A: It’s really, really dumb. But if you need to know more, here goes. The Internet went full Internet over Clemson coach Dabo Swinney saying former Clemson quarterback and new graduate transfer starter at Mizzou, Kelly Bryant, would not be receiving a national championship ring because he transferred out of the program in the midst of Clemson's championship season.
Yes, Swinney could have set aside a ring for Bryant. It would have been a nice gesture, especially considering Bryant went 16-2 as a starter at Clemson, including a stretch of 4-0 for the Clemson team that went on to win last season's national championship.
