CLEMSON – For those who misunderstood Dabo Swinney’s stance on college athletes earning money in college and hoped that Swinney would leave Clemson and go do something else, think again. He’s not going anywhere.
The NCAA's top decision-makers voted unanimously Tuesday to start the process of modifying its rule to allow college athletes to profit from their names, images, and likenesses "in a manner consistent with the collegiate model."
Swinney was asked about paying players a few years ago and he said that he was against paying players a salary, which would professionalize college football.
