Well, scrape off the ketchup, mince up the meat and add it to the ramen noodle soup and you can actually eat something like that. Ramen makes the most of leftover meat and also vegetables to liven it up some. Cheap but quite tasty way to clean out the fridge.
The crime described above is certainly beyond the pale, though.

I feel like this is representative of a lot of business leadership in America. Too many leaders are afraid to take the blame if something goes wrong so they ride the slowly sinking ship to the bottom of the ocean instead of taking a risk and rocking the boat.

Sam is probably one of the recent last of the this type of people we love on on our teams.
Sheer grit and determination, his genetics didn't help him.
My youngest daughter named her kitten Sam as she even recognized him for the determination and leader he was/is.

Long live the Sam Rogers' and those of his ilk that lead us into the future.

Shane's best recruit at VT was Holland Fisher...

Was at the preseason game he was catching passes well, getting open as a safety valve and running hard. Past protection was tough to see from the stands though,

If the chart about the ACC being the worst of the P4 for growth, and/or an assessment on minimum vs offered scholarship sports doesn't get some sort of change regarding athletics funding going, I dont think anything will. And I've seen enough inaction from Sands and others to doubt it amounts to anything unfortunately

We should do that immediately

Here's the crazy thing. I feel like you, I, and others have had this thought for at least five years - and the fact that nothing has happened speaks to the ignorance of the BOV. It's maddening!

Student Fees amount for 5% of all FBS revenue (for all sports)

For the SEC it is 1%, $14m or less than $1m per school

Big Ten is 1% which is $30m or less than $2m per school.

However, schools like Nebraska, Alabama, Michigan, Wisconsin, LSU all have zero revenue from student fees. They aren't the onlying ones but like you I'm on mobile so I cant get a good chart of them all easily.

In the ACC, UVA and VT get more money from students than the other universities.

Charging students as a fee isnt really done at most of the P4

Are you sure this is true? I feel like a lot of data. I've seen suggest that VTs student fee are a much cheaper than most. On mobile now, so can't really look it up, but I thought this is something that's changed drastically in the last decade.

So we can cut 8 programs to direct more funds to our revenue generating programs.

We should do that immediately. Consider bringing them back when the athletic department is healthy. Right now, it's not just sick, it's dying. Drastic measures must be made soon.

Even the experiences like party at PKs with assistant coaches just isnt something I want. I'd rather pay them to go watch more film to figure out why we were 6-7.
