Clemson Tigers coach Dabo Swinney says there needs to be 'complete blowup' of college football

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney said this week that he thinks a lack of uniformity will lead to a complete restructuring in college athletics at some point. In particular, he sees the larger, more prominent Power 5 schools forming their own division in football.

"I think there's going to be a complete blowup ... especially in football, and there needs to be," Swinney told ESPN. "I think eventually there will be some type of break and another division.
