Former Clemson player defends Swinney’s stance

Former Clemson standout Eric Mac Lain agrees with his old coach when it comes to how a national champion should be declared if the ACC, SEC and Big 12 are able to play the 2020 football season in the fall as planned.

On Aug. 11, the Big Ten and Pac-12 postponed their 2020 seasons until the spring, causing some in the national media to wonder who would really be declared a national champion with split seasons?

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was asked the question following practice on Aug. 12, as the Tigers continued to push forward through fall camp.
