You think Walmart can't afford to pay their associates more than they do and still be massively profitable? McDonalds??
I'm sure your employer could spare some more to pay you and I know damn well mine could create a Benefits package that isn't so putrid that I have to drive to the next town to find an in-network Dentist to see my kids.
No one is in the business of giving away money but Universites should? Why?
Players have no one to protect them.
They would if they had Agents. Which is how this should have been handled from the beginning. Allow players to profit off their autograph/appearances ect. and then let the truly marketable ones sign with agents. Have companies pay them thru endorsements rather than expecting the public to cough up money to NIL Collectives.
Also, while you point out guys like Rashada (who was probably done as much wrong by his overbearing dad as anyone else) but leave out guys like Kadyn Proctor who completely manipulated the NIL system and fucked over Iowa. So there have been bad actors on both sides.
To be fair, UVA pumped a ton of $$ into their efforts this past off season. They are trying to be serious about football these days. If they ever do get real serious money will not be an issue.
It's taken Elliott four years to put this together
He's like a million years old, he's been playing college football since the beginning

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team I'm talking about the modern, post-collective post portal era. Since all these new rules have popped up, the universities have done everything possible to use it to their advantage - new coaches come in and clean house. Coaches and recruiters make promises, and then never follow through.
The situation is fucked right now. Players have no one to protect them. So I don't feel bad when these guy stand up for themselves the only way they can.
He should take up skating.
Decisiveness?
Hoos got off light only getting called for holding before that TD. Should have been a facemask.
lol uva is going to take out several decades of frustration on whatever's left of our team in November
Why is Chandler Morris better at running the Read Option than Kyron Drones??

You know, that's why almost every state has a pre-paid Tuition plan, 529 Funds exist, and SAT Tutors cost almost $100/hr these days.
That's a morale—killing drive by the Hoos
2024 free shoes, with bog standard castellanos, made the trip to uvac lol
UVA just bleeding time off the clock
What other sport / league has 100% unrestricted free agency, even in the middle of a season. Per the reports, these guys have accepted scholarships and NIL money and are deciding to transfer mid season or at least deciding not to play to preserve their future options (and apparently still want the money). No other pro league allows that kind of player rights for personnel under contract (which the scholarship should create).
So here's the easy counter-argument from VT:
VT competes in the ACC, where revenue is now shared partially based on TV Ratings.
If you are not competing in games, you are not aiding us in advancing our revenue and your absence may actually be reducing our revenue and producing economic damage to our University. You are now officially a tort feasor.
How about we file a Countersuit for damages from lost TV revenue????
Oh, what's that Darren....you don't want to spout your stupid mouth off on Twitter anymore??? Yeah, thought so.
Bold prediction - Elliot has a good year at UVA and Clemson hires him away to replace Dabo. Lol
I my scenario I am assuming they are still participating in practice and training
Bye short, I won't have to watch you dance with the opposing teams guards for the rest of the season. Dude couldn't get by a grandma's block.

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team The last 4 years expenses for VT was $450mil. There are 662 athletes at VT which is $720k spent per athlete for the last 4 years.
Now, coaching and administration is 41% of that budget. So 60% of 450m is 270m. You take out travel for games its down to about $250m, recruiting is another $10m so 240m. Another $5m for paying teams to play us and we are at $235m. That means what you listed costs more like $375k.
Now these numbers include uniforms and other stuff not listed. Another way to look at this is that the football budget is roughly 1/3 of the total budget. This means that it cost VT $300k for all sports not football. Subtracting 105 from 622 and you get 517 for all non football athletes which gets you cost per non football athlete is $580k for 4 years. But that includes everything like coaching, admin staff, game travel, recruiting, etc.
So the $375k number is probably still high but I would think its around the what an athlete is getting.
Out of that $375k, $200k is just tuition, fees, and room and board. So if you have an academic (full ride) scholarship then an athletic one is worth about $175k more, though typically academic scholarship comes with health insurance, and a stipend. And you can work and have summer jobs and you dont have any other obligations except get good grades. Maybe a banquet once a year. That difference can easily be made up and the academic scholarship rarely bring in money to the university.

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team I agree with you but I can't help but notice these were points DC made on here till he was blue in the face. They were rarely met with more than a shrug, and they were certainly never effectively refuted
Yeah I honestly wonder at times if they're trying to lose. Continually running right up the gut, what was that play call on 4th and 1, and his moronic use of tempo has put them in a lot of 3rd and 4th down situations. I think they've been just going too fast. Slow that shit down and churn clock and grind them down.
