    Gross. For a man who just signed a $90+ contract to coach college football to ever say something like this about athletes is outrageoushttps://twitter.com/DanWolken/status/1121788686360879105 …

    I have a high opinion of Dabo and his program but hate this comment from a few years back and it’s worth renewing again. When the coach makes $9 million a year it’s not amateur athletics. It’s already professional. pic.twitter.com/CxW6829siT

        Look, to be clearer, at the ABSOLUTE worst, colleges and universities should offer lifetime health insurance for anyone who plays football for them, they are "entitled" to be protected from injuries caused playing for rich white coaches

        If all 85 scholarship players made $2k/month ($24/yr), that would cost about $2mil, and if deducted from Dabo Swinney's annual salary, he would still make over $7 million/year ... but to Dabo $7mil/year is just "amateur" athletics 🙄

        Since it’s amateur athletics maybe coaches shouldn’t get paid until they make it to the NFL.
