Doesn’t Dabo ban social media use by players during the season? What effect will this have and will he be able to continue that ban under the new rules? I like what he is doing because I believe it helps players maintain their focus on football.

Correct. It's a team decision every year. But it couldn't

continue. Too much money.
I have read that some people think those top players could have a management company handle their social media on their behalf (how ridiculous this is all getting), so maybe that would be an option, but I would guess the Social Media "ban" would go away...kids that are looking to make $20k won't have anyone managing it for them and won't want to walk away from that. At least, I don't think...I know very little about the business of social media.

yes, this will get pretty silly between all of the players and fan bases. Not looking forward to that. We need less social media, not more of it!

If all the controversy keeps up, fans will go away and with it the revenue. I’m sick of it myself. A little humility is in order for us all.

Way that this can work. Team unity would immediately go away if this foolish rule is passed. Instead, let’s do away with company logos like Nike, UA,

...college football was special." And I'm afraid that day is not too far down the road. Give me amateur athletes, non-millionaire coaches, and smaller, regional conferences. But that horse is out of the barn.

That horse actually got run over and killed by corporate social media years ago. I maybe wrong, but I think that the good ole pure college FB ended with the first John Madden EA Sports NCAA Football FB video games....

Just park in the PepsiCo lot. Walk over and enjoy the Delta Airlines Tiger Walk 2 hours before kickoff ( you'll need a ticket ), find your seat in the Coca-Cola End Zone, watch the Amazon band come on the field 22 minutes before the start in Intel Memorial Stadium and as soon as the Microsoft buses drop the team off and the players rub Cisco Rock, get ready for pro football.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. There will be HS seniors who will millionaires before they ever even set foot on campus as well.

so when do the protests about income inequality start?

TL at over a million projected earnings but ETN and Ross at not even 100K? Sounds like discrimination to me! Don't @ me with capitalism and marketability stuff! it just aint fair! 
I smell another mess brewing.

My only thought of your comment is that QB's has been the most important player on the field since I learned a thing about FB for HS, College, and the NFL. And in the NFL, 9 times out of 10, the NFL QB's make more than the rest of team. And to take the racism out of your statement, If DW4 was still in college, his numbers would have been just as high or higher than white boy Trevor Lawrence!!!!

I am a Clemson lifer, die hard supporter, alumni.....We have seen the best days of true college football before our eyes here in Clemson. Four trips to the Natty, 2 Championships, etc. I hope everyone has enjoyed the innocence of college football, Dabo Swinney, College Athletics, Athletic Departments etc. The whole landscape is be changing right before our eyes. Don't blink or it will be gone sooner than later. This has become a big money game and us consistent supporters of the Clemson Alumni Association, IPTAY, Clemson Fund, etc will be kicked to the curb and forgotten about. Last time I checked, our donations and support are the reason these student athletes have an opportunity to come to the special place we call Clemson. Don't forget that please....In Clemson We Trust.

Will their football scholarships (which they were able to receive by playing CU football) be offset by their social media and endorsement earnings (which they were able to receive by playing CU football) ???
