i got no problem with him stating his opinion, he seems to give the program his support in other ways
Love Nuk but disappointed in how he addressed it given the current environment and spotlight on Clemson. There’s a time and place for you to speak out, but to do it at a time where you know it’s going to be used against the program and dabo is a low blow.
Here's a long thread about this situation from last night.

I don't understand people who have a problem with renaming things. You really care what the honors college is called? Let's move with the times.
That said, I don't buy this being why he doesn't say Clemson in his player intros. This is something like the third different reason he's given publicly for it. Not that he needs to justify his decision.

Maybe it is just me, but I seem to remember Nuk citing he wanted to recognize Daniel High School a couple years ago and it wasn't disrespect to Clemson. Why the change in narrative now?
Why do guys keep whitesplaining their uninformed opinion.
Personally never sniffed the honors college. Could care less what its called.
Was that "oppressive figure" Sammy Watkins?
Nuke should know that Clemson would not exist if it were not for John C Calhoun, right?
Just because some dont like his opinion doesnt mean he isnt entitled to his opinion
My understanding is we need help from the state legislature to undo some law in order for us to rename buildings like Tillman. Is that true? And if we're still waiting for the legislature after several years of this discussion, why doesn't Pres Clements just announce the intent and tell the legislature to fix it but that we're moving ahead without them?
Is it also true that the Calhoun Honors College is named for Anna Calhoun and not John Calhoun? Would that make a difference and shouldn't we just call it the Anna Calhoun Honors College instead and to be clear?

What's you point with this? Please let me know what his reaction to John C Calhoun should be.
We're not waiting for the legislature. Clements released a statement about 3 years ago that stated the building names are part of our history and they ain't changing.
Not well researched by him: Tillman was like a million times worse. Calhoun , by the standards of his day, was very good to his slaves. Tillman wanted to rape and murder blacks to keep them under control.
Fans have wondered for years why he doesnt say Clemson. If it was such a big deal why did he wait til now to explain it? Especially when there have been multiple similar chances to explain it.
i actually hope Clemson admin earns his respect enough for him to be from Clemson.

What? How is this a low blow to Dabo? He doesn't even mention Dabo. And these building names have nothing to do with Dabo either. He brought it to light at probably the smartest time he could. He wants something done about buildings named after former slave-owners, and he brought it up in the middle of a giant nationwide upheaval over racial discrimination. Perfect time to mention it.
Ding ding ding. We have a winner.
I thought that Nuk said he doesn’t say Clemson because he has yet to graduate from Clemson, and until he did, he would say Daniel High.
So, change the name of the Calhoun Honors College because John C Calhoun was a slave owner.
Wasn't Thomas Green Clemson a slave owner? So..... eventually, the name Clemson University will be protested until we rename the University. I see where this is going.
What about the University of South Carolina - Pickens County.
No, that won't work. Too anti-Cherokee Indian
What about Lake Hartwell University?
Not sure about this history there
Old Main University?
Possibly
No, I got it. The Occidental Fighting Tigers!!!!!!
That’s got a ring to it!!

He still feels slighted by Sammy Watkins and the fact that he felt Sammy was the coaches favorite. I think this the true reason not the Calhoun oppression. Calhoun and Clemson are forever linked that is unless you just erase history. Time to move on just as I have moved on from the NFL. USA first always.
So, where does it end? Obama/ Kennedy/ Roosevelt District of Columbia?
Our, including cucks like Iceheart, society is so soft we're taking away guns from cartoons, and bringing down statues our country was built on. If we can't take the good with the bad, then we're in for one helluva bonfire

Yea! He should complain about blatant racism at a more convenient time for dabo!
Because blackwhinning is getting old, when they are the one profiting in this sport.
Exactly! His argument is so shallow. We can’t go changing the name of everything that has a small association with slavery. It was a completely different time back then. The negative aspects associated with Calhoun are tiny in comparison with the good he did. Who knows what his feelings would be if he was alive today.
We should obviously learn from past mistakes, but changing names of colleges and buildings is absurd to me. Where do you draw the line? Let’s focus on real issues that matter and really affect the everyday life of black Americans. There are so many other things that could and should be done to assist the black community but changing the names of colleges or buildings on campus isn’t high on the list at all.
Blacks are 13% of the population yet commit most of the crimes. Do better. Asians and Hispanics are hard workers and for the most part, stay out of trouble.
