Plenty of schools would love to have that facility...

I agree. It's not the best, but it's not the worst. I think the school is disingenuous when they cite the pool as the issue. It has been estimated that it costs the school a million dollars a year to run this program.
Is it improper to allocate some revenue from the financially successful basketball and football programs to support the ancillary athletic programs? I don't think so since it is these programs, alumni, and community that supports the basketball and football teams. Besides who is going to enhance Clemson's student-athlete GPA if not the 65 fully matriculated swimmers?
