Not sure if the Tiger football faithful will notice, but there is a big problem in the Clemson hoops program. Three hoops players were suspended for ONE YEAR due to an altercation. However, Sharrod Ford and Cheyenne Moore were reinstated after an appeal, while freshman guard Troy Mathis was not. Mathis was not just kicked off the team - he was asked to leave the campus.

Read that last story. this situation is hitting on racial issues that exist on the Clemson campus:
He believes there is an attempt to cover up the situation by the university so as to hide a bigger issue on campus.
“Unfortunately, there is a significant problem that the university does not want to address on campus between students and student-athletes, especially African-American students and African-American student athletes,” Rosemond said in a release. “The university has known for years that this problem existed and they have failed to use all the available resources to combat this problem."
