So, you want him to reveal what he was accused and convicted of by the student conduct committee. What does he possibly stand to gain from that, especially if he didn't do it? Right now he's just a kid that got possibly railroaded by the system. If he tells us what he was accused of, at least some people will believe he is guilty. It doesn't help him get back on the team. CJ gains nothing, while the fans have their curiosity satisfied. I don't blame him at all for not going public with the details.

All student conduct hearings are confidential unless released with the permission of the student involved or by court order, according to state laws.

Could this mean with permission of the accusing student as well? If so, he wouldn't be able to give any background.

If we beat * I am sure I will jump on just to be disappointed again at some point this year when we are going strong and then get killed by someone we have no business losing too, *sigh*

Especially since we already have a public-private partnership with Carilion for the med school and Research Institute. This is just reaffirming our partnership and getting some money out of that deal. Total win-win, I think. Building relationships between academia and corporate entities is the way things are moving, anyway. Best for VT to be on the leading edge of (or at least keeping up with) the trend.

We want to be the best in the ACC in all facets – that's our goal.

This. Whit is awesome.

On another note I saw a person on Linkedin who was all anti-corporate sponsorship bashing this. Because I'm sure he has a half a mil just waiting around to be spent. I don't know how this is not a good thing.

^true this, Poppa.
Kids live with blinders on and expect that their actions are secretive and therefore innoxious. Unfortunately experience at times is the only mechanism to widen their field of vision.
I try to show my kids examples of 'poor decision-->consequence' but trial and error was my personal schoolmarm.

some posters on other sites question the assertion that I made regarding the rover rotation and Donovan Riley

I agree with that. I think with something as severe as dismissal it would have to go to a higher official to be reviewed and approved. All other judgements they can do, whatever they are.....but kicking a kid out of school should be reviewed and approved at a higher level.

Not sure I like our chances that much, after 3 less than mediocre seasons and so many uncertainties on the OL, QB, WR, RB and LB corps (one injury to any of the starters and we are in trouble) I am not too bullish on this season. 8-4 or 9-3 seems the most realistic and that may not be enough to win the division...

Got to feel bad for the kid

I'd feel bad for him if it was something real minor

By all means lets hear it
