Inside scoop as an athletic academic advisor speaking.. this is nothing new, expect more and more to be reported on this stuff by schools. We have a similar process going on where I work, might not be out for the media to see but its in every handbook the athlete signs once he/she gets on campus.
If a athlete misses tutoring.. that athlete better be ready to pay for that.
Misses breakfeast -> it's free food wtf are you doing
Misses Treatment-> not only are you hurting yourself you're wasting the trainer/therapists time
Acts a fool in study hall-> biggest & easiest way to screw yourself.. babysitting will not happen here
In regards to equipment its more like sponsored by nike.. better not see you wearing adidas cleats on the practice field or better not see you black out the nike logo so you're cleats are all black.. #BrandAwareness matters.. Want a sleeveless nike dri fit don't cut the long sleeved one , ask for a short sleeved one-> it will be provided.
People are making this out to be a big deal.
It hasn't been 24 hours and it already feels like beating a dead horse
Man, Dave got SO mad at me when I posted the amount on FB right after we found out how much we'd get for the Sugar Bowl
This is a real bad look.
How this wasn't shut down a while ago, how no VT lawyer realized this goes against NCAA rules etc. is beyond me.
Yeah, neither Alabama and Oregon sold out to stop the run. I think if either team could replay those games, they'd be more focused on making OSU one dimensional.
Nowhere does it say that these fines are from COA or bowl money. But both are allowed it seems. Sure, it's a negative, but every program has a discipline structure. Besides, these players receive a lot of money for the bowl games. Trust me. Being in the MVs, we received a ton of money for the bowl games. I remember getting $400 for a trip to the Sugar Bowl. I can only imagine how much they get considering how long the trip is for them, even though they have nearly all meals planned for them. Let's all calm down alright?
None of these things exist anymore as of last night, so yeah..It's a PR scandal not a legal one.
I don't really feel like what Marcus has done is as controversial or widely criticized as the dogfighting. Most of his crimes are pretty ugly, to be sure, but I hope to someday see him pull his life back together and make something of himself.
Wow, just wow. Even knowing it probably took a couple of takes that is a heck of a shot.
This probably ensures that Bud isn't going anywhere for a while now. SCANDAL! Sarcasm or whatever.
It was a screw up.
I think I speak for all of us when I say we have no idea what you're talking about...
my bad, I didn't click through to the actual site, I just looked at the first level, top 50 one.
That adds a lot of fuel to the fire for this story. Fines for mismatched equipment/unsportsmanlike will be scrutinized pretty harshly nationwide. I don't understand why this was posted anywhere that a nonteam individual could see it.
this man does not have enough turkey legs. Everyone go upvote all his previous comments. Love me some papa mook
seriously wish all our recruits were like mook was and all their folks were like jreynolds06
They do list an "Approximate Value," but I think that is only for individual players and not grouped as schools. I don't want to learn how they arrive at this number, but if anyone is curious, the details are here
Bruce Smith is listed at 6th all time (since 1950) with an AV of 223.
Mike Vick comes up 24th out of active players with an AV of 111.
It's probably not surprising to anyone that Peyton Manning is the leader of both lists with an AV of 269.

# | Bitter blog - Babcock offers clarification on player fines, shuts down entire practice Lost interest after your fourth fuck. You do go on and on, huh? What were you talking about?
I always love it when you pop in.
Ooh, yes, I figured out how to get almost entirely across the academic side of campus while staying indoors. Some buildings butt up against each other, there are a number of above-ground walkways, and there's at least one underground tunnel.
Hell as the father of a player, i must be missing something! So, if the kids do what they are supposed to do, whats the problem?
Yeah, but logic doesn't go over very well on sites like Deadspin...
Hell as the father of a player.... jreynolds06
you're partially right, it should be a 55.9% chance. Gosh

Bud is a genius. He's going to start designing clothes to fit freak athletes. Well player, Bud, well played.
I'm currently eating a turkey sub at Sub Station II while reading TKP. That counts, right?
Not inaccurate if the statement is "chance of an 8 or 9 win season." You're correct for the "at least 8, 9, or 10 win" scenarios, but for the possibility of an 8 or 9 win, add percentage of 8 win and percentage of 9 win, and that's the likelihood of one of those two happening.
Dogfighting is terrible BUT at least Mike paid his time and IMO is a changed man. Marcus has been given every opportunity to change and make something of himself and either can't or won't.
I'm not proud of what Mike did but I believe he came out a stronger and better person. Therefore I still have some pride in him being from VT. I would, however, relish the opportunity to wipe Marcus' association with the program and the university off the face of the Earth.
