Dabo Swinney is catching strays from DJ Uiagalelei’s father after Clemson’s embarrassing Week 1 loss.
In a tweet aimed at the Tigers head coach, Dave Uiagalelei said: “I get it, [YOU’RE] against the portal, and you dislike NIL. But that’s you and how you feel. Your obligation is to the athletes and what best fits the success of the program!!!!!!”
