When the BC thing happened, there was never any proof at all until

people started confessing. Film was watched over and again, and nobody ever saw a thing. Even easier than turnovers or fouls is controlling the pace. If you're a 10 point favorite, and the PG that's on the take slows it down, the other team can cover, and the PG isn't really doing anything wrong. That's the scary part. Nobody involved truly has to do anything technically wrong.

vtfin91 • 10/23/24 06:57 PM ET
The best ability is availability.**
HokieDelNorte • 10/23/24 07:29 PM ET
Surely we don't have to honor his schollie or NIL if that is true. Guess
Hokie-2x • 10/23/24 05:13 PM ET
Will his next stop be Kansas or Arkansas? Decisions, decisions. **
HolidayInnHokie • 10/23/24 04:35 PM ET
A school with low academic standards where he could play and have no issues
millmtnhokie • 10/23/24 08:30 PM ET
Bama’s POS coach would take him sight unseen. **
reestuart • 10/23/24 08:10 PM ET
Auburn’s too.
RJHokie • 10/23/24 08:18 PM ET
LOL, Miller is not good enough for those rosters.. c'mon man! **
catdaddy • 10/23/24 09:16 PM ET
Probably not…….
RJHokie • 10/23/24 09:19 PM ET
Haha, yes indeed! **
catdaddy • 10/23/24 09:24 PM ET
His next stop will like be a 1st Round draft pick in the Fed. Prison League
VTHokie2000 • 10/23/24 05:00 PM ET

KCHokie2 • 10/23/24 04:51 PM ET
Well very worse case

HokieBrazil • 10/23/24 04:38 PM ET
worst part is not the loss of Miller, it's the wasted spot for this year
HokieAl • 10/23/24 04:27 PM ET
Spot on**
jfrance41 • 10/23/24 04:43 PM ET
Divide his scholarship to walk ons for this season.**
1980VT • 10/23/24 04:42 PM ET
No NIL $ for you AND no PG depth**
Glen Allen Hokie • 10/23/24 03:59 PM ET
Our athletic department looks like amateurs
Glen Allen Hokie • 10/23/24 03:58 PM ET
Even more than football, VT men's hoops needs someone in a GM role
Gobbler Guru • 10/23/24 06:35 PM ET
I was criticized
1977hokie • 10/23/24 05:28 PM ET
I think we need to reserve judgement on blaming VT at this point
Vippie1 • 10/23/24 04:49 PM ET
Like he was beat out...**
HokieRat • 10/23/24 05:19 PM ET
This was a fairly known scandalwell before the portal opened, and when
jfrance41 • 10/23/24 04:11 PM ET
Some say not known - neither Miller nor Temple revealed the issue. **
TomTurkey • 10/23/24 04:07 PM ET
The Team & Admin had to know there was a risk, but took a chance anyway**
HokieRat • 10/23/24 04:06 PM ET
yeah, there was always a risk, but no way for them to know his involvement.**
reestuart • 10/23/24 04:09 PM ET
Umm - he was their best player, by a large margin, and their point guard
vtfin91 • 10/23/24 07:00 PM ET
LOL. OK. So everyone knew Temple was going down for this. Right?
reestuart • 10/23/24 08:15 PM ET
If the coaches and/or admin believe there was some level of "risk" to sign
VTHokie2000 • 10/23/24 04:38 PM ET
There's a risk no matter what. If VT passes, and he goes elsewhere with
reestuart • 10/23/24 04:46 PM ET
Except in this case the investigations had already started while he was
VTHokie2000 • 10/23/24 04:54 PM ET
The only information was that Temple was being investigated. That was very
reestuart • 10/23/24 05:03 PM ET
You are right Temple could have been cleared. In terms of a background
VTHokie2000 • 10/23/24 05:07 PM ET
That reporter isn't going to say a thing until the investigation is done.**
reestuart • 10/23/24 05:10 PM ET
Good to know. Worth a shot**
VTHokie2000 • 10/23/24 05:11 PM ET
this is a fascinating story
kingofcassell • 10/23/24 03:53 PM ET
When the BC thing happened, there was never any proof at all until ◄
reestuart • 10/23/24 04:48 PM ET
By the BC thing, I assume you mean the scandal in 78-79 tied to the mob.**
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/23/24 04:51 PM ET
Yes. There was a 30 for 30 on it. Really good stuff. I need to rewatch.**
reestuart • 10/23/24 04:56 PM ET
Watched this last night. Nice recommendation **
kingofcassell • 10/24/24 05:20 PM ET
Thanks. So interesting. If you listen to podcasts and want to learn
reestuart • 10/24/24 05:27 PM ET
Interesting. Hadn't heard of it until today when a friend mentioned it.
David CunninghamAdmin • 10/23/24 05:57 PM ET
I seem to recall it also happening at Tulane during our Metro years.**
NC Hoke • 10/24/24 01:47 AM ET
If anything, with all of the states legalizing sports betting, it
reestuart • 10/23/24 07:14 PM ET
Happened in the mid 1990s at Arizona St. as well**
