I was the 4th kid in my family to start at tech. My oldest sister transferred to LOLUVa once she figured out she wanted to double major in drama and English. This was back in the early 90s. Can't really fault her for that. No idea how we stack up in those departments now, but back then it was pretty weak. Funny story: this came up when talking to the crazy cat lady at work my first week. Only to find out that she got those degrees from Tech in the early 90s...awkward.

So yeah, LOLUVa can have their dominance in drama and English, but to those people who go there for engineering or to play football, I shake my head at you in disapproval.

Maybe a hardship waiver since he is moving to such a shitty football team? Then again, he could have stayed in state and transferred to UVa if that was the case (and the ACC waived the 2-year in-conference transfer rule).

It's not a conference rule, it's an NCAA rule. It's one thing to be suspended from an athletic team and transfer while still in good standing with the school overall. That's where the SEC has been pretty lenient in the past.. accepting troubled transfers who weren't sanctioned by the academic side of the house. (They recently toughened up their rules a bit though, see the other post in this thread)

Reavis being kicked out by the student conduct council puts him in the "not in good standing" category that is subject to NCAA sanction, nothing a conference can do about it.

SEC's new transfer rules.

The SEC passed a new rule Friday preventing transfers from entering the conference who were previously disciplined by a different school due to "serious misconduct."The SEC defined "serious misconduct" as sexual assault, domestic violence or other forms of sexual violence. The rule excludes banning transfers if at a previous school the player had "limited discipline applied by a sports team, or temporary disciplinary action during an investigation."

So technically speaking CJ could go to an SEC school, however they're loaded with incoming kids for the fall. Summer was the worst time for CJ to get kicked out as all schools have their spots filled.

And yet sadly, he might be in good academic standing as this occurred over a summer session.

DBU nailed it

just what you said the school kicked him out, he didn't leave on his own.. so sadly his academic standing/portfolio or whatever VT calls is marked with that.

Most schools when an athlete is trying to transfers takes into account on how his academic/student athlete standing is.. a suspension/being kicked out of a school is a no go for a ton of schools.

The NCAA consider getting expelled by a conduct board to be "leaving a school while not in good standing" which means you're not eligible for a Division 1 scholarship the next year, nor are you eligible to participate in Division 1 athletics the next year. So Reavis could either pay his own way to attend ODU and sit out the year, or go JUCO and continue playing and build a name for himself and be recruited as JUCO transfer for the 2016 season. He would have 3 years to play 2 for whichever school he transfers to in 2016.

Good point. Keihn still has to sit out a year for transferring, but he can do so on scholarship.

Hey, speaking of old movies in color, did you all know we nearly had a movie star for a coach?

He just couldn't get his lines to come out like he expected.

I'll rephrase it to mean what I was thinking and not what I wrote. We don't see a well executed HUNH offense as often as we see more traditional schemes

If you burn a redshirt, you'd better have a good reason for it. "Getting more experience" is a contradiction here, because you are throwing a year of practice out window on the off chance that he leaves for the NFL in 3 years.
