Jeff Kallin, Clemson's associate athletic director of communications and strategic initiatives, told Newsweek what the school would like the fundraiser's creator, Dion Grossnickle, to do with the money -- and it involves helping tigers.
, Grossnickle further explained her reasoning for creating the GoFundMe page."At the beginning of the game, there was a closeup of the Clemson mascot that I thought was kind of strange-looking. Now take in mind, I grew up in New Orleans....so strange is a normal occurrence down here," she wrote.
"So I decided to create a GoFundMe page that I thought for certain would not draw much attention at all," Grossnickle added."It was not until halftime when I looked at my phone and hundreds of my friends were tagging me in stories about the GoFundMe page that I thought to myself"Oh my, what have I done?"
"So I will be attempting to contact their athletic department this week to see if they would like me to send the contributions to them or if they would like me to donate it to a charity of theirs or my choosing," Grossnickle wrote., Jeff Kallin, Clemson's associate athletic director of communications and strategic initiatives, stated what the school would like to do with the funds generated from the GoFundMe page.
While both teams have a tiger mascot, the GoFundMe page was created after a number of fans on Twitter reacted to photos of Clemson's mascot at the game.
