Deablo gets a fumble recovery for Atlanta. Great to see him still active.
I botched it. Was misreading a report on his background contract details. He does have the clause in his contract but membership part is on me.
The NCAA didn't get much choice in any of this. This gun was put to their head by the courts. And until Congress prepares a framework in federal law by which the schools (as represented by the NCAA or otherwise) can collectively bargain restrictions on movement with players, this is what college sports is now.
Guys who had offers last off-season will have them now -- no one's going to isolate individual performances from the last three games as indicators of anything.
And I'm not sure the redshirt matters that much if you have any eligibility left. If you have it, great, but even guys with one year left might get offers. And if you have a spring transfer offer in hand and your NIL deal for this year has been paid (which I suspect most of them have been), why would you risk injury/future earnings for a program that is going to get cleaned out down to the janitors in the off-season?
Ouch! That's some serious low blow, s—-posting there.
Its the prelude to what is eventually coming.--in-season transfers.
Laugh now, but just wait until a smarmy Lawyer crafts an Anti-trust Argument and it happens.
If we are ready for $8m for an HC, and $1.7m coordinators then we should hire cheap until Hokie club is running like it should
I appreciate DC and miss him - hope he is ok
OMG! You're right, I haven't seen a DC post in days or weeks maybe! I hope he's okay, I secretly love snarkyness and he's the king of snarkville.
If he thinks he can get an SEC gig direct from Tulane, he's absolutely smarter to stay there. There's even more downside to the VT job now than there was in 2021 (and it's clear the 2021 market saw a lot of downside, thus us ending up with Pry), and he can crush the AAC while he waits and keep his recruiting chops fresh in an area he's comfortable.
We aren't going to get guys with slam-dunk options elsewhere -- or who think they'll have slam-dunk options if they wait a year.
When are the Bulls joining the Big 12, i missed that.
I have no clue what happened, or when it happened (I took a site break for a while), and don't need to know, but I realized earlier as I was paroosing that his name hadn't popped up. /end
1) until lawyers are involved, you can only RS once. That's only a handful of players like Reddish, Greene, and Woodson. Most have used their red shirt.
2)If you aren't on the team does that void the NIL deals? I would think there is some language in those contacts. I dont care about Mansoor Delane the LSU tiger, I care about the hokie version. His NIL is now worthless to me.
3) If you want more money next year you need to play because right now who would want any one from this team.
His record in one score games has been well documented, and he's gotten a lot of stick (rightly so!) for his game management, but there's also some significant bad luck baked into his W-Ls in those games. Dude could not catch a break and did not help himself make any at all.
Good thing we're getting a head start on all of them then.
Sobering comment: Godfrey says VT can't afford Sumrall and he'd stay at Tulane over VT on college football Enquirer today at 1 hour 3 minutes.
Didn't say anything about Mullen/VT, but did discuss the idea of Mullen to UCLA.
My theory is they made him erase his TKP account because he's heading the search committee
If there's one thing that remains true. VT will beat UVA.

# | Pry Fallout - Prepare to get Portaled hard in the next couple weeks Can't wait for the 30 for 30 that comes out in 25 years about how the Cadets filled in after the whole team portals out. They go 2-7 in the remaining games and still manage to beat UVA.

# | Pry Fallout - Prepare to get Portaled hard in the next couple weeks I'd be pumped about Ty Helton. His coaching tree is pretty crazy.
Exactly my point.
No one will take an AD job if they don't get to participate in the hiring process.
At least not a good one.

The NCAA wears kneepads for the players, but this screwed up situation does not help them either.
So shortsighted.
Another reason I am losing interest in this BS.
Yep, this is the point.
The NCAA is and has been a bad actor for years, but not everything in College Sports is their fault. A lot of the current hatred is misplaced.
The NCAA sat on their hadns for FAR too long, but now, pretty much any effort they make to reign in the Pay-for-Play and Transfer Whenever Shitshow that we now have is met with Injunctions from the Legal System.
So now, College Football rules are essentially set by individual lawsuits which (no matter what you think of the NCAA) ---most reasonable people can agree is absolutely the most dysfunctional way to do so.
