Swinney: ‘Nobody ever writes any of this’

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is tired of being portrayed by the national media as a guy who isn’t for his players’ rights.

Because of comments he has made in past years, some being taken out of context or the full quote not being written entirely, he has been ostracized by the media and by people who may not know him or his whole story.

Of course, in the last decade, college athletics has changed, and players’ rights are at the forefront, especially when it comes to the money-making-sports of football and men’s basketball.

This past Monday, California Senate Bill 206 was signed into law which will all California athletes to be paid for their name, image and likeness through a third party.
