A proposal to allow student-athletes to transfer without restrictions reportedly picked up serious momentum last week.

And Dabo Swinney is not a fan.

The proposal would create “free agency and total chaos,” the Clemson coach told ESPN.com.

Under the current rules, players must sit a year after transferring unless they’re a graduate transfer. Under the new proposal, student-athletes could play immediately. The only restriction would be that a transfer cannot follow its old coach to its new school.

“We want a society with no consequences. OK, everybody says this coach makes a lot of money or that coach makes a lot of money,” Swinney said via ESPN.com. “Somebody’s getting paid a lot of money, too. There’s consequences. There’s buyouts. There should be consequences. You deal with young people, sometimes young people need to learn how to hang in there a little bit.”

Swinney, of course, was one of those coaches who got paid a lot of money. After winning the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship, he signed an 8-year, $54 million contract that made him the second-highest paid coach to only Nick Saban.

As for the “free agency” it would create, Swinney said that college scouts would be responsible for watching other teams and contacting players who don’t perform as well in a given week. There could obviously be restrictions on a certain contact period, or perhaps allowing for a specific window for transfers to occur.

Swinney said he isn’t opposed to tweaking the current system. He just doesn’t want to see it completely overhauled.

“I understand there needs to be some changes, needs to be some modernization,” Swinney said via ESPN. “But we’ve got to find the right balance. We can’t go from here to here. There has to be a right balance that’s good for everyone.”
