CLEMSON - Call it The Sermon from the Team Room.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was previewing the Tigers home game against South Carolina St. when he was asked about two topics that have been trending and buzzing on social media - NFL players not standing for the national anthem and the decision by the NCAA to remove several championships from the state of North Carolina due to a controversial transgender bathroom law.
The first question centered on the NCAA's decision –which could cause the Dr. Pepper ACC Championship Game to move from Charlotte - and Swinney turned an otherwise ho-hum Tuesday press conference into a wild affair
“I don't have any thoughts other than I hope we are in the championship,” Swinney said.
