Fines like this exist in football (and other sports) programs all over the place. Scholarships come with conditions and in many cases it's explicitly noted in the paperwork that part of the scholarship / stipend / etc can be withheld for disciplinary reasons.
Talk about making a mountain of a molehill.
Ok.
That was as cool as something extremely cool.
I love the new multi-media presence.
I am beginning to feel that the Hokie Nation is about to take over the world.
This is absolutely terrible, and I bet a lot of y'all defending this would not be at all if this happened in OSU or UVa.
Penn State was NOT anything athletic that was hidden. It was criminal acts within the athletic department. How can you even begin to compare them? This is something done by many other schools and legal within NCAA legislation. There are huge differences.
I'm cool with it, as long as the script that gets flipped is the one that had the home team losing.
"Who the heck is UT?"
And MV5 was set to go there, family preference to stay in state kept Vick at VT
I'm impressed with the 55 million.
I'll do it for 50.
Not surprised by this whatsoever, BUT I still think 100% we see Jones on the field in some way shape or form before the first quarter is over...... if we allow their offense to have the ball of course!
This is false, though I understand where you're coming from.
First, ND will NEVER take a NY6 bowl away from the ACC. Our champion will always get the Orange, and if our champion makes the playoffs, the ACC will always have two NY6 bids. ND CANNOT take either of those away from us.
Second, John Swofford got ND to agree to revenue sharing, something ND did not have to do with the Big East. If ND bumps an ACC team from a lower bowl, we get our share of that bowl revenue just as if it were an ACC team playing in that bowl.
The actual details of the ACC's arrangement with ND are very much to the benefit of ACC member schools. We really aren't losing anything except for individual fanbases of also-ran programs being upset that MD bumped them down the totem pole. The objections to the agreement are more driven by emotion than economics.
The situation doesn't matter, PSU was an athletic event that the AD said he didn't know about, bu since he did he was forced out. Yea there are a lot of differences thats not what I'm comparing
How in Today's world do people continue to deny the littlest things til they blow up in the face all at the start it could have been avioded
I'm with you..."I'm an idea man"

"Note to self" haha. Gotta be of at least a certain age to enjoy, I guess...
Saw Michael Keaton in the Keys recently...funny to see some of his movie mannerisms are his true life personna.
Nice! 9 DAYS!!....9....Days.
There are record stipulations for ND to displace an ACC team for a lower tier bowl. I think it's that they can have up to one less win than the team they're displacing, but it might be up to two.
No, that's incorrect. ACC is guaranteed the Orange when it isn't hosting a playoff, and guaranteed another NY6 bowl in place of the Orange when it is hosting a playoff. ND's only access to the NY6 bowls is through at-large selection. They might be our opponent, but they cannot take our place at the table. This is a significantly better arrangement for the conference than what the Big East had.
Yes. Always. Think of it this way:
- The SEC and B1G get their automatic bids. (Up to four teams total if both conferences make the playoffs.)
- All remaining teams.from both conferences get dumped into a pool together along with ND.
- The highest ranked member of that pool will be the ACC's opponent in our NY6 bowl.
The confusing part is were dumping two conferences and an independent into our selection pool. Just remember, when picking our opponent, conference affiliation doesn't matter. Only ranking matters.
Ok, I'll bite.
Since the only part of the helmet we can see is at the bottom by the face mask and it appears to be maroon, that means it could possibly be the helmet that was revealed during the spring game:
However, since they already showed that one, this must be something new. I am going to dig back to a previous rumor and say maybe it is the helmet on the right here:
Whatever it is, please don't suck. I kinda liked that at last years game, OSU went all out with their pro combats and we rolled in with our standard whites and took care of business. Just feels like the script is being flipped here.
So was the rest of the Hoos' season.
Love the fact that our opponents fans don't think anything of us this year. Have a feeling a lot of people are going to be looking back on the season on New Years wondering where the hell we came from and how they didn't see it coming.
If you've ever been to an Air Force home game, this could be really cool and impresive. The AFA cadets all march on the field from a HUGE underground tunnel. After the falcon does its thing & the natl anthem, the cadets do a 4000 strong in unison about face & then charge the stands with a blood boiling battle howl. It's awesome to see from the stands next to their seats. Would be tuff to do that at bristol but having them on the field 1200 strong 4 our entrance n then do something in tight unison would be very cool. This should be a thing at all home games too.
With all due respect to Duke and Coach Cutcliffe, I hope we absolutely pound them this year. Even though we beat them last year, the 2013 game in Lane still stings.
someone needs to get the hort club to orchestrate some well meaning vandalism. If someone swapped out the hedges, how long do you think it would take for people to notice?
Just so you know, this is pretty much what people were saying about Wake Forest after they won the ACC. "Sure, they're losing some weapons, but they still have the coach that engineered this rise to prominence."
now I really want every hokie to get on board with orange effect and I want an aerial shot of the stadium for photographic evidence. Also, a scoreboard with 0:00 remaining and a higher number next to the VT than the OSU. And a pony.
