Thus, Clemson's emphasis on "true NIL" from marketing deals for athletes via an in-house agency (and also Dabo Swinney's comments about hopes for a more level playing field if booster/collective deals are regulated): https://t.co/lEJXN3M1PL

Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger

In a meeting with Deloitte officials at ACC spring meetings, the company shared with ADs/coaches interesting figures on the NIL clearinghouse. - 70% of past deals from booster collectives would have been denied. - 90% of deals from public companies would have been approved.

I’m trying to find a way to write about two teams called Tigers who both play in Death Valley and Clemson tweets out the game time without writing either. Well done.

Also, Brownell added on ACC PM that Schieffelin is closer to 6-7, 250 pounds. Shorted him an inch but that's about 10 lbs heavier. "I don’t think it’s one of those deals where he’s all of a sudden going to become a starting TE at Clemson. He just needs to get some experience."

Swinney brings up more Schieffelin bball-to-FB conversions: -Pass pro, like defending, "He can knock crap out of them. He can use his hands." -Run-blocking, like a screen, "He can go smash a dude. And instead of getting a guy open for a jump shot, he's opening up a running lane."

Brad Brownell, on ACC moving to 18 games, says the move came a bit late so it's "challenging" to find non-con games for '25-26. Says teams have to be smart. If they're building, need t find winnable games. If they're NCAA tourney caliber, need to "attack it" and schedule tough.

Dabo Swinney, on ACC PM, expresses confidence in Ian Schieffelin's athleticism. "He's going to go from just a solid-looking guy on the basketball court to an elite-looking football player." Says he's been "high-pointing" rebounds vs. 6-7 guys. Now it's passes vs. 6-3 defenders.

Dabo Swinney asked on ACC PM about taking transfers. Brings up, again, that Clemson has taken backup QBs. "Nobody would celebrate Hunter Johnson, poor guy. Nobody celebrates Paul Tyson, but that's what we needed." "For whatever reason, people get excited about things."

Swinney adds that Allen has "gelled it together from a staff standpoint." Notes, as well, that he's done well as far as leading the players and recruiting. Mentions the schedule that starts with LSU. "Tough road ahead," Swinney said. "But it should be fun."

On ACC PM, Dabo Swinney is asked about hiring Tom Allen at DC: "Those are tough decisions that you make from time to time. I can't say enough good things about Wes Goodwin (won ACC twice, top 10 defense) ... but in the end, it just didn't quite come together the way we wanted."
