And VT's share from the ACC last year was $19.3 million.
I absolutely love that we're paying homage to Frank's first bowl game. Very classy.
I don't think that's confirmation.

I know the equipment guys like to troll, though. But if anything was confirmed or official, I'm sure it would come through their account.
I believe Evans is the #1 rated JUCO QB as well. Not sure by whom, but I read that somewhere.
It's Vick first, THEN Tyrod.
Tech will be receiving a lot more than the $85k for this bowl. They aren't the only ACC school in a bowl.
Here's an excerpt from last year:
ACC
$50 million base to the conference
$6 million to the conference for FSU (Rose Bowl – CFP semifinal)
$27.5 million to the conference for Georgia Tech (Orange Bowl)
Total: $83.5 million to the conference
Conference distribution model: all bowl revenue is divided equally after expense allotments for the participating teams and is included in annual distribution along with other conference revenue. The only exception is Notre Dame (as it relates to football revenue), which is handled separately under a conference agreement that has not been made public.
With Allen transferring out, I'm concerned that Texas A&M could easily swoop in and take him.
I'm ok with this!
Mainstream, definitely not. I find that the more hardcore stuff is usually a more local type of thing.

Well damn, let's get them all together and start a Scout team!!
http://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/sports/2015/12/06/virginia-tech-bea...
Tulsa has a minimum ticket allotment of 10,000 for the game. Virginia Tech has 6,000.
My dog's name is Scout as well! No lie. This is getting weird haha.
Where did you see the number of tickets VT/ACC is on the hook for?
Shouldn't be confusion on why this was done. Payout for the Independence is $1.2 mil. I believe the ACC splits the bowl revenues evenly. Split 14 ways (I don't think ND gets a split, but not sure) is ~$85k / school. Tech is on the hook for 6,000 tickets. The fan base probably isn't excited to travel for a 6-6 team. VT sells half the allotment. Has to buy out the other 3k seats @ $50/ticket = $150,000. Tech pays $150k and receives $85k. This doesn't even include travel costs, coaches bowl bonus, etc.
Add it all up, you're looking at $250k-500k in the hole for the 6-6 teams. This also assumes cutting out bowls makes them more difficult to go to, higher payouts, greater interest, etc. 7-5 teams probably lose money as well.
Not sure why the players should be rewarded with 6-6. What defines a good bowl game? Two mediocre teams playing a close game in front of 10k people? This is the participation trophy mentality you know. When you get a mediocre review at work, you probably don't get a raise and might get fired.
I'm obviously excited to watch us play one more game, but completely understand why the AD's are cutting out 6-6 eligibility.
Shit, he's so old it was just call the East Conference. It wasn't even that big yet.
EDIT: Read your post.
You're Brothers? Why yes! Virginia Tech is in the Brothers business!
I mentioned this in another thread, but on October 7th, Evans had two offers: UAB (who really doesn't even have a program currently) and Memphis. Fuente has been on this guy for a while. Same article said he was a potential mid-term enrollee, so could be here in a few weeks.
It's hard to say how this level of competition compares, but its certainly better than almost all HS competition we see. Evans is ready to come in and compete. I'm expecting him to commit this weekend.
Per Gerry Hamilton of ESPN, 4 star quarterback Jerod Evans will be taking an official visit along with his little brother, quarterback Caleb Evans, this weekend to Virginia Tech
Then copy and paste it from there. They left out the i on Jimmie on 247 so it was directly copied and pasted from there.

# | JUCO 4-Star QB Jerod Evans Taking an Official Visit to Virginia Tech Big dude, runs well and makes people miss.
He carries the ball a little low in passing drop backs, but he gets rid of it quick.
Glad he's visiting. He's with his brother, that is very interesting scenario.
Glad he was retained crootin. Nervous and unsure about capacity and experience with TBs. Hoping for the best.
There really isn't gangsta rap in main stream any more. People aren't really interested in that subject matter right now.

Careful what you wish for. Would teams to be tempted to play an NCSU schedule? Who wants to watch games with Eastern Kentucky, Troy, Old Do, South Alabama?
