His problem concerning NIL is that it takes away the advantage he had paying players behind the scenes.
Let’s remember that Clemson, even with the Georgia game, is playing the EASIEST schedule among all Power-5 teams this year. There’s a decent chance they won’t play another ranked team until the ACC CG.
You make 2 assumptions that may not ending up being true:
1) Clemson will actually win the ACC-Atlantic and be in the ACC CCG.
2) The team in the ACC-CCG from ACC-Coastal will actually be ranked.
ACC-Atlantic
#16 Wake Forest Demon Deacons 4-0, 6-0
#22 NC State Wolfpack 1-0, 4-1
Clemson Tigers 2-1, 3-2
Florida State Seminoles 2-2, 2-4
Louisville Cardinals 1-2, 3-3
Boston College Eagles 0-1, 4-1
Syracuse Orange 0-2, 3-3
ACC-Coastal
Pittsburgh Panthers 1-0, 4-1
Virginia Tech Hokies 1-0, 3-2
Virginia Cavaliers 2-2, 4-2
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 2-2, 3-3
North Carolina Tar Heels 2-3, 3-3
Miami Hurricanes 0-1. 2-3
Duke Blue Devils 0-2, 3-3
As much as Clemson/NC State-Pitt would...Wake Forest vs Pitt will really move the needle won't it?
“Should I have gone to the transfer portal and taken a veteran over (Will) Shipley and (Phil) Mafah because Shipley got hurt? I’m not. Maybe you would if you’re the head coach and you can do whatever you want, but I wouldn’t change anything. Again, I’m not opposed to the transfer portal. I’m not. I’m not some anti-transfer portal deal.
“If I was at another school or university, that might be all I sign is transfer portal guys. If I was at some school where you couldn’t recruit the really best of the best high school kids, I probably would sign only transfers and that’s what a lot of people I think are going to do. Which I think is sad. It’s going to cost a lot of high school opportunities that they would had at other places."
Swinney concluded his message by letting reporters know if the Tigers feel the need to take a transfer, they'll do it.
“I’ve said this 100 times … if we need to use the portal, we’ll use it,” Swinney said. “But I’m not going to do something just to do something. I don’t know why everybody keeps asking me that. The transfer portal has always been around, it’s just been grad guys. But there’s not been anybody from a grad transfer standpoint that could come here, that I felt like, and start. And so, we’d rather take the high school kid.
