Dabo Swinney Has to Feel Totally Owned Right Now After NCAA's Ruling on Student-Athletes
By Ian Anderson

On Tuesday, the NCAA ruled that student-athletes would be allowed to make money off of their name, image, and likenesses. That's pretty much good news for everyone, except, well, one big-name college head coach.
Head coach Dabo Swinney previously suggested that he would quit college football if players were compensated, which didn't come too long after he signed a 10-year, $93 million contract extension with Clemson.
Didn't Dabo Swinney say he would quit before he allowed players to get paid under him? https://t.co/eN4REOJNh4

The NCAA's hand was forced on Sept. 30th when California passed a law which allowed all collegiate students in the state to hire agents and make money off endorsements, which is something Swinney, who, again, makes $9.3 million per year, was opposed to for whatever reason.
It'd be great if a reporter asked him a question about this because we'd love to hear a response. Is he going to consider a career in the NFL now that the players have a way of making money?

It'd probably be best for Dabo to back off this puzzling assertion, but if he doubles down, expect teams at the next level to start giving him a ring to inquire about his availability. But in the short term, expect a tense press conference when someone inevitably asks him about this.
