It's a Visa issue.

She's here on a student visa which restricts what "jobs" she can have and how she can be paid? They way around that is to pay her when she goes back to Australia (usually in June) for a few weeks. I believe she can also earn "passive" income while here in the US. ** Edited by vthokieq at 2/13/2024, 9:36:32 AM

Have you watched the WBB team or do you

Given that we'll likely have a hard time cracking the top-15 in football
WildTurkE • 02/13/24 05:37 PM ET
you haven't been to Cassell for a ladies home game have you? Lots of women
UTPr0sim • 02/13/24 03:31 PM ET
In general you're correct, but women's basketball is huge at VT right now
Zanderhokie • 02/13/24 03:22 PM ET
Someone is selling out Cassell regularly**
VictoryTurkey • 02/13/24 03:14 PM ET
I'm with you. If the football team or men's basketball
HokieDan • 02/13/24 02:10 PM ET
I'm the opposite, I want the option to designate NIL money for men's bball.

WADR do you go to women’s games or just watch on TV??
hokiepro • 02/13/24 02:06 PM ET
Watch the women’s team a few times. Much more fun than the men.
maroonhiker • 02/13/24 12:10 PM ET
Personally anyone giving NIL money has screwed up priorities**
ModerateHokie • 02/13/24 12:03 PM ET
Waaaa - its the landscape now - give to win, or shut it when we lose**
OXVT • 02/13/24 01:04 PM ET
Not crying. There are just many better places to donate money than to
ModerateHokie • 02/13/24 01:45 PM ET
Personally I agree with you, but there are many people out there lining up
Zanderhokie • 02/13/24 03:27 PM ET
A lot of the NIL money is just money taken away from infrastructure
IB4TECH • 02/13/24 02:04 PM ET
NIL money is equally unnecessary**
ModerateHokie • 02/13/24 02:06 PM ET
If you don’t care about Athletic success, yeah I guess BUT this university

You are pointing to events from 20 years ago to justify today? Even though

HokieHeartNSoul • 02/13/24 11:39 AM ET
I believe Hokie Way will allow you to allocate your donations by sport.**
RJHokie • 02/13/24 11:11 AM ET
Have a hard time believing she's coming back next year.**
hoosnowahokie • 02/13/24 08:45 AM ET
A pretty reliable source told me last week Georgia is probably coming back!**

Can't give her traditional NIL money since she isn't a US Citizen, so...
EDGEMAN • 02/13/24 08:16 AM ET
The $100 handshake may be the best option**
HokieDBA • 02/13/24 12:34 PM ET
It's not a "what" question...it's "when" and "where".
vthokieq • 02/13/24 09:33 AM ET
Didn’t realize such restrictions existed. **

Other schools are using passive nil to pay their foreign kids.
GreenvilleVT • 02/13/24 04:30 PM ET
Or just pay her mother.**
vatechcowpatty • 02/13/24 10:18 AM ET
Or just fly here to Mexico and have her walk back across the border ! **
uber hokie • 02/13/24 01:22 PM ET
Just don't give her a truckload of firewood. **
TomTurkey • 02/13/24 01:05 PM ET
Shipping it to Australia would be expensive...lol**
EDGEMAN • 02/13/24 01:06 PM ET
Bruuuuuuce says hi. I think it was given to his father.**
TomTurkey • 02/13/24 01:09 PM ET
That was the rumor...lol**
EDGEMAN • 02/13/24 01:12 PM ET
Yes, thats right, only a rumor. 🤫**

mygreenbaypackers • 02/13/24 12:30 PM ET
I think she has to be in Australia to get receive any money.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/13/24 09:12 AM ET
No, just outside of the United States...
Cvillehoops13 • 02/13/24 01:03 PM ET
If I run into her in a restaurant in Blacksburg, I'm paying for her dinner**
EDGEMAN • 02/13/24 12:27 PM ET
Would Outback Steakhouse count? We could slip her a check there.
Zanderhokie • 02/13/24 03:24 PM ET
Tip her waiter!**
