Swinney blasts Ole Miss over 'tampering,' urges sweeping college football reforms

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney accused Ole Miss of direct, repeated tampering with Clemson linebacker Luke Ferrelli, calling it a 'whole other level' of misconduct and arguing the transfer-portal system is broken. He detailed alleged communications and a $1 million offer, and said Clemson has filed an NCAA complaint. Swinney urged governance and consequences for tampering and proposed reforms—from moving the portal window to spring and instituting OTAs to limiting transfers and overhauling revenue sharing—to protect players and restore integrity in college football.
