Unless coaches aren't paid like faculty, it's a legal challenge -- daveinop 09/18/2021 07:14AM
Didn’t the Supreme Court decide unanimously we’re going to pay them? -- Stech 09/18/2021 05:24AM
Alston addressed payment for education-related benefits -- daveinop 09/18/2021 07:02AM
Yeah my concern is they left it up to each state to define…what could -- Stech 09/18/2021 08:04AM
Eliminate fed tax exempt status for schools paying coaches more than their -- daveinop 09/19/2021 09:17AM
Feds should eliminate tax exempt status for universities period ** -- CrystalCoveHokie 09/19/2021 09:31AM
Virginia Tech blew it in 1953!!! Let’s not blow it in 2023 like we did then ** -- Stech 09/17/2021 7:02PM
They thought academics was more important than athletics -- EDGEMAN 09/17/2021 8:59PM
They are mutually exclusive - college sports and academics ** -- 133193Hokie 09/18/2021 08:14AM
In retrospect, they were wrong. ** -- tarheelblue 09/17/2021 9:44PM
Yep, no reason you can’t reach for the top in both. -- Stech 09/18/2021 05:13AM
If VT's leadership hadn't been so focused on academics, we would have... -- EDGEMAN 09/18/2021 08:08AM
I agree on all points you made, my biggest concern is SEC $$ versus ACC $. -- Stech 09/18/2021 08:59AM
I think it depends on the math -- HokieAl 09/17/2021 5:02PM
Yes, the impact would be massive on communities. South Bend would suffer -- goldendomer 09/17/2021 5:06PM
See my list further down the string. Who you have going each way? -- 133193Hokie 09/17/2021 4:48PM
OSU fans will want the semi-pro model, the admin not as much -- goldendomer 09/17/2021 4:54PM
OK - if I am college football king for a day - here is what I would do -- 133193Hokie 09/17/2021 5:36PM
The semi-pro league should send the NFL a bill every year -- EDGEMAN 09/18/2021 08:12AM
They will all still be "ameteurs" -- 33laszlo99 09/17/2021 4:10PM
I appreciate your ideas. But this will require movement by leaders -- goldendomer 09/17/2021 4:19PM
It would need to be a single entity. Basically one conference and leader -- HokieAl 09/17/2021 4:53PM
With no more than a few dozen schools, the organization can be flexible and -- 33laszlo99 09/17/2021 5:00PM
Oops... -- 33laszlo99 09/17/2021 4:52PM
Hundreds of college sports teams compete every day without being members of ** -- 33laszlo99 09/17/2021 4:51PM
I hope there is a breakaway and soon. But the way they (presidents) move is -- goldendomer 09/17/2021 5:01PM
Could happen any time... -- 33laszlo99 09/17/2021 5:50PM
I hope the conferences prepared. I doubt the ACC with the void of -- goldendomer 09/17/2021 5:53PM
The "amateur" schools will became as relevant as Ivy League football. ** -- tarheelblue 09/17/2021 4:03PM
Yep and those 65k stadiums will be half full along with the -- 133193Hokie 09/17/2021 4:39PM
Carve out some stadium seats for a soccer field. ** -- IB4TECH 09/17/2021 5:13PM
They would... ND stadium would just be used for concerts and graduation ** -- goldendomer 09/17/2021 4:51PM
Agreed. but I can see schools opt for this model. ** -- goldendomer 09/17/2021 4:20PM
Oh I can too. Like I was implying, the Ivy League did that exact thing. -- tarheelblue 09/17/2021 5:13PM
Ironically Virginia Tech and WVU were against Bowls, so no ACC in 1953! -- Stech 09/17/2021 6:59PM
It may depend on whether the split occurs just in DI-FBS football -- VTHokie2000 09/17/2021 3:58PM
Think you're right about the upcoming split. Unsure about Tech's course -- Hokie Fiji 09/17/2021 3:28PM
It is a big issue. But I see no way that it does not happen -- goldendomer 09/17/2021 3:32PM
My view is that we will lose a portion of our fan base either way -- Hokie Fiji 09/17/2021 3:44PM
Yeah, the pay for play I would bow out quick. I have no issue with NIL -- goldendomer 09/17/2021 3:49PM
It could become a major issue debated nightly on national news. -- OrlandoHokie 09/17/2021 3:26PM
VT will go amature as well, I can see the following though -- 133193Hokie 09/17/2021 3:12PM
I think this prediction will have some legs -- Hokie Fiji 09/17/2021 4:00PM
Yes, the paying of players directly ** -- goldendomer 09/17/2021 3:28PM
