Clemson’s Dabo Swinney shreds ‘no rules’ transfer portal model in college football

Continuing his diatribe against college football’s lack of regulation within the transfer portal and furthering an opinion offered by most coaches, Clemson’s Dabo Swinney shredded the current model recently and said he expects change to come soon thanks to fallout from the looming House v. NCAA settlement.

Swinney wants transfer portal reform, along with stricter NIL guidelines and how uncontrolled free agency operates within college football.

“There are no rules right now,” Swinney said on “The College GameDay Podcast.” “We just want some rules. And I think we’re coming out of a period of complete chaos and where there’s no cap, the schools can’t handle things directly. It comes from outside entities. You have the agent process is not regulated. I mean, there’s a lot of challenges, but I do think that we’re about to enter into a much more structured environment that is going to … it might take a year. 

“But I think it’s going to create some markets, you know, to where there’ll be some transparency, there’s an actual cap. I think the best thing about the settlement is it keeps college football scholastic.” 

Swinney said college football will likely move to a salary cap of sorts akin to the NFL, where programs are paying top dollar at certain positions and bargain rates for others all contingent on how much resources are on hand to spend.

How teams manage that — payroll of sorts — will be a primary favor in competitive balance once revenue sharing begins.
