The NFL Player Eligibility Loophole Controversy. The Drama: Lane Kiffin has faced national criticism for exploiting legal loopholes to recruit and practice former NFL players (such as tight end Dae'Quan Wright).The Backlash: Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney publicly blasted the tactic, calling the current state of college eligibility rules "embarrassing" and a "joke".

The Ole Miss Tampering Allegations. The Rumor: Excerpts from an upcoming book (Lane Being Lane) claimed Kiffin actively snitched on his former school, Ole Miss, by feeding Dabo Swinney intel to help Clemson file tampering charges regarding transfer linebacker Luke Ferrelli.The Denial: Dabo Swinney vehemently denied the reports during his midweek press conference, stating Kiffin had "zero" to do with it and that people are just making up stories.
