This helps it make a little more sense, but I hate that he gave up on Engineering like he originally planned

THEN START A SPORTS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM!

Bud is probably tearing the Dean of Pamplin a new one right now. If nothing else though, this is just one more reason to #BEATBAMA on August 31st.

Someone go make sure Pamplin Hall hasn't been reduced to a smoldering crater...

And make sure that the Dean's head isn't on a spike outside of Merriman or at the top of Lane.

Maybe I'm missing something, but Alabama doesn't list an undergraduate sports management program. There's a grad program, but not undergrad. I'm assuming they're selling him on the possibility of getting into the grad program if he stays for his full eligibility? That seems like a lot of "ifs" between now and then, and it also seems shady that they'd be able to start talking graduate programs with him. Or maybe they just get a pass since they're Alabama.

In any case, this is definitely disappointing. He seemed really high on VT for a long time. I will temper my disappointment with genuine well wishes to him. He's a talented kid. Recruiting is a complex game, and you're competing for the hearts of high schoolers, after all...

Saban is not missing the number 1 player two years in a row, I wouldn't completely buy that major story.

Exactly this, I don't think it really comes down to a major. No #1 prospect makes their decision based on academics, let's get real here.

Didn't Alabama say they'd cobble together something for Hand? Like a mix of classes and internships or something along those lines? They'd probably put him on a 5 year Master's course and keep him there all summers.

Sounds a lot like the Afro-American Studies Department over at UNC...that worked out well.

I believe that was for Andrew Brown's music production major, not Hand.

↑ This is what I was talking about. ↑ But it isn't as if they wouldn't do the same for Hand.

That is awesome! I actually laughed out loud when the website came up. Crappy news, but the laugh made it a bit more tolerable.

How I imagine Bud looks this morning

May we all get what we want and never what we deserve.

As a new Arrested Development watcher who just saw this episode a few days ago going through all of the seasons now I appreciated this very much.

I noticed yesterday on his crystal ball there were all of a sudden a ton of Alabama predictions which to me came out of no where.

Oh well, maybe this will help dominos for some of the other DEs we were after.

I guess Beamer was the one that told him he could meet Michael Jackson

Who knows where this guy will end up. He has so much pressure on him that it seems like he's changing his mind every few days about what he's going to do. Over the past couple of months he's switched majors, completely changed the list of schools he's interested in, and went from VT probably being the front-runner to telling his favorite coach (Foster) that he's not going to commit here. Basically, I wouldn't put much weight on what he says because he's only 17 and is under a tremendous amount of pressure from everyone telling him what to do that he probably doesn't know what to think anymore. Regardless, I'm not following anything else he says until NSG. I feel sorry for the guy though, because I don't know how I'd react to this kind of pressure, and I doubt it would help me come to the right decision.

The right decision being to pull the vt hat from under the table and say, "Virginia Tech" on ESPN/SECTV
