In a move approved earlier this month by the Clemson University Board of Trustees, the athletic department has begun the process of selling the two jets it uses for recruiting and other events — such as last week's ACC Football Kickoff in Charlotte, N.C. — as it looks to move exclusively to a third-party vendor for its flight needs.

As reported by The Journal of Seneca, S.C., the jets — a 1998 Beechcraft King Air C90B, and a 2008 Cessna Citation CJ3 — are also used by the university for various fundraising purposes. According to an action-item document and July 18 presentation by athletic director Graham Neff to the finance and facilities committee of the board of trustees, the demand for flight hours is up, which has already required the use of third-part charter services.
