# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team Yes. They could've always tried winning some fucking football games
This just goes to show you how quickly things can turn.
If we get the right guy in and we pump some money into the roster, VT football will be good again.
So you're staying they are going to fumble through the endzone on their game winning drive to lose to the Hokies in embarrassing fashion
I must have really missed the memo on UVA suddenly looking like a semi-functional football team, when did that happen
Yeah they're quality. I was worried all off-season about them. Elliott has them competitive. I think their ceiling is still like 6-8 wins, if we were any good at all as a program we'd be able to beat them, but they're probably gonna steamroll our smoking husk of a team Thanksgiving Weekend.
Major missed eval there from Pry. I think we actually passed on him and elected to take several guys for the cost of what Taylor was commanding in NIL.
Willing to bet Morris just fractured his thumb
Maybe we shouldn't have pissed Taylor's Coach off so much...he looks better than all of our transfer RBs combined.
The whole NIL thing was fucked from the start. As someone who paid off student loans by their damn self (as I'm sure a bunch of us on here have), I would have done anything they wanted me to for a free education, meals, travel, etc. I'd be willing to bet large sums of money to say those benefits beat the hell out of working 3 jobs for 10 years to get loans paid off.
Idk, maybe I'm just getting more and more into the "get off my lawn" attitude..
Damn is UVA good now or something? Horrible timing for them to be on an upswing.
You know what they say- one lawyer in town is honest and helpful, two lawyers in town are rich.

Kromah reminds me of Kevin Jones. Similar running style.

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team But what is the true "market value" of a college football player?
For 70-80% --- probably zero.
The idea of NIL has been largely been a mass of pre-packaged bullshit from the start.
Here's where the value is----I want my Alma Mater/Favorite Team to beat your Alma Mater/Favorite Team.
That's what interests people. That's what turns TVs on. That's what sells merchandise.
What their chosen team needs to do and who they need to recruit and retain is largely meaningless to most fans. The Helmet sticker has 500x more value than the name plate.
If fans really deeply cared about who was wearing their colors, people like Urban Meyer wouldn't exist and guys like Joe Mixon would have been expelled and shunned.
Sure. If you still have a red shirt available to you, if you play in four games or fewer, you can avoid burning a year of eligibility on that year. My point is that you don't need the coach to actually hand you a physical red shirt for it to apply. To that extent it isn't a coaches decision.
This was the Chattanooga Bacon and Barrel Festival
There were bacon cinnamon rolls, bacon bread pudding, fried sushi roll with pork belly, a dozen bourbons, some tequila, some rum, etc
That sounds pretty amazing. Where does such a festival exist?
You do if you already used your Redshirt at least for now
Beyond the second half of this being silly, I'm also pretty sure the first half isn't really true either. If you play less than four games you don't burn a year of eligibility. No coaches input there. Obviously you aren't guaranteed a roster spot at a given institution, but in terms of NCAA eligibility, it really isn't a coach's decision.
The DC Defenders beer snake and lemon themed gear is pretty great

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team Yeah and getting punished for getting cream cheese on their bagels and getting new housing when the current housing isn't any good. All the while playing for the things you highlighted which is significantly less than their market value when conferences are pulling in multi-billion dollar TV contracts and head coaches are averaging like 7 mil a year.
Best thing the XFL gave us
But if the player just decides I am not playing and taking a redshirt and the coach has given no approval and there's is no medical issues, this would be like me saying I am no longer coming to work and I expect you to pay me until I find a new job.
