Steve Spurrier has remained notable in the football landscape, despite a decade-long retirement from coaching. Recently, he weighed in on Dabo Swinney’s frustrations regarding transfer portal tampering, stating:

“I thought by now somebody would’ve told Dabo, ‘Dabo, there ain’t no rules anymore.’”

Swinney’s concerns were sparked by the case of linebacker Luke Ferrelli, who switched from Clemson to Ole Miss despite having committed. Spurrier expresses doubt about the enforcement of NCAA regulations, believing they might be obsolete amid the current dynamics of college athletics.

“I don’t know if they’re ever going to enforce any rules now or not,” Spurrier remarked. He emphasized the need for coaches like Swinney to adapt to today’s college football ethos, which includes NIL compensation and increased player mobility.
