S.C. Senator ‘objects’ to SEC’s decision to cancel Clemson-Carolina Game

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham has a message for the Southeastern Conference.

“If you are going to play football, play football in a way that makes sense,” he said Monday via ABC 25 in Columbia. “To me, it does not make sense to stop the Clemson-South Carolina game if you are going to play other games.”

Graham said he is disappointed with the SEC’s decision to cancel the Clemson-South Carolina game, as well as other traditional rivalry games between Georgia Tech and Georgia, Florida State and Florida and Louisville and Kentucky.

Last Thursday, the SEC announced its 14-member institutions were going to play 10-game conference-only games in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
