Clemson projected to lose $185K on Orange Bowl
Clemson is preparing for its first major bowl trip in 30 years, but the Tigers’ trip to the Orange Bowl will not result in a major payday for the program.
In fact, Clemson is projected to take a $185,000 loss for the right to play in the Orange Bowl, according to a bowl estimate obtained by The Post and Courier.
The projected lost dollars underscore a misconception that bowl games are lucrative for programs. In reality, teams traveling to bowl games, even BCS bowls, can struggle to stay in the black financially.
