I agree but this generation has issues that those of us adventurous types do not match up with.

When I was her age, I asked to go live in Japan, bought a motorcycle when I got there and took a trip on Mindanao by myself where I hired some guys to take me by canoe up the Pagsanjan river just because I felt like it. I climbed Mt Fuji on a whim my second day in that country. I went and adventurized my 20's.
I met a guy in Virginia Beach that knew me because he remembered the nut that would drive up Rt5 on a motorcycle with full scuba gear strapped to it.
I had a long term girlfriend ask me to marry her but I declined because I knew I was restless and would be a terrible husband. I waited until my mid 30's because adventure awaited.

A bunch of her friends her age do not want drivers licenses. COVID ruined the drive of the girl that would jump into swimming pools over her head at 2 year old. This generation is different.
Nobody sings songs in their generation telling them the memories of an old man are the deeds of a man in his prime.

Lead 7-5

Layton gives up 2 RBI single but runner advanced to 2nd on attempt at home

Trail 5-3

After delay, bullpen went to complete meltdown mode in top of 8th. Now 13-7 and still going. Inning should have been over on a strikeout but Cooke let it go to backstop on strike 3. Would have only been 10-7 if he hadnt.

Please let me know how you made out after your trip!

Trail 3-0 in 1st after Mazzarone allows a bases loaded double. In a weather delay.

Magens bay was fantastic Fireman! We were lucky it wasn't too crowded as there was only 1 cruise ship in Port the 2 times we went there. Absolutely beautiful. It was also the only beach we went to that didn't have the 2 foot 'sand ledge' drop off about 5 yards out which is like quicksand trying to climb up and out of the water. Sapphire Beach was amazing too. Coki beach was super crowded, albeit still beautiful.

I mean shifert has always sucked .... but there is so many great things on campus, concerts, symphonies, art shows, cultural exhibits, guest speakers, gyms, intermurals, dining halls, student groups, etc that keeping ones head down for their studies is a great way to forgo the education VT provides.

My parents were professors, amd I grew up going to things on college campuses so I am speaking from a place of privilege, and yes some people don't have the luxury to do all that there is to offer, but a degree is a small part of the education a university should be providing students. College is one of thenlast times most people have to truly explore anything amd find out who they want to be. You will meet people from all walks of life and different cultures and viewpoints and no matter what your interest is there is likely some one there that shares it. Very few people know who they always to be at 20, heck they dont know at 30, or often 40. But there is time and resource to explore while in college.

No, VT's last game that season was 1 Jan 2009 against Cincinnati, same year he was drafted.

As a dad with 2 girls of the age where I am comparison shopping, this is 100% correct. VT is high on the "Good school" grade and one of the more reasonably priced from a tuition standpoint.

One thing to perhaps pass on. My daughter takes advantage of almost none of the "Amenities" that cost so much.
Her experience with the dorm (Slusher) and medical services (counterproductive) her first year has her swearing to never going to anything on campus that does not directly deal with her studies, eating, or the basketball or football venues.

I think this is it. The walls came down on the sausage factory; the lie became too obvious to ignore. Naivety and ignorance were impossible.

Edit: this shut down forecast did a really good episode recently on the failure of amateurism over the history of the NCAA, and they talked about the Todd Gurley saga being a huge turning point in public opinion

To point (b) here, the university has steadily received less funding per student over the past 30 years or so. If you've got a problem with tuition going up, that's something you should take up with elected officials. Costs rise, support from taxpayer dollars has fallen. You do the math. VT is still one of the most affordable universities in the state, all things considered, and we compare well nationally, particularly in light of the value of our degree (hireability and starting salary).

Just connecting some dots...I could see that a lot of people realized the magnitude of the money getting passed around in college sports when games were played for the sake of the TV contracts, which then led to people wondering (louder) why the players weren't getting a share of it, and then it snowballed from there.
