Over the past several years, Clemson fans, and college football fans in general, have watched as college football became more professionalized, and no school has been immune.
While it’s not a full-blown professional model, there are a lot of similarities. With the advent of NIL, the transfer portal, and now revenue sharing, many schools are doing things that NFL teams have always done when it comes to putting together a roster.
That includes cutting players, an idea Clemson’s Dabo Swinney maintains he will never embrace.
“No. As long as a kid does what he is supposed to do here, he is going to have an opportunity to graduate from Clemson,” the head coach said during his weekly press conference on Tuesday.
