# | (Update: Decommitted) 2026 QB Peyton Falzone commits to the Gokies! So our players for the last 20 plus years should argue they only signed with VT in order to play against Wisconsin, and sue Wisconsin since they didn't get a chance to play them due to the perpetually postponed home and home series with them... /s
NIL is cooking, and recruits want to play for Key.
The AD (who was just hired by Michigan State for double the salary) unlocked a lot of new boosters who felt ignored by past ADs.

2 recent crystal balls to the Hokies..... I have been hurt too many times.
Maybe we could get his girlfriend to commit to Tech? That's about the only practical way I could see him here.
For real though. I know that sportsbooks don't offer betting on recruiting commitments (for good reason) but I'd be throwing the mortgage on this if it were an option. It's hard to imagine us winning this one
Definitely a nice touch having the VT hands in the game
He was passing someone when the tire blew. He was driving to catch the ferry to go to go to preseason camp for Liverpool. And only driving because he had a minor procedure and the doctor told him not to fly.
College Park is the worst
this is great
Extra 500k / year in his shoes (several children, very low probability of making 10+ mil / year ever again) is massive.
"he's narrowed his focus to a final three: Virginia Tech, Penn State, and Maryland."
Whelp, we know where he is going. The evil empire/my most despised sports team in the world big dogs us again. Hope I'm wrong, but ...
I read that they were in Lamborghini and it sounds like a blown tire. I wonder if they were dropping the hammer or if it's just a freak accident.
Either way, he seemed like a genuinely nice person off the pitch, and his skills on it were unquestionable. I always thought he brought a dynamic to Liverpool whenever he was included in the lineup.
Yeah just awful

The money aspect won't kill the sport- employees or not- but the unlimited free agency/transfer rules will. THAT needs governance more than anything.
State Farm stadium was about half full at most and 99.9% El Tri fans for the Saudi Match. I bet the US has a decent crowd in Houston. Phoenix is just as much a El Tri crowd as TX is typically.

No need to bring up the old Prem thread, but Rest In Peace Diogo Jota. And his brother.
This is the answer that has been staring the NCAA in the face for decades. Just make them employees.
There are thousands of students that are also employees of a university - I worked for VT when I was a waiter at Donaldson Brown when it was a hotel.
Once they are employees you can indeed sign a contract and have enforceable penalties for leaving early.
El Tri has been a complete dumpster fire for like 3 years. They were 9th in the world ranking in March '22. And recently were down to 19th. That's a hard slide for a top 10 team. Even our decline over the past year left us ranked above them. Before our 2-0 loss in the friendly in October '24, the USMNT was 5-2-0 against them.
We know it will be a "road" game for the US in Houston. At least they won't be outside. And hopefully the grass isn't an issue like the perimeters at St. Louis.
In that case, the player had signed an NIL Contract with Wiscy and then bailed. They going after him for breach of contract I believe and Miami for tampering.
If they put all the drama and politics aside- could be a fiesty US squad with Pulisic, Weah, Reyna, etc added to this roster. But I'm not optimistic. El Tri's basically A team vs. our not A team will be a challenge, although having seen them in person the other day, El Tri is mid.

# | (Update: Decommitted) 2026 QB Peyton Falzone commits to the Gokies! As long as they are not employees.
You can't have any laws or rules that restrict maximum money for players in any fashion. If you make them sign something, that limits their ability to get 2 million more from Ohio State. It will never fly.
He's a Hokie! Just watched it live on Wavy 10.
