CLEMSON – Clemson head basketball coach Brad Brownell says if programs are going to be successful in this new era of college athletics, NIL has to play a major role.

Brownell took his team to the Elite Eight this past season, and a big part of that run were transfers like Joe Girard and Jack Clark. Both players have moved on, but Brownell has already added transfers Jaeden Zackery and Victor Lakhin, and Brownell is looking to add more (preferably a big man).

That means NIL dollars, and Brownell said there is a misconception out there that Clemson isn’t in the NIL game.
