How did a school that is as smart with money as NC State agree to go to Brazil without confirming what their pay day would be. The logistics of shipping all their equipment alone would probably have been close to 6 figures.

I can easily see LOLUVA making that mistake based on some of their other bone headed maneuvers.

Alum: This hits hard. Very sorry for your family to lose a pup. As said, we don't deserve them - they are our best friends for their entire life - and they make sure we know it.

I wonder if fans that already booked travel have any recourse or ability to sue the teams or promotors over the game being cancelled. Guessing no. There probably is some language in there about people are responsible for all costs incurred if, blah, blah, blah. Refund for the tickets to the game, maybe, but not flights and hotels and whatnot.

Yes, I'd be royally pissed if I was one of the dozens of UVa fans that booked the trip. Sure there are other activities they can do there, but still, this is really obnoxious to cancel that way.

Obligatory:

Not sure what you asked grok but of draft eligible qbs that won MVP more than 65% ended up drafted...that's a pretty significant hit rate considering the average 4* draft rate is like 20-40%.

Draft rate is definitely a hard number to track.

I do agree that the middle and bottom of the Elite 11 are just going to have the same hit rate as a typical 4* QB but finishing 2nd is likely a better than average indicator

True, but those odds would still be a significant upgrade at VT.

In the last 25 years, VT has sent only 3 QB's to the NFL via straight draft;
MV 2001 (#1 pick), Tyrod 2011 (6th round pick #180), LT 2014 (4th round, pick #120)
(And LT didnt really do much as a QB, need i say. And I dont feel counting Hendon to VT is really fair, sigh....)

So, a 50% hit rate would be a huge improvement.
