Orange and yellow?

Football and rah-rah school spirit are overrated ! Just keep your car the way you like it, and focus on getting a good education!

Yeah, I'm pretty much in this camp here.

Consider ISyE at GaTech then MBA from Duke, then write your ticket.
Friend finishing BS at GT 20 yr ago turned down $60k (!) starting salary when Harvard business sent a plane ticket and interview date for business school, with a note essentially offering a full ride. Didn't believe him til he showed me.
If you do undergrad "business" it will be hard to distinguish yourself from every other tool of a business major intent on distinguishing themselves.
The yellow and black will work for Tech (close enough) and nobody at Duke will care unless Tech starts beating them in basketball. But either way, you better find a safe place to park it.
Just my 2 cents...

Yep, unless you're 6'6" with a quick 40 yard dash time, pretty sure Clemsons football program isn't going to help you much after graduation. Go with the programs that are winners and the ones that will get you the experiences you need to land a career not just a job.

I never cared for their football until after my acceptance.

They're just the most prestigious public school in the south based on how hard it is to get in from the employers I know.

I'll know what my scores on my second act are soon though which can get my
Clemson honors or maybe unc chapel hill.

Current plan is marketing with a (required minor) in management. Then I think I actually have time for a double major in economics. From there it's my choice to try for law school or an MBA. As well as try the job market. Clemson seems to have a great alumni network in the southeast with well regarded career services. So it's good to have some options.

Just tough to make decisions!

I know someone who works at Clemson. She deals with all student programs. Speaks very highly of the school and area. You'd do fine there, just like I said make sure you get as much as you can out of the experiences offered to you. You'll have more to talk about in a job interview if you are involved in a bunch.

That's the number one thing I have heard from everyone.

Get your money's worth.

Pursue internships. Use the resources provided. Try and get out in 4 years.

You bet Jake. Internships are worth their weight in gold especially if you get an internship where you are doing a lot of hands on work. Then you go into an interview and talk about doing the job you're interviewing for? The job is as good as yours.
