Background on how Clemson-Georgia game in 2021 came about

When Clemson and Georgia started talking about the possibility of meeting on the football field in 2021, Clemson wanted to make sure this was the best thing possible for Clemson.

“We are not going to make a bad deal for Clemson or the university,” Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich said to The Clemson Insider Tuesday afternoon. “We are looking at this being a positive for us.”

Radakovich said it was if all the planets aligned perfectly on how Clemson and Georgia were able to renew their long-standing rivalry three years earlier than expected.
