Yes but where will Franklin live now that the VT HC house won't go on the market? /s

Someone dig up those Wild Turkey and Smithfield concept uniforms.

But seriously, this will be a way to gauge where VT football stands. If we have a nationally recognized sponsor or a local one. I already judge our basketball program based on the facts that our courtside banner ads are small time companies and those at SMU were nationally recognized brands

I don't think I've had a single Kenji recipe that I haven't liked. So many on Serious Eats that are amazing. Some of my favorite (just google Kenji + recipe name to find the recipe):

- Halal chicken and rice
- Baked ziti (I add a pack of Italian sausage boiled and cut into half moons)
- Beef barbacoa
- Black bean burgers
- Carnitas
- Chicken scarpariello
- "the best chili ever" (I usually use ground beef or turkey)
- Crispy braised chicken thighs
- Gyudon
- Jerk chicken

To name a few :)

And if the schools won't stop it, because greed, the conferences should be able to put a halt to things to protect their overall investments and the other member institutions. The $EC should be hopping and the other schools should be filing something right this minute.

I'm in the boat of putting 95% of the blame for these things on the school. Alabama should not be doing this. They are the ultimate ones with agency in this situation and decided to try to get this guy on their team.

Same with Miami and the Duke QB. Its ultimately the greed/ambition of the schools with no sense of adherence to any standard or rules that have taken us to where we are

Not entirely disagreeing with you, but the NCAA has also buried its head in the sand through all of this. They were against NIL until they lost in court and they had no contingency plan ready for how to handle it. Had they seen the writing on the wall and put up guardrails ahead of time, we are likely in a different place. Now they've lost all control and it's going to be hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Reform is needed and like it or not, the NCAA is going to have to be a part of that. They desperately need some competent leadership to shape a strategy for that reform to take place and be enforceable. Unfortunately, they are currently just throwing their hands up and saying, "See we told you this would happen!" The current strategy players are using is getting a TRO and daring the NCAA to use their resources to fight it further, which they just don't seem all that interested in doing.

There is (was?) a middle ground between NCAA suspends player for getting a free meal or selling his/her Autograph and a complete free-for-all with Professional athletes returning to college to make a quick buck.

We blew through that long ago.

I don't want to see professionals playing college sports...and judging by the empty stands and TV ratings for the NBDL and UFL, very few others do either.

Every Charles Bediako and James Nnaji is taking a scholarship spot from an 18 year-old somewhere who would otherwise have an opportunity. This isn't creating more for college athletes, its just taking from one and giving to another (some of whom already had their opportunity).

Again...We Have Lost The Plot.

The forecast for Richmond is just getting worse and worse with each update. Currently looking at 0.5" to 1" of ice. Going to stay with the in-laws this weekend since they have a gas stove and a gas fireplace. So at least we can cook hot food and have some form of heat.

I'm supposed to drive down to a work conference in ATL Tuesday with some coworkers...we will see about that.

Stay safe and warm everyone! At least the FIL has an outstanding bourbon selection!

I give them credit for not shying away from the Pry hire as DC. They both addressed it and made their case, hopefully it works out on the field. Franklin can certainly sell, come Fall it will be time to produce.

That's an old school "athletic performance" 'stache at the end there.
