That would be close to the old tradition of both Corps marching through Roanoke for the Hokies to play their Thanksgiving game. Ah, memory lane!
VMI will bus their Corps of Cadets to the game most likely. We could see two Corps do a pregame march on. Probably will have a military flyover of some sort. The pageantry would be missing from JMU.
Yeah, what kind of idiot did that
I disagree because of the fact that it's an all new staff, major player turnover, etc. Better to try and get them in tune to hopefully beat ODU before going into Maryland and ACC play
No, I believe it's a roster limit, with no lesser limit on scholarships. You can have up to 105 scholarships if you please, but can only have 105 on the roster.

Apparently it does.

I would've preferred that VMI had been the cancelled game. =^/
Don't think it warrants it's own thread but VT just announced they are canceling the JMU game on Sept 26th due to changes to the ACC schedule. That was going to be a home game. I'm guessing it'll be replaced by an ACC road game.
My understanding is there is no cap anymore. You can only have 105 on scholarship. The remaining 11 can be NIL to cover room, board, tuition, etc.
It is kinda weird to me basically we're not going to run the Penn State offense here....while keeping a bunch of the Penn State staff and QB?
I know "the numbers always work out", but we are at 116 right now with a cap at 105. Not sure when attrition needs to happen per the NCAA, but it needs to happen. Not sure how many more we can reasonably fit on the boat.
You can never have too much quality OL depth and I wouldn't mind some more WR options, but I feel like we're in decent shape in the RB room, even if it's not as deep as the old CJF would've liked.
I like this Sekrah guy.

So much for all the defense staying with the old coach. That said, I would love to see some more OL, WR, and RB flips.
Remember when almost everybody graduated in 4 years. Kids today graduate in 3 or less with enough AP credits coming in.
Its just getting ridiculous at this point. (In a good way for once.)
James Franklin making this look easy
Everyone should listen to this.
What is his battery percentage? We must know before deciding whether or not to be happy this.
How about just make it an age limit? You don't allow 21-year-olds in the Little League World Series against 12-year-olds. Say you cannot compete in college sports if you are above age 24 or 25 or whatever cutoff and claim it is about safety of making 17- or 18-year-olds who are still maturing from being with people way older. The specific argument about safety may be made up, but so what? You can grandfather (no pun intended) the current players that are already over whatever you set the cutoff at and just make it apply to new people coming in.
Some of the BYU students who go on mission will lose out and someone who went into the military and comes back to school will too. But it's better than what it is now. And I fully expect the 5-year maximum - which I agree is an excellent solution and should be done - will get thrown out by some idiot judge as soon as the next player over the age lawyers up and sues.
Joe, I want to state for the record that I'm not the one that said this (though I was thinking it).
This is my understanding as well.
