Clemson Sends Clear Message to LSU Before Saturday's Game
The Clemson Tigers reportedly delivered a memo to the LSU Tigers ahead of their college football matchup on Saturday.
Clemson sent a clear message to LSU prior to their upcoming Saturday game, informing the LSU Tigers that allowing former professional athletes to participate in the match could violate their game contract. LSU has indeed brought in multiple ex-NFL players, including former Cleveland Browns tight end Dae Quan Wright, to practice with the team this offseason.
Wright has stated he is ready to face Clemson this weekend. However, Clemson has not threatened any financial repercussions and is set to play the game as planned. Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney dismissed LSU's strategy as embarrassing, stating that it reflects poorly on the situation and the system being exploited. Swinney added that despite being in such a predicament, Clemson remains focused on their own team and game. The Saturday night contest will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET from Baton Rouge.
