As part of the athletics spending spree, Clemson is building a new $63 million Football Operations Complex. It is the next project in a line of buildings that has seen Clemson continue to compete in the college football arm's race. A lot of questions have been asked about if this facility is really needed and what purpose it will serve. The simple fact is that it is a necessity.
The thinking process behind the new facility is the same process that led to the hiring of Thad Turnipseed. Dabo wants to bring Clemson into the space age in terms of facilities and recruiting.
