The mere fact there's constant arguments

Over NIL, portals, revenue sharing, etc., only underscores why Dabo was slow to answer the bell. He wanted clarification on how all would shake out. Remember, he's a businessman...has the experience...coached because he loves it, but would be successful in whatever venture he chose. Seriously, strip football from the lives of many head coaches and what would they do? Oh, and portal-wise...105 man roster...sure seems like the portal has come to him with the understanding he sought. Patience pays in the long run.

Motivation vs $$...that'll be the metric in evaluating for many athletes. Look at the pros who can't handle money...and a high school recruit will be equipped for all that will be expected of him/her? With the 'posse' that is shadowing their every move. Agents introducing themselves while they're in 10th grade? Family living vicariously through their child's/sibling's/relative's potential?

The athletes that come from a solid family structure with a sense of core values will be the ones who can survive the tumult in the coming years...maybe. And the first time an athlete 'underperforms' for the wrong people, there will be consequences. That will be a very sad day...and many will be left wondering how such was allowed to ever happen. Day late...dollars short.

I know one is that he doesn't want the kids who they and their families have put on an auction block. Lack of concern for anything but money show poor ethics. That's not saying that Clemson shouldn't pay players a true value for talent and hard work.

Dabo doesn't cheat by tampering so we will never be in those bidding wars which happen before a player announces he is entering the portal. That's what he was saying when he said some of these guys know where they are going before they announce for the portal.

We want student athletes not just athletes. That culls out a lot of players. That means the the players have to do acceptable classwork along with work in sports practices.

We all saw this system become unsustainable and some could see from its onset what it was. Dabo was the leader in this understanding, enough so that he refused to participate.

If we give consideration to our (Clemson's) position on these listed reasons to continue as we have then our football season was astounding!

Our player aren't making a mass exodus. They don't want to be part of a team that's here today and gone tomorrow. It says a lot about us as the Clemson Nation.

I agree 100% with your assessment. Everyone has to get their opinion out there.

He was in development but that was 20 years ago.

You are such an idiot.

Dabo has a lot of reasons for not bidding on players and tampering.

I am satisfied that many of our players are tampered with.

Agree with your assessment 100%***

Having two national titles buys him a lot of runway.
