Swinney says covering full cost of attendance "a nightmare"

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney isn't one to back down from an opinion, and he voiced his opinion on the NCAA's full cost of attendance, saying that prospective student-athletes may make college choices based on the wrong reasons.

The NCAA's power five conferences voted in January to allow their 65 schools to offer players scholarships that cover the full cost of attending college, which could amount to a few thousand dollars a year more. Universities annually list a higher actual cost of attending college beyond an athletic scholarship, a number that is based on miscellaneous expenses that differ by school.
