CLEMSON – Name/Image/Likeness (NIL) endorsements have drastically changed the landscape of college football, and many might say it’s not for the better as college programs scramble to provide top dollars for current players and incoming recruits. Some have the resources to make a splash, and some don’t. Can “Little Old Clemson” compete with the big boys? Tigers athletic director Graham Neff thinks so.
In the last few weeks, it’s been rumored that the University of Tennessee lured 5-star quarterback Nico Iamaleava out of the state of California and into the Smokies for an NIL deal upwards of $8 million.
