Melbourne, Australia?
On paper, that looks great. In practice, imagine the shitshow that will commence if a team who gets that bid suddenly realizes their starting QB doesn't have a passport. I didn't have a passport in college, and I imagine several student athletes don't, either.
It's one thing when Notre Dame plays BC in Ireland in the regular season. That's set years in advance and the ADs have tons of time to make sure everything is kosher. A bowl bid well within the typical six week window for a passport is another thing.
I didn't bother to read the bill, but (and this applies to my comment below as well) maybe it is only a temporary scholarship suspension for the time they are on strike rather than a full on boot from football?
Welcome to the clown college that is the Missouri university system right now.
Aaaaaand the Missouri recruiting class will be jumping ship even faster than after the coaching change. Threatening student athletes, who already feel (correctly or not) that they are earning the university much more than the value of their scholarships, is not going to help this situation. I get it, if they aren't performing the thing their scholarship is based on, they shouldn't get to stay for free, but there are many more ways these players can lose than ways they can gain. Does a player get anything more for being an All-American? The university certainly does.
There is the aspect of being proud to represent your university in sporting contests and being a benefit for the school, but what if the schools actions make you ashamed? Should you have to forfeit your livelihood to say so?
That's odd. It opened up just fine for me on my computer when I posted it earlier and just now on mobile when I checked it. Should open to 247's list of 2012 VT commits, listing Trey as an OLB.
Good for him. Go get some Kendall, we'll be watching on Sundays. Would love to see him, kyshoen, and d hall in burgundy and gold next year.
It definitely added to the discussion, we just got our signals crossed. Since the whole thing started with a reply to me saying he projected as a linebacker by the scouting services, I thought you were refuting that claim.
I will bet the mortgage that Virginia Tech will be the only school to produce 3 brothers that are on NFL 53 man rosters, if not starting next year.
Eat that other schools everywhere.
That bill is the biggest knee-jerk overreaction. So now, if student-athletes should strike, universities won't just have to forfeit a game or two while the strike lasts, but essentially the entire season, since, you know... all the players just had their schollies pulled. No scholarship players means no team, means no games. Either that, or they try to whip up a roster of scrubs real quick. I hear Scott Bakula has a hell of an arm.
All you eeling folks (we know you are here) that head out of Rudee and Lynnhaven to fish around the bridge and Cape Charles- chime in!
They're actually all in pretty interesting locations: Austin TX, Charleston SC, and Melbourne Australia

Hokie BAKness is in the air!
Going to be awesome when he and his brother are All Pro corners and Kam continues to be an All Pro safety. DBU indeed, best of luck Kendall.
Apparently depends on how practice goes tomorrow. But basically he has an hyperextended knee and has sat out the normal recovery time. I suspect that he will end up not going on IR and possibly playing this weekend, but if he does end up on IR it isn't the end of the world. Norman was talking it up about Lou Young this morning.
I can't wait to see what he does in the Pros.
Give 'em hell, Kendall!

Best of luck Kendall, and thanks for the memories!
Beamer didn't have a great record against ranked opponents either, and i'm talking about in his prime.
Oh, we need you alright. We need you to suit up. The time has come.
UVA at number 8. Way too high! I miss Mike London already!
The NFL could use Macho Harris . Hopefully he's willing to come back to the US.
Godspeed young man, Godspeed.
I also can't find the GIF where he came off the edge and had a sack at anOSU. That was one of my favorite plays.
K. Fuller has first round talent. I cant blame him for going to the NFL early. VT simply needs a fifth Fuller!
So basically the equivalent of, "You can't fire me, I quit!" Sounds about right.
