I agree with this^ and simultaneously disagree that Whit was/is "a complete and utter failure of an Athletic Director at VT"

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. I think the ability to dictate that is the original agreement for ND to be a full participant and member of the ACC for all sports but football. If I remember correctly, they are bound to 5 football games per season against ACC opponents. That's how VT got the games we got both at ND and in Blacksburg. As part of the renewal, I'm guessing either ESPN asked for this arrangement to guarantee games against those 3 or the ACC offered it up to try to appease FSU and Clemson.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. I actually don't think the extension was a bad idea. He was garnering interest from FSU, Florida, and other schools. At the end of 2017, Fuente led teams had won 9+ games for 5 straight years I believe.
Not firing him in 2020 was the big mistake imo.

That's an excellent reference for someone wanting to understand what happened.
You can't fly a drone above 400 feet AGL anywhere, with some exceptions.
I don't think there were flight patterns that intersected. You had a military aircraft on a training mission. I don't know if they were following a preset route or going rogue. You also had a commercial plane that was diverted from the usual runway. On top of that, I don't think they saw the correct plane when they radioed that they had the airliner (CRJ) in sight.

Agreed.
Policy should be in place to make sure this never happens. The controller didn't fail, the entire system failed.
I'm not so sure it's fair to blame the controller for this.
Yup, Tobacco Road's response...
From what I've read, it isn't "free" to leave a service academy. You're on the hook.
Unfortunately won't carry any weight on Tobacco Road
....and Whit and Sands won't push the envelope on it either
Hmmm...new Wall Street Journal article pegs VT as the most valuable ACC CFB program.

And there's another thing
Based on recent budget cuts, there was one ATC working the job of 2, handling both airline and helicopter traffic. Overworked and overwhelmed, this happened.
But again, why even allow this to be possible. At my house I can't fly a drone above 500 feet because I'm within a couple miles of RDU and in a periodic landing pattern, so certain precedent has already been set to clear the air for incoming planes. Why have flight patterns that have even a remote chance of intersecting?
Thx, will give a listen. I did listen to TSL Siefkes podcast. If we're employing this strategy I think we made a good decision. He is a framework guy who sounds like an excellent teacher. He talks over and over about concepts, which scale in the brain much better than learning plays. If we were looking for cheaper up and comer with an excellent football mind, well, he sure talks the part.
I'm no aviation expert but from what I know of sailing the airplane should probably have right-of-way and it's the helicopter's responsibility to not be in the way. If we boil down the "who's at fault" just as far as the two aircraft I'd assume the helicopter, as a craft, is in the wrong here. Now, what kind of directions were the pilots under at the time? Was the air-traffic controller in the wrong here? Was there faulty communication? Are there bad policies in place to allow for different aircraft to be occupying the same space at the same time?
There's probably a whole lot of compounding issues - but on the surface, it looks to me that the helicopter is in the wrong just from a right-of-way standpoint.

# | Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal. Not only that, but ND and Miami have a history of big games against each other, so linking them makes sense. VT and ND, not so much.
they are bound to- an average- 5 football games per season .. key distinction.
