# | BOV set to approve plans to increase Student Fees nearly $200 to help pay for NIL 100%. My daughter was looking at some out of state schools. I had to explain the real difference in the costs. I'd have much more pending money and retirement savings but she's have $100,000 in loans.

# | BOV set to approve plans to increase Student Fees nearly $200 to help pay for NIL In state is absolutely the way to go. After all, that's where you're paying your taxes, and that's where you can get that benefit. Virginia and North Carolina both have world class universities.

# | BOV set to approve plans to increase Student Fees nearly $200 to help pay for NIL Are you kidding? Most (or all) of those universities spend far more on their athletics programs, even if they don't break their fees out the same way. Virginia schools may be different in that they spell these out specifically.
$732 isn't more than $1,000.

# | Board of Visitors to rescind approval for Student Life Village master plans. hmmmm.... as a father of a daughter and former patron of Slusher hall. I think it's more an indictment on how many boys also live in Slusher Hall one night at a time

# | BOV set to approve plans to increase Student Fees nearly $200 to help pay for NIL I have no mention of Out of State. I am only referring to In-state.
For in-state, I am paying out of pocket for in-state Freshman school of Architecture. So I have perused that more than dam near anyone here over the past 18 months.
I have posted at length on this exact data point.
We are all capable of looking at the website.

# | Board of Visitors to rescind approval for Student Life Village master plans. Slusher needs to be knocked down. My daughter is in it right now.
Early takedown for Jimmy 3-0
And these aren't happening until there is some sort of collective bargaining between the schools and the players. That's the only way the professional leagues have been able to get away with these practices, as they generally violate US labor laws. That's why lawyers have been transforming the sport left and right. There's no way that Congress is going to pass a law mandating these things, because they can't get their own heads out of their own asses most of the time, and do you really want Congress to try to design a fair system? Ha!
And I don't see a collective bargaining happening any time soon. Why would the players want to do that, when they can get their bag right now? There's no organization that would represent ALL the players from top to bottom of the roster, and there's no incentive for the top level of players to play along for the rest.
Unfortunately, bud, I fear you are correct in Virginia Tech's future competitive state, absent a breakaway league that we happen to luck into. Maybe that scenario would be lucrative enough, and have a built-in level playing field, that we might be able to compete. But I'm not holding out for that possibility.
This just makes me sad. And care a bit less, TBH. =^/
