Yeah, it was Wilford - I was in the east stands, freshman year.
No idea about Fallon though
That was Wilford wasn't it? I remember watching from the NEZ.
Not really related, but didn't Jimmy Fallon have a show at Burruss that night?
Do it. This is the way.
Because I want it and I'm not a nearly good enough football player to make the NFL.
Do I agree he needs or deserves another year of eligibility? No.
Do I fault him for pushing for it? Also no.
He was grounded enough to admit to himself there is very little interest in a poor man's Tim Tebow in the NFL. But Vandy will happily pay him to play there. Kid made a smart business decision. Regardless of how I feel about the whole thing. I ain't mad at him for making the best play for his finances.
I know this is sarcasm, but it is a very real possibility IMHO.
Especially for the Big12 and ACC which are already at a huge financial disadvantage to the P2.
Nothing like a little Saudi Oil money to close that gap quickly. The PIF in Saudi has made it clear that they are interested in Sports Teams and Markets.
Pretty soon, we'll have NFL retreads coming back to College, transferring mid-season, and every other game on a different streaming service so you have to maintain 9 subscriptions just to watch a seasons worth of games. All so we can help the Royal Prince buy his 12th SuperYacht.
Super. NIL was such a great idea. Nice job guys.
Similar with me. I plan to watch the following and nothing else:
Iowa State game - but will leave quickly if they are not doing well
Baylor game - but will leave quickly if they are not doing well
VT game -but will (probably) leave quickly if they are not doing well
If I see someone is destroying Penn State, I'll probably watch that as seeing Penn State lose is about as good as it gets for me at this point.
Congress has been asked to provide the NCAA an Antitrust Exemption for over three years now and has refused to move on it. About 80% of the court cases brought against the NCAA have revolved around antitrust issues. NCAA can't set up the framework to pay players directly until it's in place. As for extended eligibility that could be limited by antitrust, contracts but the longer it goes and the more precedents that are established, the harder it will be to put those rails in place.
there's some longstanding and ongoing banter on TKP about how Rayo simps for the ACC
Apologies for it coming across harsh to the observer but judging from the comment below it wasn't taken very offensively
And a QB that went 4 of 16, 81 yards, 4 INTs, and one fumble. Give us some halfway decent QB play, and we win in a walk. =^/
The Portal Giveth:
Well, now it does! Welcome home, Sherrod!
Side Note: I'm really digging Pry's work on getting Virginia kids back home via the portal. I think that's a great use of it, and gives us a leg up on some pretty good players.
I will continue to watch Hokies when it's convenient.
Otherwise I'm completely checked out on cfb.
This is 100% where I'm at right now.
Agreed. My intent was more of "his quality of play went in the tank" as opposed to "he was intentionally playing poorly".
This circus is just getting started. We have not yet imagined all the shenanigans that are in the works with all this free money getting thrown around.
It's whatever the lawyers can ask for an get in a court of law, because there's no entity willing to step up to create a fair framework to operate in. The NCAA doubled-down on the amateurism concept for so long, sticking their head into the sand upon any mention of change, that it took legal avenues to effect any real change. The only problem is that now the lawyers are leading the charge, and any semblance of normality is ripped to shreds.
Yeah. =^/
Yes FGs only
EDIT: it was a stark contrast to UM 2001 that scored every way, kick returns, blocks, interception, fumbles, passes, rushes. And the UGA is basically inside the 5 they ran it otherwise it was Bennett throwing a TD.
If we're going to be slow in the portal at least we're picking up quality players
1 for now, but if he hires a good lawyer, I'm sure he can make it at least 7 more
This is essentially where I'm at
Un. Fucking. Watchable.
College football just ain't fun anymore folks. I'm sorry, but I just can't do it. There are lots of reasons. It's not just nil. But there are so many different issues that are all driven by the same root cause. Greed. Unchecked greed. It has effectively made this sport unrecognizable in a span of a few short years.
I love this community. I'm not going away. I will continue to watch Hokies when it's convenient. Otherwise I'm completely checked out on cfb. It just isn't the same sport I fell in love with my freshman year.
Based on the Pavia decision, shouldn't it be indefinite?
I know how to fix it. Just bring private equity in. I mean with all that money, everyone will be getting paid much better. And we all know - some from personal experience - how private equity involvement makes everything better.
I trust I don't need to add the sarcasm symbol.
Doesn't this decision also effectively kill off FCS, D2 and D3 football? Why would someone go to an NCAA run lower division if it is going to start your eligibility clock?
I do, I've never been one to collect things and not use them. I know they're supposed to be of poorer quality than standard vinyl, but I couldn't pass on this one.
Are Hokies allowed to have news this good?
