Because everyone treats the Hokie Handbook like the iTunes User Agreement. "Yada, yada, yada...where do I sign?" It's all posted online; it may not specifically say "we can expel you," but the implication is pretty clear with "severe consequences for first-time offenses" in some instances.

I can take my medicine :)

FYI - I did a quick search on 11W for "Lane Stadium" to find these tOSU fans you speak of and found one guy (I said a quick search). His post was followed by someone correcting him and also a Hokie fan who was warmly welcome. (I didn't read all comments, but the one I'm referring to isn't that far down) Just so you don't think all tOSU fans are jerks:

I won't defend the Wake debacle too much, though we were pretty much trotting out the walking wounded by that point. The OL did fail pretty spectacularly all day, though. But if you're going to poke us with our record, I'll gladly remind you of bragging rights until such time that your guys manage to beat us. As they say, that's why they play the game.

I don't think most people did not think it existed, only that not many (including myself) knew the upper limit of what the SCC were capable of passing down punishment-wise. I certainly knew about the SCC and that they could hand out punishment, just not to what extent they could punish.

I also think there's a huge distinction between branding the playing surface and branding the building.

I'm totally cool with selling off the naming rights to the court, but I prefer they leave Cassell and Lane un-sponsored.

Eric is an old friend of mine. The English program is better there. The VT English department let me skip first semester with a 42% on my SAT 2 Writing (that's pretty sad).... I'll even admit UVA was an educational step up in that department

in all other respects...UVA sucks

"Tyrod Taylor only burned his redshirt(s) because of a horrendous pass blocking offensive line, and broken offense."

I can still hear the boobirds calling for Sean Glennon's head. I always thought he got a bad rap that year. He wasn't a very mobile QB and his offensive line gave him absolutely no time to execute. Druckenmiller wasn't mobile but look was he was able to accomplish with a line that protected him.

When I see what Glennon's brother has accomplished, it saddens me to think of what Sean might have done.

Well, it's one thing to simply buy naming rights. It's another to have a partnership, like VT and Cariilion have for the medical school that VT is rolling out and starting. This is slightly different, but not much differnt than Papa Johns Stadium at Louisville. If they bought the name at a school they weren't associate with, sure it's odd. But at least there is a huge partnership with the VTC School of Medicine.
