Swinney: ‘Hopefully, people will respect what we want to do and will allow us to play’

Though news was moving fast this past weekend and into Monday with the Mideastern Athletic Conference closing shop and reports the Big Ten and Pac-12 might follow, plus the players’ coalition being formed by players across the Power 5 Conferences, it felt like March 12 all over again.

March 12 is the day when all major sports teams, leagues and organizations shut down in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The sports world was asleep for more than two months.

However, for head coach Dabo Swinney, this past weekend does not feel like it did in March 12.
