NIL has turned college players into professionals and raised expectations
VT72 • 05/18/24 10:21 AM ET
I don't see how NIL is connected to gamblers harassing college athletes
vtbball80 • 05/18/24 11:04 AM ET
It isnt connected**

Because it is easier to blame someone if they are paid to win
hokietom87 • 05/18/24 12:47 PM ET
People are going to get upset weather they are paid a million or 10 cents
HokiesACC2004 • 05/19/24 03:42 AM ET
Exactly my point. And it doesn't have to have anything to do with gambling
VT72 • 05/18/24 02:19 PM ET
Some truth in that, but still seems less important than other factors….
vtbball80 • 05/18/24 01:18 PM ET
I struggle to find any good aspect of gambling.

Only James Bond makes gambling look cool.
Maroon Baboon • 05/21/24 04:22 AM ET
It is a total cop out

The state and local govts. back it 100% cause they can tax it to death to
39hokies • 05/19/24 07:09 AM ET
What's sad is that they can never tax it enough to pay for the problems...
vtbball80 • 05/19/24 12:26 PM ET
Agreed, gambling is great example of where you can say.....
vtbball80 • 05/18/24 11:37 AM ET

People get desperate or want to get rich quick
HokiesACC2004 • 05/18/24 01:00 AM ET
I think it feeds into people's desire to prove themselves right.
Maroon Baboon • 05/21/24 04:28 AM ET
I do it a little, like $1/bet. It’s easy to see how people can get addic.**
Jackie VT • 05/18/24 05:49 PM ET
I hope that did not happen to Pedulla!! Oh wait,
VTMONEY94 • 05/17/24 11:53 PM ET
In my decade of coaching not a single player was ever threatened with death
GCHokie34 • 05/18/24 11:12 PM ET
Yep. Virginia Tech fans are uniquely terrible people. **
