Dabo Swinney 'excited' about benefits of NIL ruling for players, says Clemson RB Darien Rencher
As college football begins a new era in which athletes can profit from their name, image and likeness, some seven-year-old comments from Clemson coach Dabo Swinney suggesting his opposition to player compensation have taken on a new life.
But Clemson's current players say Swinney is fully supportive of the new NIL legislation.
"He's excited," tailback Darien Rencher told ACC Network's "Packer and Durham." "He kind of catches some things that get out of context, but he's excited for us to make the most of the opportunity. He's equipping us with everything as much as they can to make sure we have as much content and as much connections as we can. I feel like Clemson's been set up to win for a very long time and now we kind of get released to be all we can be."
In 2014, Swinney was asked about player compensation and suggested at the time that he might leave college sports to coach in the NFL if players were paid.
Swinney has since walked back those comments, saying his only priority is to ensure that any compensation is tied to academics.

I'd have more respect for him if he said God came down and told him it was ok in one of their weekly discussions.

Maybe I am missing something, but isn't that chick with the flag kicking his backside in the race above?

Dude… that’s not a race
That’s just the cheerleader that carries the L we gave him in the Sugar Bowl

He knows if he doesn't get on board wit NIL, then Clemson will go back to what they were pre-Dabo, and the ACC will truly turn into the AAC
