Appearing on “Always College Football with Greg McElroy,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney took his national rivals to task over how they go about trying to poach his players...

“We lead the nation in graduation and retention,” Swinney said. “I’m proud of that. So, we do have a culture. We just had 16 guys go to the NFL. …All 16 of those guys, Clemson, their whole career. 15 of them are graduates. And so that’s culture.

“These kids love this place. … You think our guys are here for free? You don’t think people try to get Peter Woods, and Antonio Williams, and T.J. Parker, and Sammy Brown, and Ashton Hampton, and T.J. Moore?” the Tigers coach asked. You don’t think they try to get our players? Sure, they do.”

“There’s tampering. It’s insane what’s going on in college football. But our kids stay here because we’ve created value in the place, and there’s value in the people who you’re doing life with every day.”
