"There are some playing-partner scheduling that simply don't need to be maintained," Gross wrote. "In fact I believe it would be in the best interest to prioritize playing multiple members of the conference over having a playing partner.

"I do understand creating rivalry inventory; however, it may be better to be more creative with the rivalry concept annually than to force them over the long term."

Some of the protected rivalries do seem unnecessary/irrelevant. I like the direction this could be heading.

In your example, yes VT can be punished for your actions as a booster. The idea is that the NCAA is punishing you by punishing the team you like. The schools have agreed to this arrangement because they don't like boosters interfering with recruiting either. In court VT wouldn't have much of a case because they agreed to the bylaws like every other NCAA member institution.

You certainly have a right to speak to recruits, and the NCAA and it's member institutions have the right to dole out & accept punishments for your actions as they see fit according to their bylaws...

Wouldn't know about the flavor, its usually my Hokie in someone else's mouth

Not judging your style. To each his own. But taste em all champ, it is a good recruit pull.

Brady Taylor welcomed him to Hokie Nation on twitter, more good news considering some people thought he might of switched his pledge to OSU.

You sure about that because it sure looked like Alabama played a team full of Lennay Kekua clones.

Marshawn Williams: 7 broken tackles/carry.

But for Marshawn, all I can find is that he amassed 2192 yds and 30 TDs this season. I'm certain his YPC was at least decent.

This isn't the Battle of Gettysburg. If Frank goes down during a game, the offensive plays still come from the booth and the defensive plays still get growled in from the sideline from Foster. The only thing that someone would need to step in for Frank would be to make ill -timed fake punt decisions in bowl games (Yep, still not happy about the Sugar Bowl).
