It was unethical and shady by any standard.


If there was no illegality, which I doubt was the case, it's only because there's so little legal precedent. Legislators simply haven't considered that a state institution could be operating in such shady way.

Anyhow, I'm pretty sure paying "amateur players" through coaches and attorneys, while publicly denying it to the tax payers, tax payers who are essentially footing the bill seems pretty rough. Also, paying state employees to teach classes they weren't really teaching in order for the school to perform better in athletics is quite questionable. Denying tuition paying students the education they've been paying for, or the tax payers have been paying for in many cases, is kinda bad. Then, there's the cover ups and the money transfers, which surely involved dozens of state employees.


Whateva. We've ALL made mistakes, I know I have, but what these guys have been up to, for decades now, is more than temporary lapses in judgement. And to make matters worse, they've made a habit at sticking their noses up at schools like WVU, and even VT.

Sorry, I'm done with those guys and everything they represent. Worst of all, their shenanigans have cost no program more than Virginia Tech Football IMO. They've also cost Virginia Tech Athletics tens of millions of dollars due to bizarre decisions.

I just don't get you guys on this board. EVERYBODY else I converse with, outside of the HOLE, is over it. I've been following this stuff for 15 years.
