Swanny opens with a jaw-dropping look at South Carolina men's basketball getting run out of its own gym in a 95-48 embarrassment vs. Florida and asks the obvious question: how is that not a fireable offense?From there, the show pivots back to the chaos shaking college sports as Dabo Swinney's tampering accusations against Ole Miss continue to snowball — now with reports that Fresno State has “receipts” too. Plus: Tim Bourret joins the program to discuss Clemson hoops surging, the upcoming Pitt game (and winter weather concerns), and what went into Dabo's headline-making press conference as college football's “lawlessness” hits a breaking point.Text/Call the show: 803-450-0086Website: ClemsonSportsTalk.com

Swanny unpacks why college football feels stuck in slow-motion chaos, using Dabo Swinney's blunt takedown of Ole Miss' alleged tampering as the latest proof that the sport is sinking without real rules or consequences. As more voices and examples surface—from Fresno State to player-led accounts of in-season contact—the show explores how agents, unchecked transfers, and NIL money are dragging the game deeper into the muck.Plus, a look at Clemson basketball rolling near the top of the ACC, insight from William Qualkinbush and Jason Priester on hoops and recruiting, and why the longer this goes unaddressed, the harder it may be for college football to pull itself out.Text/Call the show: 803-450-0086Website: ClemsonSportsTalk.com

On today's Clemson Sports Talk, Swanny breaks down the Luke Ferrelli/Ole Miss tampering controversy and why Dabo Swinney's message to fellow coaches hit so hard: “Step up and call it out… or shut your mouth.” If there are no consequences for coaches, programs, or agents, what stops college football from turning into total lawlessness?Swanny also dives into Dabo's proposed fixes for the sport — starting with the calendar — and what real accountability could look like if the NCAA won't act. Plus: a “good of the day” moment as Clemson women's basketball pulls off an emotional birthday surprise, a quick look at Clemson hoops and the ACC road streak, and a wild note on Bill Belichick not being a first-ballot Hall of Famer.Text/Call the show: 803-450-0086Website: ClemsonSportsTalk.com

Hour two turns into a full-on college sports gut check: Qualkinbush joins to praise Clemson women's bounce-back grit at Notre Dame, explain why the men keep winning without a “star,” and then unload on the Luke Ferrelli/Ole Miss tampering saga — the silence from Oxford, the agent angle, and why this feels like a hinge point for Dabo and the sport. Swanny closes with the Duke–Darian Mensah settlement, arguing the system's chaos is finally spilling into courtrooms — and warning that if rules don't get enforced, the whole thing keeps sliding.

Swanny breaks down a wild Championship Sunday that set up Seahawks-Patriots, then digs into how analytics and fourth-down aggression may have cost Sean Payton and Denver in a snow-globe loss to New England.From there, it's hoops: Clemson responds the right way with a strong road win at Georgia Tech, and Brad Brownell's postgame comments highlight why this team keeps stacking ACC road victories.Hour two turns to the bigger storm in college sports — from “earn the logo” culture at Florida to Deion's reported player-fine structure — before Swanny unloads on the broken transfer-portal era, Clemson's “receipts” approach with Luke Ferrelli, and why the sport is begging for real consequences.

Swanny sounds off on the Luke Ferrelli saga and why the Ole Miss situation crosses from portal chaos into outright tampering, then connects it to the growing legal mess at Duke with quarterback Darian Mensah. The common thread: commitments, contracts, and accountability in a sport that's lost its guardrails. The show also hits Clemson basketball's first ACC loss, previews the weekend slate, and features a wide-ranging conversation with Tim Bourret on Clemson history, loyalty, and why today's college sports landscape feels unsustainable.

A gas leak nearly shuts down the show before Swanny makes it back on air — then it's back to business: Indiana's miracle run still hits different, college sports' legal chaos keeps getting uglier, and Clemson hoops' OT loss to NC State comes down to the thinnest margins (and the loudest free throws).

Indiana finally finished the story — 16-0 and a national title — and Swanny's taking a victory lap after nailing the call, breaking down the blocked punt, Mendoza's gutsy 4th-down run, and the late Carson Beck mistake that sealed it. Plus, the “contracts mean something” era arrives as Duke sues its own QB over NIL/portal chaos, and Clemson hoops gets the spotlight with NC State and Will Wade rolling into Littlejohn.

Swanny opens with a hard look at a college sports world that's losing its grip — portal chaos, fading loyalty, and the growing feeling that the rules don't matter — before diving into Clemson's roster moves, the quarterback debate, and what still has to make sense for fans to stay invested.

As college football spirals into portal chaos and calendar madness, Swanny asks the uncomfortable question — with Clemson basketball rolling and built the right way, would it really be so bad if Tiger Town became a hoops school for a while?
