Jock McKissic's new book looks like it could've been written by Dabo Swinney.

For the first time in 156 years, Clemson University has brought the Will of Thomas Green Clemson back to campus.

Noonan, who has led Clemson to two national titles in men's soccer, is privy to major changes taking shape in the college game.

"I've never experienced anything like this rivalry, and it's so much fun. When people say sports are so much different in the South, it's so true.
