Clemson will charge students a $150 per-semester athletics fee to help fund the Tigers' athletic programs. AD Graham Neff continues to explore other strategies.

Neff added that across college sports, the majority of Power 4 schools either have an athletics fee or require students to purchase student tickets. At Clemson, Neff said, students have “free access” to all sporting events, including up to four home football games each season (half the home schedule) via a lottery system.

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson University's board of trustees has approved an athletic fee of $150 per semester for students starting next academic year. The panel debated the measure earlier this week before passing it on Friday.

The fee is expected to raise between $7 million and $8 million for the athletic department in 2025-26. The school had long resisted such fees and has not charged its students for single-game available tickets to athletic events.

Clemson's Board of Trustees approved a new athletic fee that students will pay starting next fall. Here's how much students will pay.
