I mean I would be mad if we didn't leverage and have a ground presence everywhere that mattered.

We are the Largest FBS school(2nd largest public school) in the 12th largest state. There is absolutely no reason except administrative ennui and timidity that we should not be outlaying like the best of them.

We aren't a small school we need to stop acting like it, its time to start throwing weight around, anything else is accepting defeat already.

I'm saying go above and beyond what even they're doing.

I'm talking about building a VT branded facility in the 757 to use for annual camps, various spring workouts for the team, a summer scrimmage, and then bid it out for high school teams to use during their season. Have a recruiter on our payroll working permanently out of this facility. And then do the same in DC.

You want to open up our state for everyone else to use, fine.... We'll annex the rest of the commonwealth, setting up permanent shop in every major recruiting hotbed and take it to the extreme. Oh, you don't like it, tough shit, NCAA, you had your chance.

If the NCAA is going to blatantly cave like this and to those who have zero respect for the rules in place (also relevant: Miami, UNC), then fuck it, bend the rules in our favor as much as we can while spinning it that we're abiding. Take everything to its absurd conclusion.

Not what I was describing at all. Sorry for the misinterpretation. This individual puts on a lot of (Legal) events for the local DMV recruits, and VT hasn't participated = missing out on potential commits/recruits. UMD has been heavily involved, and as you can see they got a lot of local commits that we were strongly after...remember last year's DMV movement slogan to UMD last recruiting cycle.

If they're not going to regulate this shit, then we take it to the fucking extreme and legitimately test what they're willing to allow.

Have you not been watching Harbaugh the last 3 months?

You know what... fuck it

We should host camps in NC, TN, Md, PA, TX, FL, SC, MI, and CA annually from now on. Fuck it, you're going to come and try to poach ours, we'll double down on poaching yours. And absolutely pour money into this venture.

Kudos to the NCAA for finally getting it right on this issue. The rule they passed earlier was a terrible deal for student-athletes. Glad to see the kids' best interests being served here.

That is f what my ideal resolution looks like.

Maybe a school gets 4 or 5 camp weekends from May 1 to August 1. Use them how you like on campus or off but you only get 5 in a set time.

That way the big schools get really nice ones that are a draw, but maybe a few small schools pool together to rival them.

And it creates choices about balancing drawing kids to campus and going to where they are.

Because the Elite 11, and The Opening are somehow better?

Given the choice between literally Nike Run and Hosted Camps for recruits and ones where they might meet 2 or 3 coaching staffs Ill take the one at least hosted by a school and exposing them to college.

Besides this still has nothing on AAU shooty hoops

I defiantly understand you point youd like to HOPE that your QB has enough awareness to see a breakdown in coverage on the backside and make the play but there is so much that goes into it and its really the design of the play that dictates the QBs reads. the required drop is set to match the timing of the design of the play of who the "should" be open at the precise moment when the QB reaches his final step and then from there if that player is not the QB has to reset and make a pretty fast decision on the next read and if that's not open the next step is take off or check down because the time is just not there for us to stand back and survey the field that often. again by design of the play maybe its a max protect in which he "should again being the key word" have time to progress across the field but when you go max protect it limits your number of receivers available to you so youre still probably not making more than 3 reads in that instance either.

sorry for the long winded sentences I wish I took more English classes in school so I could actually write and it come out a little better and more presentable hopefully you understand what im trying to say.

Or, OR, it is the result of when the University presidents made the decision vs the AD's and it wasn't weighted towards the P5. Yes the P5 are bigger and bring in the more money but on this topic since it basically impacts both sides pretty heavily I don't see the reason to weight the voting towards the P5. Particularly since the Autonomy Group of just the P5 can limit it themselves, or do so on the Conference level like the ACC and SEC have done.

The D1 Board of Directors makeup is mostly University side: http://web1.ncaa.org/committees/committees_roster.jsp?CommitteeName=BOARD

While the D1 Council is mostly AD's and weighted towards the P5(who get 2 votes) and G5 get 1.: http://web1.ncaa.org/committees/committees_roster.jsp?CommitteeName=1COU...
