Clemson athletics director Dan Radakovich will join us on SportsTalk at 6:45 PM tonight to talk about the plans unveiled Thursday regarding fans in the stands for home football games this season. The school will allow about 19,000 fans into Death Valley and will impose social distancing regulations along with other guidelines to keep the fans and the football teams safe. Friday morning Radakovich held a Zoom session with the media to dive into the details about the Clemson plan.
Here are a few key items from Radakovich’s Zoom with the media:
