That's hard to believe...don't they know any god attorney's. How do you

promote a trip to a foreign country for a football game without a signed contract. That can't be correct.

Seems like a good strategy to stretch NIL money and avoid bidding wars.

It's not about just recruiting talent. For us it's also about recruiting the best talent for the buck.

Agreed, I would have left VT at anytime if somebody threw 1/2 as much at me

The players haven't changed...the fans haven't changed...the game hasn't changed....the concept of amateur athletics has changed.

I miss the days when we had student athletes that stayed and developed for

their college careers while they matriculated academically and prepared for the real world. As a fan you knew your team and felt connected. That connection lasted the rest of your life. Gurdak would have been that type of player you loved seeing develop. But...that **** is dead. It's "All about the Benjamins".

A portal with no limits takes from the top and bottom simultaneously.

Your best players portal for better $$$, or competition, or better chance for championships, etc. Your players that are struggling to develop, or find minutes and are too impatient to work through it, ride the bench and learn a system until their Junior or Senior years...They can cut and run and start over somewhere else. The problem is there is no throttle, nothing to slow things down. Coaches that don't have complicated systems (or can install quickly) and live with the rent-a-player mentality will have a path to success. Not sure that's the way MY is built....or VT for that matter.

I'm gonna guess this is the worst choke in the history of Duke.

Not loss, but choke. Big stage...big lead...big collapse...monumental brain fart at the end...followed by amazing nothing but net deeeeeep three. Can't thank of a bigger one....but I'm no expert on Duke.

There has to be a way for season ticket holders, who KNOW they aren't going

to attend the game to "donate back" to the University so the ticket can be resold to STUDENTS for...say..$10. Marginal incremental revenue and better atmosphere. It's a digital ticket, it can all happen 24-48 hrs before tip off. I remember organizing overnight line sitters for student tickets in the late 70's.

I was there for the METRO days and it was pretty good. Wandering in the

conference wilderness for decades and living in the shadow of the ACC made program building pretty tough. BUT...we've been in the ACC for 20+ years....so no excuses.

Thanks, I'm sure your math is correct...but maybe this board and your

comment section doesn't quite rise to the level of a representative sample. It begs the question "75% of what". Even though "disappointed with the decision" is a little nebulous, I hope your right....but I'm afraid you're confusing noise for sound.
