RE: Do Academics Matter?

South Carolina left the ACC in 1971 because Frank McGuire didn't like the fact a school had to win a conference tournament to make the NCAAs and felt it would be an easier path for his then-powerhouse men's basketball program to get at large bids as an independent.
The football program went with it because they felt being able to make their own schedule would allow them to grow their program out of the then-doldrums of the ACC, which was not a highly respected football conference then.
