But the thing is...he didn't make a "stunning admission"
"Beck, who attended Georgia before transferring, added that he is "working toward other degrees now that I’ve gotten to Miami, but these programs take a little longer than just a year to finish."
"Obviously, I'm not enrolling again next semester. I'll be done after this season," Beck continued."
I mean, hello...how many college students do you know that were in class at the time that question was asked. It's January. VT hasn't even started back yet. His college career ends 24 hrs from now. I don't get why this is such a big story...other than it's 2026 and people love knee jerk reactions.
