Thats the thing though, this is all outstripping the laws ability to pace..

The students are told when to be where, what to eat, when to be in class and when not to be, not at all what you would expect if the analysis came down to is it a 1099 contractor or w2 wage employee. Its possible ly coming, look how far things have moved in just 6 years. Coach- I need FMLA for my daughters birth, you cant cut me or sit me when i come back- thats another potential legal challenge-

Probably just as well. Spares us from enduring another embarrassing loss

The Good News, Whit had already shut down 1/2 the Cassell concession
Glen Allen Hokie • 03/13/26 05:09 PM ET
Ya know when the players were arguably "amateurs " it was reasonable

TomTurkey • 03/13/26 04:14 PM ET
So the players meet today and voted - and that was it? It doesn't work that

Well it shows CMY ( and quite a few other coaches)

Surprised fans thirst for the NIT.. Doubt I've intentionally watched

For some, it’s more about quitting than the NIT
Burke Hokie • 03/13/26 05:27 PM ET
I've watched some games. Better than many 1st round NCAA games.**
