Conventional wisdom would say it's Mitchell Ludwig. Only other punter on the roster, and he's already on scholarship.

All this awful winter weather in the DC area the past few years is all Obama's doing. He want to wreck the country...and is doing a damn fine job of it!

Yes colleges do need a system, if someone says Mr. Smith sexual assaulted her the college should have to make sure that they can try and accommodate the victim. Whether by moving class schedules around to keep accuser and victim apart up to and including explusion for an attacker. If the school were to just wait on the results of criminal or civil trials the accused could be done with school before any resolution.

No, they do not.
There is the criminal system and a civil system (which as lower standards than criminal).
anything less than the preponderance of evidence which the civil system uses as a benchmark must be less than that.

I do not want a system wherein an accused is protected by something akin to "Some Evidence".

What is deductible from your overall amount of gross income is never more than 80% of the amount donated to the Hokie Club.

According to my annual form, this only applies to anything you donated as part of your season ticket requirements. If you donate $1000 to cover your season ticket requirement, you can claim $800 of that. If you donate another $1000 for Silver Hokie Club status, you can claim the full $1000 there (that's what my form says, anyway). That's why they separate your Club Seat Premium from VTAF Gifts on the form.

To quote the form:

Any portion of your gift that is designated to atheltics may give you the right to purchase priority seating at an athletic event, and IRS rules may limit the deductible portion of that gift to 80% of the amount contributed.

The downside of this - if you review every targeting call, then ref's are going to be more willing to throw the flag, since their call can be overturned, no problem. We're going to see more flags, hopefully more correct calls, but unfortunately it's going to make games even longer.

I'm happy about it. I think both parts of that are steps in the direction of getting it right, which is what we all want. We want the dangerous hits penalized and the clean hits allowed. To me, it looks like they're getting closer to that, when the past couple years it was pretty infuriating how often a player was ejected because "the call on the field stands." It honestly seemed like the replay official was too much of a coward to overturn what is supposed to be a very conservative call on the field.
