Cassanova McKinzy spurned Clemson because he missed the Chick-Fil-ABy Graham WatsonWhat's really important to a college football athlete when choosing the right school? Location, academics, the ability to start early?How about a school's proximity to Chick-fil-A?That's apparently what swayed Birmingham, Ala., linebacker Cassanova McKinzy from Clemson to Auburn. When McKinzy visited the Clemson campus, there was no Chick-fil-A in sight, and that just wasn't acceptable."[It was] kind of the environment and plus they had no Chick-fil-A on campus," McKinzy said when asked why he didn't choose Clemson (scroll ahead to the 1:30 mark in the video). "You had to go like, probably like 15 minutes off campus to go to like a real restaurant. Their café was kind of small."Never mind that there is a Chick-fil-A on Clemson's campus. Clearly this crucial fact was not highlighted on McKinzy's visit. And if you've ever been to a Chick-fil-A, you can sympathize with McKinzy. There's no better way to start a morning than with a spicy chicken biscuit and no better way to settle into an evening of studying than with some waffle fries.I had never tasted Chick-fil-A before attending college and I can honestly say it was one of the reasons why I stayed.Of course, McKinzy goes on to say something about the Clemson facilities being too far away from the classes and dorms, but we know the perceived absence of Chick-fil-A was the real reason for him choosing Auburn.Perhaps whoever McKinzy's hosts were at Clemson took him to the wrong part of campus.
Note to Auburn.Get all major fast food restaurants moved on campus before the NCAA closes this loophole. Just think of the advantage we are getting over other schools. It's not right Pawllllllllll.
