Unfortunately that mindset is essentially choosing a program you can be proud of by default.
I think you're downplaying the value of being in the program for spring semester. One could argue by enrolling early, Clark will essentially be an redshirt freshman as well.
Let the Gentrification begin.
Has he scheduled the time of his announcement?
So does everyone.

Setting aside your specific choice, you bring up a good point about recruiting ethics.
Let's just cut to the chase. Recruiting is a dirty business, and we have a coach who keeps his hands clean. Although it's sad to say, in this day and age the question we have to ask ourselves is, do we want a program we can be proud of, or do we want a program that's a national championship contender?
Not a rhetorical question.
If they've already sold out, good on them.
If they're buying from our ticket office when their own school has seats available, then they're advanced stupid.

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: DE Josh Sweat to Announce Commitment next Wednesday Yeah I'm aware. Just wanted to try to introduce some levity. Pretty tense in here.
On second thought, it'd be cooler I'd it was Foster that opened the door. Then he and Jimbo would just stare at each other for a moment in silence. Then Bud would spear him, Edge style.

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: DE Josh Sweat to Announce Commitment next Wednesday So where the hell will Frank be? Does he have plans?
Gotta admit it'd be hella cool if as Jimbo is walking up to the door, it opens and Frank steps out, pats Jimbo on the back, and strolls to his car.
Oy. Weekend after Xmas and a 1 pm kick? I shall light a candle and pray to the airline gods for no delays on your behalf, good sir.

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: DE Josh Sweat to Announce Commitment next Wednesday A friendly word of advice, one Hokie father to another. Every time you go to the store, buy one pack of diapers. You will you won't really notice the added expense if you're like me and go shopping for groceries about once a week. Soon you will amass an impressive collection of Pampers and think, this surely is enough. Keep buying one pack each shopping trip. By the time the baby comes you'll be drowning in diapers and think there's no chance in hell you'll go through them all.
They'll last about a month.
Will Trey be healthy by then?
It's drawn over 30k the two times Maryland played in it. I don't think it sells out but I think we have the NoVa presence to put asses in seats.
Darn. Got excited when I got the notification thinking it had been moved.
My sportscenter app notification says 8 pm. Any chance ESPN has bargaining power to change the time since they air it, or is this just a mixup on their part?
I have a feeling GT is gonna get demolished.
He saw his opportunity and he took it.
So. Much. This.
We beat a playoff team, y'all.
7-5 since joining the ACC.
The Big 12 would declare the championship match a draw regardless of final score to avoid the higher ranked team being eliminated from the playoffs if they lost.
In your scenario, if OSU gets in and we didn't, it's very similar to TCU/Baylor. Throwing the rankings up to this point out the window for a moment, the selection committee would have to look at this and say, yes, VT beat OSU and both teams finished with identical records as conference champions, but we think OSU is one of the four best teams in the country and we think VT isn't. I don't think they do that.
Three committee had has pretty free reign to just put rankings on paper to this point without worrying about implications. Now they have to have the tough discussions.
By this same logic, I don't think TCU gets in. It was easy to rank them higher than Baylor up to this point with the recency effect in polling, but now the committee has to look at the body of work as a whole. To me, what's been going on since last night is a different conversation than what went into producing the CFP polls through the season.
He's wearing us around his neck like an albatross.
Au contraire, monsieur. VT is the proud home of the 2007 collegiate bass fishing national championship.
