A lack of homogeneity in college athletics will lead to a complete restructuring at some point, according to the head football coach at the University of Clemson. He sees the bigger Power 5 schools forming their own divisions in football.
In football, there needs to be a complete blowup, according to Swinney. It is not feasible to have everybody in one group. Alabama has different problems than Middle Tennessee, but we are trying to make them all the same. The rules are for 40 or 50 teams and a commissioner.
The current system of college athletics is hard to get anything accomplished as college athletics continue to evolve and change in the new world of the transfer portal and name, image and likeness.
There is so much bureaucracy that you can't get anything done in a real-time manner. The rules are outdated and the communication is bad. There are a lot of positives when it comes to the scholarships. It is not apples to apples that you have all these people voting on things.
He is against the professionalization of college athletics and anything that leads to the level of pay-for-play.
I am against anything that devalues education. I'm for anything that encourages education. I have always said that I am against the professionalism of college athletics and people will come after me. Kids don't know what they don't know. If you professionalize college athletics, you can fire kids on the spot, and they have to pay for their tuition, housing, and everything else, which is a slippery slope.
Athletic directors would sign up for that. They would save money.
When it comes to cashing in on their name, image and likeness once they get to school, it is a good thing, according to the head coach of the school.
There is no rules, no guidance, no nothing. It is not sustainable. The kids are going to suffer in the end because of the mess and train wreck. There are going to be a lot of kids that end up with no degrees and make decisions based on the wrong things.
If there is a gap on the roster, the transfer portal will not be used by the Tigers. He said that the Tigers would look to add an offensive lineman in May.
My transfer portal is located in the locker room because if I am constantly going out and adding guys from the transfer portal, I will tell all those guys in that locker room that I don't believe in them.
The spring game will be held at Memorial Stadium. After six straight appearances in the College Football Playoff, the Tigers didn't make it a year after they rebounded from a 4-3 start. DJ Uiagalelei lost more than 20 pounds after throwing nine touchdown passes and 10 interceptions.
DJ made mistakes, but we weren't very good around him. We have to be better around him. He has to be better. He has lost weight and focused on getting better every day.
The freshman quarterback has been well received by the coach. The No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the class is going through spring practice.
One of the best things for Uiagalelei is bringing in a real competitor.
