This is Clemson culture. I hope NIL doesn't destroy it.


Apr 9, 2022, 12:03 PM

How many of the players you recruit genuinely think they're going to play in the NFL?

They all do, and I'm glad they do. I don't really want them if they don't think they can. I thought I was going to play in the pros. I'm still mad I didn't, but that's the reason I was successful. I thought I could. What we try to do at Clemson is free them up to go play football and teach them and equip them as men and let them know they are going to be great in life. When they really, truly learn that they are going to be great without football, man it really frees them up to just go play.

Agree completely with Dabo. College athletics were historically a way for young people who might otherwise not have been able to attend college get an education. If the education is not the goal then college football should be abolished and the NFL should just establish minor leagues. Not sure I can agree that Nick Saban is underpaid but I respect his opinion.

The NIL is a seriously flawed concept. Here’s why ...


Apr 9, 2022, 12:50 PM

The guys who attract great NIL deals for big money are by and large, the same guys who will get their big payoff with an NFL contract. Throwing NIL money their way in college is really not necessary. Their performance on the field will put them in a position to make the big bucks as a professional. And if they fail on the field their NIL will be worthless.

The other 90% of the guys on the team are not going to get a shot at the NFL, nor are they going to be particularly attractive to those handing out NIL deals. They will continue to labor in anonymity while earning their college degree for free.

The creation of the NIL will simply advance a bit of money to the small minority of college athletes who would get their money eventually anyway. It does nothing for the rank and file players who make the team successful and create opportunities for the star players to shine.
