The article contradicts itself in order to try to make a point. How is it that the ratings have remained consistent, yet the recent mediocrity is due to losing high profile players?

The mediocrity has little to due with losing 1 or 2 high profile players...it mostly has to do with whiffing in 2011 & 2012 with the classes that the recruiting services rated as normal for VT. And that was compounded by the injury bug that mostly eluded VT for many years being particularly bad at key positions and/or key players the last 3 years. But those things don't make for good copy.

I do not think Fuente could get rid of Gentry on his own, but he could request Whit make a change if he felt it was warranted, and my gut says that Whit would oblige a request from his newest and highest paid employee. I believe you are correct that Gentry's purview extends beyond football, but he is still heavily involved in football since it is the biggest sport. He is on the sidelines for games and travels with the team to away games.

or Memphis's - when it's a singular noun, can do it either way.

Agreed. I suspected something was up when Hamilton played so little and was pulled so quickly when it seemed like we really could've used his presence vs Northwestern.

Glad Pierce stayed prepared and looked ready to go. Hamilton blocked a lot of shots in limited minutes hopefully Henry can give us some of that in the meantime.

Atlantic is making some good hires too Syracuse got Dino Babers today and I do believe we play them next year. He was the coach at Bowling Green who won against Northern Illinois yesterday to win the MAC conference championship.
