Two notes on Jailen Bedford and Sin'Cere Jones from Mike Young:

This is why VT needs a law school

"The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers."
hok1eboy 02/23/26 10:27 PM ET
Exccuse me, VT graduates in engineering and computer science are doing good
1947Sunbowl 02/23/26 01:37 PM ET
I never suggested that we need to replace or supplant the engineers.
The_Stratman 02/23/26 02:35 PM ET
Doing well ;-)**
WildTurkE 02/23/26 01:55 PM ET
VT engr grads doing good. uva law grads doing well :-)**

To be fair, VTs lawyers are perfectly adequate here
GCHokie34 02/23/26 12:41 PM ET
Yeah. Writing a little about it today, it's interesting.
David CunninghamAdmin 02/23/26 01:48 PM ET
A slight nitpick, GC. From my observations over the years,
saret 02/23/26 12:59 PM ET
I’m assuming that VSB = Virginia State Bar?**
Newt 02/23/26 06:56 PM ET
Yes!**
saret 02/23/26 07:03 PM ET
I moreso meant a combination of all the above but specifically those...
GCHokie34 02/23/26 01:10 PM ET
Again, based upon my past observations, I cannot share your

Lack of Backbone is "Spot On"
ftsumterhokie 02/23/26 02:57 PM ET
Agreed. You're only repeatedly victimized if you allow yourself to be.**
saret 02/23/26 03:23 PM ET
Oh, our attorneys are more than adequate.
The_Stratman 02/23/26 12:52 PM ET
Oh that'd for sure make things easier...
GCHokie34 02/23/26 12:54 PM ET
It's kind of amazing that a school of VT's size doesn't have a law school.
LegalHokie 02/23/26 01:37 PM ET
VT should do a small law school specializing in patent law
UpperQuad 02/23/26 08:29 PM ET
It doesn't quite work that way. A law degree (JD) is a law degree...
LegalHokie 02/24/26 08:50 AM ET
I would love to see a 6-year integrated Engineering/JD program.
UpperQuad 02/24/26 10:16 AM ET
Here is a listing of and rating of Virginia law schools
RJHokie 02/23/26 08:36 PM ET
And Georgetown and GW are right across the river too.
UpperQuad 02/23/26 09:28 PM ET
Yeah, PSU negotiated some sort of deal with Dickinson College
Pylons 02/23/26 05:44 PM ET
I went to The Penn State Dickinson School of Law. The merger was announced
LegalHokie 02/23/26 06:04 PM ET
VCOM is very loosely VT-affiliated, but is definitely not a VT school**
Pylons 02/23/26 05:38 PM ET
I didn't know that.**
LegalHokie 02/23/26 06:05 PM ET
You may be in the majority **
Pylons 02/23/26 06:30 PM ET
UVA already has a pretty good one.**
Lancelot Link 02/23/26 03:15 PM ET
There's nothing good about uva.**
LegalHokie 02/23/26 03:17 PM ET
As much as I hate to say it, their undergrad & grad business schools are
Lancelot Link 02/23/26 03:27 PM ET
Hokie alumni should claim VCOM as our second med school since...
EDGEMAN 02/23/26 02:51 PM ET
I think Carilion is a step in the right direction...
GCHokie34 02/23/26 01:49 PM ET
VT's med school is tiny, graduating less than 100 per year**
UpperQuad 02/23/26 08:27 PM ET
I think it's a bit more than that, but VT just announced they are expanding
LegalHokie 02/24/26 09:16 AM ET
They only graduated 49 this year and took in 56 1st years (Class of 2029)
UpperQuad 02/24/26 10:11 AM ET
Yep, Ole Miss has a med school located 2.5 hours away. They even graduate
atlhokie1 02/23/26 01:55 PM ET
In their defense, the only time it's great to be on the Ole Miss...
EDGEMAN 02/23/26 02:52 PM ET
Yes, hanging out on gameday in the Grove is an experience. Down at the
