Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney says the lack of rules in college football are hurting the game he loves, but he thinks the sport’s growing pains will make it better in the long run.

Swinney, in an appearance on the ACC Network's Packer and Durham Wednesday, was asked about the current landscape of the game in which NIL (Name/Image/Likeness) and the transfer portal are the driving forces across the country.

"It’s crazy times. For me, I’ve always been about education. Education is and should be the No. 1 thing – and nobody talks about that," Swinney said.
