Leaving when you're uncomfortable is certainly free will -- WildTurkE 04/15/2021 10:42AM

I agree with this post ... -- VPI63 04/16/2021 2:29PM

If Dave Odom were as loyal as he wants athletes to be... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 11:02AM

Do you think the current way, that Dave doesn't like -- VTCALS72 04/15/2021 12:41PM

The current way in what aspect? Just from a transfer portal standpoint? -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 1:13PM

Just from the transfer portal -- VTCALS72 04/15/2021 4:27PM

Yep. Nobody complains about "disloyal" assistant coaches -- VT94 04/15/2021 11:29AM

While recognizing a players right to transfer, comparing players to coaches -- VT One 04/15/2021 1:04PM

Years ago.... -- 2hhoop3 04/15/2021 1:24PM

As I said, let the players transfer. I just don’t find any comparison to -- VT One 04/15/2021 1:28PM

I agree, the situations aren’t the same...... -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/15/2021 1:35PM

Your choice of words..... -- 2hhoop3 04/15/2021 1:35PM

Valid point. There are still rules for academics and eligibility, though. -- VT One 04/15/2021 7:40PM

I do not disagree.... -- 2hhoop3 04/15/2021 8:44PM

There are, by a very large percentage, more Bede’s playing college -- VT One 04/15/2021 10:43PM

You are correct.. -- 2hhoop3 04/16/2021 10:29AM

Not ridiculous at all. Unless you look at players as indentured servants... ** -- NokieHokie 04/15/2021 1:17PM

I look at players as student athletes and coaches as business professionals ** -- VT One 04/15/2021 1:25PM

And students can transfer schools any time they want. Why should it be any -- NokieHokie 04/15/2021 1:26PM

The money involved students pay athletes get paid ** -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 3:47PM

Huh? ** -- NokieHokie 04/15/2021 4:01PM

My first sentence said that I recognize the players right to transfer. I -- VT One 04/15/2021 1:34PM

And I think it can be. Coaches preach the loyalty from players they don't -- NokieHokie 04/15/2021 1:41PM

I don’t think you have ever bought one of my arguments. We just disagree. -- VT One 04/15/2021 2:57PM

Yes, we agree to disagree quite a bit. :) ** -- NokieHokie 04/15/2021 3:00PM

Dave Odom - former two sport NCAA D3 athlete -- kingofcassell 04/15/2021 11:27AM

I think we should restrict Coach movement ** -- GreenvilleVT 04/15/2021 08:49AM

Mike Young says hello Buzz wasn’t an athlete ** -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 1:01PM

I am thankful for Mike Young. My sarcasm is around -- GreenvilleVT 04/15/2021 1:37PM

I don’t think that’s the issue ** -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 1:40PM

I agree. But Odom is a former coach. -- GreenvilleVT 04/15/2021 4:17PM

I think coaches should be like everyone else -- Gobbler Guru 04/15/2021 10:24AM

Especially football 😟 ** -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 3:49PM

Just you wait. It's about to change again -- Beerman 04/15/2021 08:28AM

Whoa, here's a not-so-little fact I didn't know. -- Will Stewart

04/15/2021 11:14AM

Men's ice hockey is out of control. ** -- Chris Coleman

04/15/2021 11:53AM

I heard boosters were giving free dental implants to entice transfers! :) ** -- NokieHokie 04/15/2021 11:59AM

You will need them in that sport. No one cares about ice hockey down in -- FLKEYSHOKIE 04/15/2021 4:36PM

Yep, here's another fun fact... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 11:39AM

Not comparable. Potential future $$ is not a factor in other sports -- marcbvtgm 04/15/2021 5:13PM

Yes, I do...to both -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 5:19PM

I think the caveat to that was the thought... -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/15/2021 11:43AM

That was illegal before the one-time transfer rule... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 11:51AM

And the shoe companies up there with the boosters ** -- Maroon Effect 04/15/2021 12:29PM

I think you're (intentionally) blurring the argument here. I don't think -- GusDaMan 04/15/2021 12:08PM

If that were the case then youd see a more concerted effort... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 12:28PM

To more directly answer your question, I don't see the NCAA doing much (if -- GusDaMan 04/15/2021 1:24PM

A rule on whether transfers have to sit out... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 1:40PM

So you honestly don't think having to sit out a year would make a player -- GusDaMan 04/15/2021 1:46PM

Yes, I honestly think that... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 2:34PM

Well then, thats a fundamental disagreement that makes further discussion -- GusDaMan 04/15/2021 2:48PM

I would argue that the passage of this rule very likely moves the line of -- GusDaMan 04/15/2021 1:08PM

If that were the case, grad transfers would be getting big payments... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 1:38PM

But that's 1 year of eligibility, which to me is a completely different -- GusDaMan 04/15/2021 1:43PM

There are many grad transfers every year... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 1:45PM

Naturally -- Beerman 04/15/2021 11:44AM

Revenue sports. We’ll see any revenue effects -- Colonel Jessup 04/15/2021 11:26AM

Revenue sports. We’ll see any revenue effects -- Colonel Jessup 04/15/2021 11:22AM

Just happened late yesterday... -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/15/2021 11:16AM

No he’s talking about sports like softball for instance not having the sit -- hokiepro 04/15/2021 11:25AM

Oh. I didn't realize that either. Learned something new today ** -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/15/2021 11:27AM

I think that is reasonable ** -- stat_hokie 04/15/2021 08:41AM

I think it's eminently reasonable -- Beerman 04/15/2021 09:12AM

Absolutely agree... -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/15/2021 10:34AM

Good ** -- LonghornHokie 04/15/2021 05:04AM

It is what it is ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 04/15/2021 03:43AM

I'm shocked, shocked... -- vtbball80 04/14/2021 9:16PM

Age has NOTHING to do w it... -- ombandit 04/15/2021 07:38AM

My point was not about age. Coaches are.... -- vtbball80 04/15/2021 10:28AM

Mutts is playing for his third college team. Justice Reed played for 3 -- st_andrew 04/15/2021 10:17AM

They care...as long as its someone else doing it -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 11:04AM

I tell you what I'm shocked at -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/14/2021 9:22PM

My point was not about age. Most coaches are... -- vtbball80 04/14/2021 10:38PM

Great point. Hadn't looked at it that way.... ** -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/14/2021 10:39PM

I probably should have said ex-coach -- vtbball80 04/15/2021 10:30AM

That headline again..."100 year old coach not in favor of new things" ** -- GCHokie34 04/14/2021 8:09PM

So when do we get to in-season transfers? -- Vippie1 04/15/2021 09:04AM

Judging by history... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 10:30AM

How about Experienced Coach & Father opines on the Portal -- hokiewasp 04/14/2021 8:46PM

Jim Boeheim eats his own boogers... -- GCHokie34 04/14/2021 9:59PM

Hey, it's better than eating someone else's boogers ** -- Hokie622 04/15/2021 3:45PM

Jim is a nasty bastard ** -- stat_hokie 04/15/2021 08:42AM

Maybe with age come more "hipocrisy"?- not sure what that is however -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 01:38AM

That very quote completely misses that Dave Odom... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 02:36AM

Coaches are not allowed to change jobs? -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/15/2021 10:42AM

Coaches are allowed to change jobs... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 10:59AM

Fair enough... -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/15/2021 11:06AM

And Im sure... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 11:12AM

That's the point... It happens everywhere, so start demonizing the players! ** -- NokieHokie 04/15/2021 11:08AM

Let's not paint everybody who is old with the same brush -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/14/2021 10:10PM

That was the point of my post... -- GCHokie34 04/14/2021 10:23PM

Think Cause & Effect- Odom makes an insightful observation -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 01:45AM

Dave Odom left ECU for UVA. UVA for Wake. Wake for USC -- JMuff114 04/14/2021 9:36PM

Equilibrating promotion in career to the portal is not wise -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 01:31AM

So getting to play in the ACC wasn't a step up for Justyn Mutts? ** -- SteveInBaltimore 04/15/2021 12:28PM

Odom’s point remains valid ** -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 12:43PM

What if these kids view changing schools to a higher level as a "promotion" -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 02:43AM

When We Age -- Jomonelson 04/15/2021 07:15AM

You are adding a variable that doesn’t always apply -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 07:08AM

Chris Beard left Texas Tech... Your example is as poor as your argument. ** -- HeisenBurg13 04/15/2021 07:49AM

Nice try Patrick Ewing is still at Gtown save your insults for accuracy ** -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 09:21AM

Mac leaving GTown is a result of a loss of trust in that relationship... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 10:35AM

Doesn’t that underscore Odom’s point ** -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 12:59PM

So you think its a good policy to poison your player's chances... -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 1:37PM

Once again I refer yiu to Odom’s point ** -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 1:39PM

Youre gonna need to point out what you think Odom's point is -- GCHokie34 04/15/2021 1:41PM

Odom’s Point is kids don’t want 2 work thru adversity it’s too easy 2 bol* -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 1:43PM

Seems to me.... -- 2hhoop3 04/15/2021 2:12PM

Couldn’t everyone use that excuse wrt playing time? -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 3:45PM

To me dissatisfaction with ..... -- 2hhoop3 04/15/2021 4:03PM

Well said ** -- hokiewasp 04/15/2021 4:23PM

I have no problem with the portal but..... -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/14/2021 8:59PM

Players choose schools mostly on the coach. It's not for the actual school. ** -- NokieHokie 04/14/2021 10:19PM

^^^More proof of my point^^^ ** -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/14/2021 10:32PM

That's the way it's been for a long time now. The veil is just lifted... ** -- NokieHokie 04/15/2021 08:04AM

Old Man Yells at Cloud ** -- VTECHFAN 04/14/2021 8:20PM

This old man? -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/14/2021 8:56PM

Now, now. He's only 78 :) ** -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/14/2021 8:13PM

Harrison Ford is doing a 5th Indiana Jones film at 78..... -- ChrisLords 04/15/2021 12:58AM

Good to know. I guess this means when I turn 65 next month, I'll be 17 :) ** -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/15/2021 11:13AM

Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your publication’s contribution -- millmtnhokie 04/14/2021 7:42PM

Thank you for saying that. Sometimes I feel like I'm imposing by posting -- AshburnFarmHokie 04/14/2021 7:47PM

Keep posting my man! ** -- IB4TECH 04/14/2021 9:49PM

Revenue sports. We’ll see any revenue effects
