COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney, South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer and Coastal Carolina football coach Tim Beck all came together at the Statehouse to urge lawmakers to pass a law allowing their schools to directly compensate their athletes. The call for name, image and likeness legislation came Tuesday in a South Carolina House education committee hearing. They packed the hearing room, and South Carolina women's basketball coach Dawn Staley and men's basketball coach Lamont Paris prowled the halls of the House's office building to meet with legislators before the meeting started. The bill would overhaul a law passed a few years ago when name, image and likeness laws were just starting. The bill is also needed for lesser known, smaller teams, Coastal Carolina women's basketball coach Kevin Pederson said.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A frustrated Dabo Swinney defended his Clemson career to a radio caller who questioned his performance as one of college football's highest-paid coaches. The Tigers entered the season as favorites to win the Atlantic Coast Conference title after winning their eighth since 2011 under Swinney. “We are at a point now where if you don’t go undefeated, ‘you are losers and you’re terrible’ and that is just such a terrible mindset,” Swinney said then. Clemson went on to lose its next two games at Miami, 28-20 in overtime on Oct. 21 and at North Carolina State, 24-17, on Saturday. It's the first time Clemson has lost four games in a season since 2010, when it went 6-7 in Swinney's second full season.

CLEMSON, S.C.—The highlight of D.J. Uiagalelei’s 2021 football season might have been his cameo in Dr Pepper’s long-running “Fansville” ad campaign. That’s not how it’s supposed to go for the starting quarterback at Clemson University, which failed to make the College Football Playoff for the first time since the 2014 season last year. Since taking over in 2008, coach Dabo Swinney turned the agricultural school in rural South Carolina into a championship caliber program with expectations so outsized that last year’s 10-3 campaign was considered a down year.
