Lol at "busch" league. A cursory Google search returned one entry that said

Bush league is for amateur players, Busch league is for drunk dads who are reliving their high school glory days.

I expected Pry to be involved in some capacity, but I would've much more preferred a smaller off-field role. In 2-4 years then I would've welcomed him as DC. I think this is too soon, but Franklin is one of the most successful coaches in the country and fingers crossed wouldn't do this if he thought it was a massive risk. However there could be some rose tinted glasses on Franklin's nose. I'm firmly convinced Pry is a good DC and a bad HC, so if the baggage isn't as big as we believe this could work.

Big question is which players quit on him? Was it the guys he recruited out of high school or the portal players? Was it just upperclassmen or underclassmen too? Those are big questions we don't know the answers to.

But hiring him from the DC at Penn State vs. hiring him from the HC at VT are two very different things. From DC at PSU he doesn't have all the baggage of losing games, relationships with current players that may have soured, and a staff that underperformed. There's also questions about his Good Ol' Boys connections with Ballein et al.

I get that but I don't think either of these two gentlemen fall under this category. I think there is a total respect for each other and one where taking things for granted isn't tolerated. Franklin won't allow it.

Pry is a known commodity needing zero time to become acclimated to the VT nuances. I believe Franklin will hold Pry to the utmost accountability as Pry is the one "hire" who can literally hit the ground running. Franklin's position, there are no excuses and expects results.

Penn State admitted they under funded Franklin with the money they're throwing out there for Campbell. We were grossly underfunded. No one would have been successful with our prior funding levels in the money talks bullshit walks NIL/Portal era.

Pry is a proven DC. VT has brought in the funds to improve and be competitive. Pry should be able to translate that with a more "siloed"/foucused role as DC vs HC.

You're correct, but the fact that the punishment didn't affect BYU's eligibility doesn't take away from the fact that they were punished.

If they get an auto-bid for ranking then every single conference champion should get an auto-bid regardless of ranking

With Pry being free we should be able to outbid anyone

I want eight 9 team conferences so you play everyone, still geographically aligned. but you play your conference. If we must have playoffs then 8 auto bids andc8 next highest rated where ratings are computer based. I could be talked into throwing a G5 in there

If we want him we're going to have to beat out Ole Miss, USCe, or possibly GT.

Big fan of JDB. Fun offense to watch.

Just make offense fun plz. I've been going to VT games since 2008 and I've watched at most 2 total fun offenses (2016, half of 2019, half of 2023).

I could totally get onboard with that too. But my hope is that the teams not invited into the conferences would at least have a chance. Why I wanted 8. Someone above had it with 8 division winners making it, and I could get on board with that too. Then you could cover any remotely decent team. And if ND does not want to join a conference, then they are just screwed.
