The bottom third of the ACC. When Clemson won the National ChAmpionship
1981 applications went out the roof. BUT the average SAT score of the next entering class dropped. In other words, the increased visibility attracted more of the wrong kind of applicants.
The quality of the entering student at Clemson started to climb when admissions started seriously recruiting top students with free ride scholarships and focus on top ranked high schools.
I saw the first hand in my engineering classes. The number ads and Fs dropped to near zero even after I started giving harder tests.
While on the faculty at Tech, I saw academic standards dropping and the quality of undergraduate was not as good as Clemson.
