At least Wannstedt could blame it on poor visibility, looking over his mustache.
Whoa, while I said i would still pay if Joe upped the cost, I dont think my wife will let me pay enough to buy stadium lights.
Notre Dame is probably #1 on that list
Now thats some great quarterbackin' hair
What in the Dave Wannstedt are we doing here? Moving DEs to DT, Mike's to DE, OLBs to Mike, Safeties to OLBs, CBs to Safeties and then well I guess that explains our pass coverage since there's no one to play CB.
meal plans were on campus students only
That the meals plans couldn't be used if living off-campus...and needed to adjust their plans. It was a simple fix, one that could have easily been remedied by "refunding" the extra $100 or so and putting them in the correct off-campus meal plan category.
And yeah, they can transfer now in the 30-day window, but I believe it's similar to football where they wouldn't be eligible until the spring semester. (I think this is different than the original question where they could play a few games for team A, then go to Christmas break say, transfer, and stack a team for the March Madness run in the spring...)
I think the point is that we're now 0-2 in hiring unproven coaches. We can't afford another one.
Counterpoint - A number of those coaches weren't proven Power Conference winners when they were hired at their current jobs:
-Kyle Whittingham (first head coaching job)
-Matt Campbell
-Chris Klieman (there's talk of him being on the hot seat; his previous experience was FCS)
-Sonny Dykes (19-30 record at Cal from 2013-14; SMU was in the AAC when he made the move to TCU)
-Marcus Freeman (first head coaching job)
-Dan Lanning (first head coaching job)
-Dabo Swinney (first head coaching job)
-Ryan Day (first head coaching job)
-Kirby Smart (first head coaching job)
They should be able to enroll and play this season since the season hasn't started. They would likely have to wait to play until spring classes start or next quarter if on quarter system. Players are considering suing the school for misinformation that forced them to break a lease on an apartment and other actions taken by Wofford. The food issue violated a school bylaw not NCAA rules.
Players were told they would be in upperclassmen dorms but were placed in freshman dorms so decided to move off campus but were never told by the school that the meal plans were on campus students only.
What about the 30 day post firing of a coach window? Technically you could enroll for spring semester if they are given this loophole.
Maybe it was motivation to get them to remember to fake an injury when they are supposed to...,,
ACC fines Syracuse $25,000 for faking injuries in win over Clemson
They all do it and let's be honest, they aren't going to stop for a $25K fine. Not enough teeth to matter
like Clemson's never faked an injury
This was new, put in this season because of how this issue was perceived last season. I believe all schools agreed to it being a video review process by a committee and subject to the ruling of the committee so don't think they have much room to contest it.
No, because the transfer portal isn't open until after the championship game. You cannot transfer mid-season and be immediately eligible.
Hell, even Clemson would have beaten Wofford.
Nice touch!!!!

This actually brings up an important question, can you start the year on one team and then finish it on another team? Can't really do it in football (for now) because you need to enroll but for basketball it could work, bring in some dudes to try and make a run at the tourney as long as you early season record is not bad.
Did anybody else see that Syracuse has supposedly been fined $25K for fake injury timeouts against Clemson. My response if I was Syracuse would be "prove it" and refuse to pay.
The impact to Blacksburg, New River, Tech's long term plans are all riding on Tech still being a big draw.
Yeah, agreed, it's completely screwed up. The school housed the kids, then moved them, which prompted the move off-campus (because they weren't given what they were initially told) and then they fire the coach...and maybe/maybe not the kids are suspended by the NCAA over what amounts to like $100 in food credit. Someone send some Hardee's coupons, and clear this up. Sheesh.
And the NCAA is taking to twitter to say they didn't suspend the players...who followed the coach there and are now enrolled (read: trapped because classes started) for the semester. In the day of NIL, if they had taken a $250k car apiece, nobody would have blinked an eye. But over what turns out to be a Benjie over the entire semester...

Good move.
Now let's get our act together and hire a good coach and whatever staff we need for a competitive program.
May the odds be forever in our favor.
God bless you, VTGM. I really needed to see this
And, sorry for being the good news bear, but if you thought Brett Clatterbaugh was the answer at MIKE, he was playing DE when he got in near the end of the game.

I'm also encouraged by this
