DK and Cubby • 04/08/26 06:27 PM ET

I am once again asking...**
DoYouLiftHokies • 04/08/26 02:31 PM ET
Why are we fooling ourselves with the concept of Studeny Athlete anymore?
VT20 • 04/08/26 12:48 PM ET
Plenty of VT sports still have genuine student-athletes**
UpperQuad • 04/08/26 02:58 PM ET
Yes,majority of the athletes outside Football and MBB are legit student

Windows NT • 04/08/26 01:15 PM ET
If you found a way to receive money and someone offered you $3 million...

icelus • 04/08/26 03:22 PM ET
Only when they are physically in their home country.So let's say Avadalas
HokieBrazil • 04/08/26 05:16 PM ET
You didn't have that luxury because you didn't have something...
GCHokie34 • 04/08/26 01:46 PM ET
You are missing the main point about international players and visas. **
40ozDistrict • 04/08/26 06:05 PM ET
Avdalas hasn’t shown $3m/year performance ability to me

GCHokie34 • 04/08/26 05:59 PM ET
Maybe we should have never brought him to VT to begin with. And better
JM397 • 04/08/26 07:55 PM ET
Just couldn't resist that last sentence, could you?**

Love your posts here, but I think you missed original posters main issue
Scream_On_D • 04/08/26 01:54 PM ET
Legit question - is Neo coming to VT to play basketball taking away another
hokiehill1117 • 04/08/26 02:14 PM ET
It all depends on the embassy,there isn't necessarily a quota/limit set by
HokieBrazil • 04/08/26 02:17 PM ET

GCHokie34 • 04/08/26 04:51 PM ET
The difference is that if I had that skill I would have to switch to a work
HokieBrazil • 04/08/26 05:23 PM ET
And Im going to again tell you there is a loophole...

Once again, you're deflecting. I don't think @HokieBrazil is
saret • 04/08/26 06:33 PM ET
Every single one of my posts is arguing he isnt misusing the process**
GCHokie34 • 04/08/26 07:29 PM ET
Yes, they do. Then you keep talking about everything else.

it shouldn't bother you that someone in this country gets paid for the work
Scream_On_D • 04/08/26 02:01 PM ET
That's true for revenue sharing, not this NIL collective BS. Fans are
icelus • 04/08/26 03:27 PM ET
Most athletic departments don't make money. They are being paid in food
JoseyWales • 04/08/26 02:29 PM ET
If this athletic department doesn't get straightened out, guess what?
