CLEMSON – Head coach Dabo Swinney has drawn fire from around the country for his stance on paying student-athletes, saying he doesn’t want to see college football become professional. With the recent FBI investigation into college basketball, it makes sense. But he’s also against a recent push to allow players to transfer without penalty.
Athletes would be allowed to transfer schools without restriction if their coach were fired or left for another job as part of a sweeping proposal that is making its way through Division I, according to a recent report. However, athletes would not be permitted to follow the departing coach to their new program.
