# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team Past player, not old player he was traditional college age when he played, got to be careful in this day and age.

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team Why not? the only reason we aren't talking about these students getting those benefits is because they bring in profit. They are as valuable to the profits as the coaches are. I've watched a greater percentage of VT games coached by Pry and Fuente than Beamer (basically due to getting every game televised). But I've watched every game Fuente coaches and all of them Price coached and Pry and Montgomery. I will watch no matter whose coaches. Same with the athletes. I watch no matter what, because they play or coach or administrate or how ever some one contributes , I watch.
There is a reason WBB is more popular than WNBA, we watch for the logo on their uniform. Everyone has a part of bringing in the profit. So either it just goes to the logo or everyone should get a piece.
Pitt TD called back by false start.
8 yds on second down and had to do a 37 yd punt.
Pitt gas it at midfield with 0:29.
Actually now it benefits the Pathers after Louisville completely blew it on offense

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team Agreed, the chaos is perfect for them because it allows them to make any argument they want.
And for people to say...sure, it makes tons of sense that you are 27 years-old and want to take a Redshirt year while still getting paid to transfer to your 6th school.
Also to consider, any College Football Player Union would around 8-10x as large as the NFLPA and we have seen how incredibly well-run and streamlined the NFLPA is recently.

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team i'm missing the reference here. This guy?
Pitt got a FG but the drive only looked competent at midfield.
Cards just benefitted though for 20+seconds. Officials said Louisville declined the 10 second run off but clock was supposed to be running during FG attempt and it wasnt
GT and Cuse looking bad today

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team i wouldn't confuse the profits that the team are making with the cost of tuition, room, board, and facilities. Hundreds of thousands of kids would gladly take the perks that these players are spitting on.
Cardinals have given them 2 1st downs and 30 yds on this drive.

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team Sure. Look, this thing is a lose/lose for everyone. The current situation is untenable. The only way out is an antitrust exemption, and for that to happen, the ncaa will have to give up a lot.

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team You will notice though that the only lawsuit that has been brought to try to bring this change was by Dartmouth College basketball team and they won but later failed to form an actual union.
The players aren't suing to be employees because then it would put structure on the Wild West and they want structure less than the schools. It might derail the money train because as employees they could be fired but unless as employees there are non-compete provisions they could jump from team to team because school would no longer be a requirement.
Wake Forest has GT on the ropes early as well. Up 14-3, looking likely to get points before the half as well.
Impressive comeback to make it 17-17

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team Let's say it is legally possible for a university to declare the players employees without significant other entanglements, it would make these guys ineligible to play other amateur sports.
For all these guys that have no professional sports aspirations, they'd never be able to participate in non-pro leagues ever again, amount other things.
This is essentially a test of how far they can stretch Redshirt rules. Essentially, players want to be able to call it quits after 4 games and still be paid for the rest of the season.
It is obviously in their best interest to continue to be able to use team facilities to train, possibly practice.
But make no mistake, this player was not coming back to VT..that was bullshit. This is no different than when a verbal recruit "reopens" their recruitment....they aren't going back to the original school 99.9% of the time.
From the school's standpoint there is little benefit to having the player around and lots of risk involved-they would clearly be on the hook for any injury that occurs while there.
Or if you were on the hill but didn't rush you likely would have been run over and injured by doing the right thing.
It's not fully participating if the coaches waned them on game day.
That was the case under Fuente but seems to have changed now. Dante Lovett has already been erased from the roster. Sounds like Djonkin has been removed as well.
I think it's on fubo, might sign up for a few trial
Edit: welp, I've already done a free trial. Guess I'll wait and try to watch it tomorrow
