The order doesn't matter. My point still stands. If the TV market is flooded with more football games than people can't watch they will lose value. At some point the bowl sponsors will lose money because there aren't enough people watching the games on TV. Of the 40 bowl games that will be available I will only be able to watch 6, maybe 7 of them. I can't be the only CFB fan in that department.
Where does the money come from, ultimately? Selling tickets. TV revenue. Those would probably be the top 2.
TV revenue is #1. Selling tickets is a distant #2.
Aren't the ADs the representatives for the individual schools? Like, Whit Babcock is VT's AD. Right?
C'mon man that is behind the pay wall don't do that.
Confirmed list on 247:
Jmmie Taylor
Keith Simms
Caleb Evans
Demetri Moore (JUCO)
Cedrick Wilson (JUCO)
Jerod Evans (JUCO)
What?? Beatty literally hasn't done a thing recruiting in the 757 for UVA or any other team for that matter. Not only did he arrive in the spring, but none of this targets this year are 757 either.
Chip West is the 757 monster that needs to be gone.

Screw the ACC. No one can leave so now we'll have power hungry bureaucrats telling schools and athletes what they can and can't do. The ADs should stop their collective ball licking while back stroking, and leave this up to the individual schools.
If kids start to view bowls as a way to get a way and have a vacation, how will the ACC pitch this to a potential recruit? Oh, yeah, the ACC won't be there for that.
If a school could make a bunch of money and make their alumni base happy by playing in the Inaugural Machu Picchu Bowl, how will the ACC pitch this to their alumni base? Oh, yeah, the ACC won't be there for that.
Decision making rights should absolutely be left to the schools and stripped from the ACC, except where absolutely necessary. Anything Swofford wants to delegate to his son excepted.
I disagree, those helmets from the UVA game are throwbacks, and good ones at that. Chrome and whatever is nice, but everyone, even high schoolers dig throwbacks. Plus ours pop, whether you're at the game or watching on TV. The all maroon ones we've worn for years are dull and the don't grab anyone's attention. Adding that white facemask with the stripes I think is a unique enough look and could become very recognizable if paired with the right jerseys. Of course there should be some variety for certain games, maybe a fighting gobbler or TV logo thrown in every once in a while. I think the Hokie Stone should be worn once a year, who cares what everyone outside of us thinks, those helmets speak to Hokies everywhere.
Just don't say Russell. It's not pretty.

I hate that average seasons get rewarded, but what's wrong with more football? Even crappy bowls pay each school a lot of money. I don't see a problem with letting some company pay two 6-6 teams to come play. It's not downplaying the teams who had good records. Want to go to a better bowl? Get a better record. Having a team go to a bowl is good for everyone involved. It doesn't hurt anything.
Ironically, the Mountain West (along with Conference USA) partnered in creating the bowl
I think it was more that we didnt know what was going on with Dickey.
I think that's certainly more plausible than what I proposed but are we saying that Burden's recruiting connections are the only real catalyst to him being retained? Along these lines does Burden have any formal experience with RB's or is the thought process simply that he should know the position well enough given his current experience?
Even with 6 wins no other school has a bowl streak within what 5 games of VT. Clearly it's not as easy as many people would have us believe it is to get to bowl games year after year.
I doubt it, Maryland has a killer recruiting staff. I expect we lose out on many recruits the next 2-3 years to them before recruits get tired of losing. I do think scott and wiggins are going to kill it
It doesn't, the schools are not happy, the conference isn't happy.
I've known Mitch, that sportscaster, since elementary school. He was our QB at Freeman when we were upperclassmen. Funny thing is he rooted for FSU in our K-12 years, but went to Da U.

# | Report: Zohn Burden Retained as Virginia Tech's Running Backs Coach I bet he wanted to keep Wiggins at WR because it requires a more sophisticated understanding of the offense than being the RB coach.
1. sub title sponsors...more money for fewer bowls means same payout at end of the day for everything
2. allow everyone to practice
3. see #2. If not happy, win more games.
I kinda sorta addressed points 1 and 3 here.
Nothing wrong with point 2, IMO
What they have done to basketball uniforms this year is a crime
Let me rephrase. The perfect Mike of the future. I'm perfectly fine with redshirt sophomore Simms sliding into the role after Motu graduates.

# | ACC ADs vote to make 7 wins the minimum for bowl eligibility I agree that sending .500 or sub .500 teams to bowls is silly and there may be too many bowls, but bowls =
1) More money
2)More practice
3)More football
If anyone can make a valid argument against any of those, I wanna hear it.
Seriously, the only bowls that view as a reward for being good are the new years 6.
