1 so far, 2 more possible.

Leon Bond III hit the portal. He’s basically a 6’5 4 right now and has a long way to go to being a 3 at the P5 level. Good athlete and motor but is a year or two at least away from being a true impact ACC player. Other two are Dante Harris and Andrew Rohde. Harris is being recruited over in the portal and has a freshman who will get minutes at PG (Christian Bliss). Rohde is the same issue - struggling to be an impact 2/3 at uva. Both are not in but they are still rumored with Harris more likely of the two. Most expect Beekman and Dunn are both gone so uva will lose at 3, likely 4 at this point. Obviously subject to change. They will bring in a 1 and a 4, possibly another 4/5 shooter like Jake Groves.

The faster fans tune out, the better. The entire thing is stupid, IMO.
MP4VT2004 • 04/10/24 09:38 PM ET
Oddly enough, this has pushed my fandom back toward the NFL and NBA
Zanderhokie • 04/11/24 06:06 PM ET
Yep. I'll never care about the NBA, but I watched an NFL game or 2 this yr.**
MP4VT2004 • 04/11/24 08:09 PM ET
First tourney that I didn't watch a single minute of any game. I see that

Every player in the country is now a free agent, every season. Kidd's

It's hard to hold a mid-tier college coach to any expectations...I mean CMY
VT757to276 • 04/10/24 03:44 PM ET
CMY is punching above his NIL weight so he's great as far as I'm concerned.**

This will all backfire on the four-letter network!

DMV Gobbler • 04/10/24 07:46 AM ET
That's his point. They'll go from fans to observers**

The ball, as they say, is in Congress court. Don't hold your breath
Va AandM • 04/10/24 07:14 AM ET
Wouldn’t this also be successfully challenged in court?**
Femoyer Hokie • 04/10/24 10:01 AM ET
Could be, but it's a different bar to challenge legislation vs org policy

You might as well remove the term "student athlete" because they are

HokieBrazil • 04/10/24 01:13 PM ET
Good point but then the school is to blame, not the NIL.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/10/24 02:30 PM ET
NIL may still be partially to blame at some schools. Specifically at

It's not good for all student athletes...
BROman Hokie • 04/10/24 11:37 AM ET
it won't be when a large portion of schools are relegated to second class

Exactly

I actually think the NCAA understands it, they just have no power now

NCAA tried to add some transfer restrictions back in
