(A) The General Assembly finds that it is desirable to provide continuing and general statutory authority for Clemson University to incur debt for the purpose of, among other things, acquiring, constructing, renovating, and equipping certain athletic facilities, which debt is secured by a pledge of the revenues derived from the operation of the athletic department of Clemson University and by the proceeds of certain related admissions fees and special fees charged to students enrolled at Clemson University. Clemson University has demonstrated need for additional funds to provide for acquisition, construction, renovation, and equipping of such facilities. These facilities are needed to replace or renovate aging facilities and to provide additional facilities all to the end that the educational environment at Clemson University will be enhanced for the benefit of present and future students at Clemson University.
(B) Consideration has been given to this need and to the methods of funding it. It has been determined to be in the best interests of the people of this State to authorize Clemson University to acquire, construct, renovate, and equip additional such facilities and to incur indebtedness for these purposes which is payable from the revenues derived from the operation of these facilities and from related fees to the extent and under the conditions provided for in this article.
(C) Heretofore, pursuant to Acts 466 of 1957, 905 of 1960, 1277 of 1970, 1653 of 1972, 1303 of 1974, 760 of 1976, and 193 and 194 of 1983, the General Assembly has previously made provision for the issuance of revenue bonds of Clemson University for the purpose of financing and refinancing improvements to the football stadium on the campus of Clemson University known as Memorial Stadium. By this article, the General Assembly intends to amend and restate these acts for the purpose of broadening the scope of athletic facilities on the campus of Clemson University which may be financed or refinanced from the proceeds of bonds which are payable from revenues of the athletic department of Clemson University and related fees.
