Dabo Swinney’s beef with NIL almost made him quit college football

Dabo Swinney has established himself as one of the top coaches in college football, not just in his era but in the sport's history. After taking over a struggling Clemson University team in 2008, Swinney transformed the Tigers into a powerhouse, securing multiple championships.

However, as the multi-billion-dollar industry of college sports moved toward sweeping changes that would modify decades-old rules allowing athletes to earn compensation from their name, image, and likeness, Dabo was prepared to walk away from college football altogether. Being that successful and ready to call it quits over a rule takes a lot of beef.
