Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney won’t be a fan of the fact that his Tigers will not be allowed to practice on Election Day, Nov. 3 – the Tuesday before their game at Notre Dame on Nov. 7.
On Wednesday, the NCAA Division I Council approved legislation that prohibits Division I student-athletes from practicing, competing and participating in other countable athletically related activities on the first Tuesday after Nov. 1 every year.
Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence said last week that Swinney was planning to give his players plenty of time to go vote on Election Day, but the Tigers would likely still practice that day because of the importance of preparing for the Fighting Irish.
