In addition, the office handles the multitude of interview requests for Clemson student-athletes and coaches.
The SID office also is responsible for publishing brochures for each of Clemson’s 19 varsity sports. During his tenure, Bourret has edited 86 award-winning brochures, including 27 that have dealt with Clemson football.
Outside of the SID office Bourret is active on Clemson’s radio broadcasts and has written a book with former Notre Dame men’s basketball coach Digger Phelps.
