My dad and I actually started talking to some folks at the state level, trying to come up with a program to work with the VTCC to take advantage of the Corps-only cadets and give them a police/public safety/homeland security option. It would also benefit the Virginia State Police academy and other local police academies. (In sports terms, it would give them a "minor league" or "prep school" of sorts.)

Unfortunately, everyone got immediately hung up on who was going to pay for it.

I'm with you on 95% here. Absolutely, we and other programs have instructed our defense that if you are at all tweaked, you go down to signal you need to come out. Honestly, that's the safest way to do it. Prevents turning a tweak into an injury, and prevents risk of penalty.

I don't think there's a signal from sideline to go down. If we had great depth, then yes. But we just don't have the horses in the defensive backfield to fake an injury to a healthy player just to buy a few more seconds between snaps. We want our starters on the field because the drop off behind them is pretty steep.

Law enforcement yes, emergency mangament no. That's why I'm having to go back to college, despite having years in the public safety field, jobs as an emergency management employee require degrees, usually a masters in that field.

No. If he goes Pro and gets hurt he still gets some money even a fourth round pick will probably make 500k signing bonus, if he stays here and gets hurt he gets no money. Insurance against draft stock rarely pays out. I don't disagree that Bucky should come back and potentially be a first to second round pick, but even going now he could make a lot of money.

A good friend of mine went to Pitt, and according to him everyone has been dreading this game because of their inability to effectively stop a triple option.

And ACC record can suck it, I need a Navy win for my bracket. haha

He could get hurt and would never play again on the practice squad, and they could cut him before he has a chance to start collecting paychecks.

We can play the what if game all day, but the fact of the matter is, he has more to gain by coming back than he does by going pro.
