this is where the NCAA has F'd up big time... They have let schools self impose penalty's so the NCAA's job is somewhat done. Don't get that at all but who the heck knows
The UNC issue is baffling to me but the only thing saving them is the constant new information the school is bringing out which keeps pushing the NCAA's "Investigation" further and further. My guess is that once it is all done if it is ever all done they will absolutely be crushed. It is a total school issue not just 1 sport but the WHOLE UNIVERSITY.
Columbus is actually among the biggest cities in the country, ranking 15th in population. Bigger than Boston, Seattle, DC, etc.
As to number 2, I don't think they mentioned it in this article, but usually these reports come with the disclaimer that all totals are estimated and self-reported, so technically a school can claim whatever they want and no one can really challenge it.
Sam would like a word with you
What they would do is take away the recruit's eligibility. The school may face minor punishment, but you'd be screwing the recruit's career.
With how the Monogram is currently set up
Candidate must have graduated/or not, in good standing/with good graces of university officials;
This is one of the requirements for membership, so those few that are not considered in good standing with the good graces of university officials would not be allowed membership. Now also consider there are ways to utilize those "bad apples" in some places much like Maurice Clarett from Ohio State HERE
Not that I would advocate doing that, but at this point what would the NCAA even do? Miami was giving boats and hoes to recruits and they self-imposed sanctions so the NCAA didn't do anything. UNC actively funneled athletes to fake classes and I doubt anything big will come of it. Bama players are well known to be receiving impermissible benefits and the NCAA won't even investigate. In current state of the NCAA there is no real punishment for cheating and if the rules aren't enforced then what's the point of having them?
The architecture students I knew only did so much living at the studio because they put off doing the work for so long.

# | Speedy Scrimmage, Sizable Crowd Impresses Recruits at Hokies' Spring Game Can personally vouch for that. My first 3 years at VT were spent in the studio as an ID major.
Thanks for the reply!
I figured it was something along those lines, just wasn't sure where it was actually drawn.
As much as I love Rogers, I don't think he is the best tailback at Tech right now.
Say I am a HokieClub member or Ex Player catches wind of this and brings said recruit to the Spring Game, It would be seen as a impermissible benefit and would be a BIG MESS.
A prospective and/or an enrolled student-athletes (along with their friends and families) cannot receive goods or services based on their status as athletes.
SO-> if you are not related to said recruit your safest bet is to do nothing and enjoy TKP!
Surprised no one mentioned Clark's BIG hit on Peoples. That was a big time safety hit on a larger back
I think Mook and Terrell won this one.

I wish he had said "I've never needed a ticket before."
Dax is one hell of a prospect. I graduated from Shelby High and have gone to a few games over the last couple seasons. the kid looks like a college LB already as a sophomore. Really pulling for him to go to the good guys.
its thursday
Surprised Franklin didn't commit this weekend. We could use a nose tackle
I loved that. It reminded me of Clemson, where you can always go on the field afterwards. It shows you that they really care about their fans and I really liked that.
Love seeing quotes like this.
This isn't just a question directed at you VTGuitarMan, but anyone who might know the answer...
Where does offering recruits a ride to a school (for a camp or visit) fall under NCAA regulations? Are only parents and coaches allowed to do this?
If there's some former VT players who have connections to an area (like PDXHokie's friend), would anything preclude him from taking a van full of kids down to VT on an unofficial visit? I get that you don't want any improprieties to occur, but considering you'll hear how some kids missed out on a visit because their ride fell through I was wondering where something like that falls under the NCAA's purview.
I too would like some advice. I'm a noob to fishing and am thinking of giving it a try. I live in Hampton so I would be pier fishing in the chesapeke. What would be the best gear and lures to use?
OOOOOOOOOooooooooOoooOoOoOOOOoooooOoooOOOOOOOoOoOOOOoooo snap!
I love this craze. All of the videos are hilarious. The nostalgia of remembering this song when I was in elementary school probably helps
Is there anything that we do that is not awesome??
