Their endowment, their academic ranking, their athletic program. There are many reasons why Clemson isn't relevant to the Big 12.
I'll take it that the Big 12 is looking to the TV networks in deciding what to do and Clemson simply doesn't add any value to their contracts. Why divide the money up more ways when you would get the same check?
MU and A&M added no value either. If they did then why do we see an "increase" when it comes to payouts with the new Big 12 TV deal? You can't argue with numbers.
But I liked watching CJ Spiller when he was at Clemson. I'll enjoy watching them play in the ACC. But as we saw in last year's Orange Bowl, Clemson has a long way before being able to compete with the Big 12 football teams.
