Gotta admit, bud, your commitment to the Reductio Ad Absurdum argument with respect to NIL entitlement is impressive. Mainly because the whole thing is absurd to begin with. But this comment is outstanding.
They're monetizing their kid. Disgusting.
But only because I haven't figured how to do that successfully. /shrug
Nebraska and Penn State have the huge wide enzone sections- the worst seats in football. Many NFL stadiums are designed not to have those seats at all. That's not a good plan.
Could happen, but where are the 9? Our best teams would lose the type of game South Carolina is- big, neutral site etc. You don't think Shane- who has a top 15 type team- doesn't want to give Whit a big middle finger? you bet your ass he does. They will be prepared, and newsflash- Shane is a good coach anyway. Whit fired him essentially. I fully expect FSU to be a top 15, possibly top 10 team this year- talent wins in the end. Vandy beat us last year when we had Peebles, Delane, Strong, APR etc. our defense is not near that good this year. Their coach is better than Pry too. So we winning all of the others? Miami? Louisville? at GT? respectfully, nah
UCLA is much better off right now.....because they are a part of the B1G. That invitation will get them on a path to being in the black in no time.
Then where would people go when they walk down the tunnel from the stands to the north endzone concourse? If that's the road part outside the stadium (fenced off), that doesn't leave much room for people to walk that are already inside the stadium, concessions, bathrooms, etc.
Has anyone been to Croatia? I booked kind of a last minute ticket to Split next week. Was thinking of doing Split, one or two islands, and Dubrovnik in about 8-9 days.
And they added a fifth this morning in All American Tennessee third baseman
I just had this conversation with my son last night over a few beers on the front porch. It wouldn't surprise me if we see the same scenarios this season and for whatever miraculous reason Pry wins all the close games via sound game management and checks off 9 in the W column.
yeah, JMU - at the time a total non factor making mental prep hard- in a driving rain fluke game, you don't fire a hall of fame coach who went on to win an ACC title that year. it's not comparable to Trevon Hill taking swings at coaches and a non D1 QB lighting up bud for 600 yards or Pry being incompetent in every close game. not comparable. How close is Pry to winning the ACC?
The manipulate that heavily in the B.I.C of course. heavily. This is not your grandfathers GPA. And it could be on a 7 point scale too- not TIC. It's like the magic "reclassifying" lololol. I'm a junior, but because of the BIC, I am magically graduating next month now. lolololololol.
Huh? you weren't entitled to money in 9th grade? damn you chose the wrong career path. This kid is one of 500 D1 RB prospects. He's entitled to his bag at 14 years old. You didn't get the memo.
Solid premise on paper. We won't win close to 9 games in 25
Yep- 100%- Tennessee- college football playoff, Super Regional in baseball, elite 8 in mens hoops- something VT has done one of the 3 in 175 years.
That was me during the last year of Fuente. I was literally sitting in the stands thinking there were other things I should be doing.
1. 50/50 he sucks and can't play dead- no higher than that. Chances are equal he is John Candelas vs. Derrick Henry. 2. I am a patriot and die hard capitalist, but this shit show of late stage capitalism- money is literally the ONLY thing that matters to athletes in 8th grade- fucking sucks. This is all about money. This kids ONLY hat in the ring in life is an NFL pay day- no other options and its treated accordingly.
Correct, they want to win, not fuck around.
Colleges are following the 1992 US Olympic Basketball Team model.
Gen A recruiting. High rizz, no sus frfr ong.
Jesus. I noted that the article states he has a 3.5 GPA. I didn't know they kept track of that in MIDDLE SCHOOL.
So if interested in an Olympic sport don't go to an SEC school.*

I get that. For most of the modern SW shows I would consider them "enjoyable" if they made me feel like a kid again, watching the OG trilogy on a CRT in my parent's basement.
Andor is absolutely not that. Hell of a good show, but not that. And that's okay. To each their own.
To be clear I'm not advocating for borrowing money or deficit spending with the AD. I'm just saying VT institutionally likes to run the department in the black and has a loyal fan base that shows up. But the attention on the quality of the product itself is sorely lacking and I think the fan base support is largely taken for granted. Just wonder when the tipping point is where a large bulk of the fans that show up on Saturday's check out because we aren't enjoyable to watch. That's the only way I think culture and mentality with the program will change.
Frank after JMU
A little extreme on that take. We did go undefeated in the ACC that year.
You know 100% how to do that. You operate in the real world. So make sure they get an education and make good decisions. Do that, and they will have plenty of money to live on. It's a much much better strategy/bet than the .07% of these kids that make NFL rosters. And the even less % that actually manage their money well and don't have to podcast post career to put food on the table. But of course cash in on the irrational loser fans with no life that will pay this kid money for nothing but Go Big Red.
