Right now there are pluses and minuses to either staying independent or joining a conference. Marcus thrust the biggest advantage of not being in a conference is that you get to play the schedule. That's coast-to-coast you get to play the best teams across the country, you know, every year we have a game I would caution emissaries game. Are we going plan NFL stadium. My mission will be playing in Las Vegas first BYU in but that's who we are to study national global brand that that we continue to be, and continue to try to maximize but as you said earlier matches that we have goals to continue move that needle to try to be national champions and I think our conference schedule helps us achieve that goal, but is the development of steam. This can help us ultimately to that goal thing in the second clip he accidentally said our conference yeah right, but they play five ACC games a year salary I was calling this an open relationship is a very open relationship look, I've said I've said this before about the ACC right now. I know people don't want to believe this. The ACC gets more out of their relationship with Notre Dame. The Notre Dame gets out of the ACC like Notre Dame does realize a huge benefit from playing other sports within the Atlantic Coast conference probably helps basketball right and they play other sports at a very high level. Their baseball has become very good and deep playing in the ACC has helped but the Association that the ACC gets in for improved bowl relationships probably little bit of the juiced TV deal because you know that you're going to get 55 ACC games with Notre Dame but two or three each year on ACC fields so you control the TV for those those are important ultimately I think down the road. Competitively, Notre Dame will have to be in league, but we'll see how it shakes out. This is the atom gold shell June 19, 2006, but all started May 6, 1997 the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen
