When I first heard about the cancellation of the Clemson's Big Thursday, and whether we should cancel the Tiger Burn, it didn't even dawn on me that the reason it was cancelled was because of the tragedy in North Carolina. I believe that the "Tiger Tear Down" is a much better alternative, because the Tiger Burn could be a direct hit for friends of the girl from Clemson that died in the fire. I think it's sad that my first year here, I have to miss out on this USC tradition, but I completely understand why it was canceled, and I think it was a good decision. I am not exactly a USC fan by 'heritage', but I guess you could say they are my #2 team, so it's not like I'm missing out on a huge part of Gamecock life.
The motivation for this change in policy is to respect the 7 that lost their lives in a fire. I don't know that society will necessarily benefit from it, but many USC and Clemson students would be worse off emotionally if the Tiger Burn was still scheduled.
