When Clemson Athletic Director Dan Radakovich spoke at February’s Faculty Senate meeting, there were numerous themes with the potential to serve as the focal point of his remarks.
A recent national championship for Clemson football, a variety of ongoing Clemson Athletics construction projects and the fiscal success of Clemson’s athletic department could have each been obvious conversational cornerstones of the speech.
Instead, Radakovich chose to use his platform to touch on something much more important: the success of Clemson student-athletes.
The leader of the Clemson sporting sector opted to devote his time in front of a crowd composed largely of Clemson University academia to express his pride and devotion for the academic achievement permeating throughout Clemson’s athletic programs.
