The Penn State Giants
thats chris "motherfucking" ellis, thank you very much
I see a lot of dudes on that boat...are they the Miami escorts?
At least Nevin Shapiro hooked it up properly
i will tolerate nd for about 3 hours tonight
Can't we just enjoy it either way?
I agree that the dog is chasing its own tail. What I can tell you from my own personal experience as a student at VT is that the fundraising rules for academic is holistically different from that of athletics.
When I was a getting my MSEE grad degree I worked as a GRA for an NSF funded engineering research institute at Tech that was a partnership with 4 other schools. My grad degree was corporate sponsored and I got paid about $1600 a month plus my tuition was paid minus the fees. When I graduated the center has 10s of millions of $$ in sponsorship research from well over 100 different corporations. As an academic student in 2000, I could work for the university as a GRA and get paid but an athlete could not.
Also, I read an article the other day about the limitations VT has in athletic fundraising due to VT being a State school. Those limits would require legislation from the state to fix and thats going nowhere. Whitt eludes to this in his interview with Roth.
VT is operating with one hand and leg tied behind its back because of being a state school. Corporate sponsorship is allowed in the academic world but not so much in the athletic world.
VTs money problem is on the athletic side not the academic side. For example, there is a hot shot lawyer in Miami that donates millions to the U and can because of their Private School status.
At VT the big donors can donate a ton of money for facilities or to get a building named after them but they can't to pay athletes. That's what the NIL collective are for at the present. Once the House settlement goes into affect in July VT has committed to the $20.5M for this year but has no clue how to get there next year. They are getting creative and will probably raise student athletic fees.
If I can find the article again about the limits of VT fundraising, I will post the link.
The whole situation is messed up.
To my credit, I never tried to go out and party until I was allowed to have hair
I'm glad I've never fallen that deep into the sports-betting rabbit hole.
Because recruiting locally is much more economic and efficient than recruiting over a very broad swath.
There is much less competition than picking a hotspot closer to UNC or Penn St. or Dallas.
There's a lot of fake news about both teams going around right now. I found this one exceptionally hilarious:
Christian appears to be a true Senior (no redshirt years), why does age matter?
PORKCHOP SANDWICHES!

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, but it doesn't belong here.
Right- and get slammed for starting a carson beck thread.
The flu has apparently hit the ND roster, so my expectations of State Penn losing tonight have been adjusted
This thread has nothing to do with Carson Beck, start your own if you feel the need to air your grievances with him and this era of CFB.

LOL was this a typo or intentional?
24 year old, 5th year Senior Carson Beck playing QB for Miami next year is what all of you wanted when you said the players deserve laundry money. It's totally not fucking annoying and wrong with the world.
Nice setup!
Is that a VOX amp I see next to your pedal board?
shit...i had no idea penn state was playing tonight!! good to know
I didn't see this mentioned anywhere, so it might not be the case, but I have a hard time believing there's ever been a matchup this late in the season between two teams with that good of records before. Cleveland was 31-4 and OKC was 30-5 heading into that game. I certainly don't remember a matchup between teams with records like that.
At this point, I have a hard time seeing any team outside of Cleveland, OKC and Boston winning the title. Those three teams are simply head and shoulders above anyone else.
If he goes to Las Vegas, he will have the best QB in history.....as an owner.
I don't really know whether Williams will be a success or not, but agree that having an aura similar to Prince does not make one soft. Just ask Charlie Murphy.
Game. Blouses.
Shit, the first time we got pass they made us all go somewhere together, so we piled an unsafe number of people into a Toyota Tercel and a pickup truck and headed to Pheasant Run. It was my truck, so I got to sit up front.
