Dabo puts the full court press on them, no doubt and I'm of the opinion that ample "spending money" is provided but I think the pedestal the players are put on is the main reason, greater than any other team anywhere else in America. The main and only real focus of anything Clemson is the football team, not other sports or academics, just football. Many of these kids come from very poor environments and never in their wildest dreams could they envision the complete worship they receive on campus at Clemson. The fans, the students and the faculity are "all in". They are royalty at school with no financial worry and find it very hard to walk away from the warm cocoon that is Clemson University. They call it love and family but in reality, it's hero worship of a magnitude unmatched on any other campus. The ones that you see on the sidelines that played in years gone by are many and the ones that were really good are living legends in Pickens county. We hear about the "brand Clemson sells ", well this is the real brand. All part of Swinney's grand scheme of things albeit on the shady side in my estimation.
