A few of the UCONN fans are humorous, they just won a natty and complaining**

Must be a nice problem to have. **

One possibility is that there’s a certain graduate program he wants…

Yeah you’re onto something. Mens BB unicorns do exist**
JackDSML • 04/14/23 09:09 AM ET
Adam Smith is about the only player I've every seen do that

Pamplin has few VT athletes in the Data Analytics Masters program
UpperQuad • 04/14/23 09:49 PM ET
It's starting/playing time. He wants more minutes to showcase his talent**
HokieRat • 04/14/23 08:14 AM ET
It’s always about playing time. Ask any coach. Signed A Coach**
JackDSML • 04/14/23 09:17 AM ET
Love the back to VT tweet.**

The portal and NIL have completely killed college athletics
flhokie25 • 04/13/23 08:50 PM ET
No, just changed the traditional form of college athletics
NC Hoke • 04/14/23 11:30 AM ET
No. The transfers done and money made by everyone but the players
Gator Hokie • 04/14/23 09:35 AM ET
Quite the opposite. The portal has brought better parity
hoosnowahokie • 04/14/23 08:26 AM ET
Of course this assumes parity makes sports better - which IMO it doesn't
marcbvtgm • 04/14/23 09:38 AM ET
Great games happen when the teams are evenly matched
soflahokie • 04/14/23 11:56 AM ET
NIL just put (almost) everything that was under the table, above the table.

HokieDan95 • 04/13/23 09:43 PM ET
So you have proven my point...
flhokie25 • 04/13/23 11:15 PM ET
So you begrudge her making bank now
hoosnowahokie • 04/14/23 08:29 AM ET
Yes, the portal killed a billion dollar industry...
GCHokie34 • 04/13/23 09:29 PM ET
Yeah sure, so college b’ball is an “Industry” now,you just made his point**
ombandit • 04/14/23 12:39 AM ET
It has been an industry for 50+ years...
GCHokie34 • 04/14/23 11:17 AM ET
It became an industry long before the portal or NIL, so don't see how the

An athlete is not fired and kicked out of school for poor performance
flhokie25 • 04/13/23 11:27 PM ET
Players are kicked off a team for bad performance every yr at every school
GCHokie34 • 04/14/23 11:19 AM ET
No but their scholarship might not be renewed. CMY seems to have sent

You’re correct money corrupts everything sooner or later. If you can’t see

Viewership has remained the same or grown since the Portals inception

Wouldn't viewership......

Proof source ?? Just finished reading articles with numbers from last
uber hokie • 04/14/23 05:18 PM ET
Viewership =/= attendance

Money is the root of all evil.**

The love of money is the root of all evil. **

Thanks for making the correct statement**
VTCALS72 • 04/14/23 06:57 AM ET
Money don’t talk, it swears! **
ombandit • 04/14/23 06:42 AM ET
How in God's name could you ever be in support of the portal?**
flhokie25 • 04/13/23 09:41 PM ET
Freedom of movement. They aren’t indentured servants.**
Femoyer Hokie • 04/14/23 11:25 AM ET
It’s not just the portal it’s the NIL also. **
uber hokie • 04/14/23 05:21 PM ET
Fans only complain about the portal when they lose players that they want..
vtbball80 • 04/14/23 10:44 AM ET
Because every college student can transfer whether they want.
st_andrew • 04/13/23 09:46 PM ET
I went in and out of the portal several times during the completion of my
IB4TECH • 04/15/23 01:46 PM ET
I liked it better when players had to sit out a year.**
LXNTN_HOKIE • 04/14/23 02:48 AM ET
I wish they would bring that rule back.
NC Hoke • 04/14/23 12:09 PM ET
You are comparing apples and oranges**

Not every student has signed a contract for a grant in aid
GusDaMan • 04/13/23 10:21 PM ET
But that's exactly what it has become...
flhokie25 • 04/13/23 11:18 PM ET
Athletic Scholarships are year to year, they can and have been revoked.
Stech • 04/13/23 10:40 PM ET
And fans can leave
TomTurkey • 04/14/23 11:32 AM ET
You are comparing student athletes vs. employees
flhokie25 • 04/13/23 11:19 PM ET
The Supreme Court with Justices from both side of the aisle changed that.

HokieEngineer • 04/14/23 12:29 PM ET
That is really the heart of this discussion
VTCALS72 • 04/14/23 07:12 AM ET
Sure. As I said I don't have anything against the portal
GusDaMan • 04/13/23 10:45 PM ET
Gotcha, that’s an interesting idea.**
Stech • 04/14/23 08:38 AM ET
I like that idea.**
LXNTN_HOKIE • 04/14/23 02:52 AM ET
Same way I'm 100% in favor of you being able to leave your job**
GCHokie34 • 04/13/23 09:41 PM ET
Again, comparing two very different concepts that are truly not relatable **
flhokie25 • 04/13/23 11:20 PM ET

GCHokie34 • 04/14/23 11:21 AM ET

Vienna_Hokie • 04/13/23 09:40 PM ET
I could see him playing closer to home for his final year. Maybe GT or Ga.**

TomTurkey • 04/13/23 04:39 PM ET
Some players are transferring every year. There needs to be some limit.
LXNTN_HOKIE • 04/14/23 03:02 AM ET
Guess Alleyne knows you can't please everyone, got to please yourself.**
KCHokie2 • 04/13/23 06:43 PM ET

JackDSML • 04/14/23 02:36 PM ET
Athletes are not the same as regular students in this regard

GCHokie34 • 04/13/23 10:08 PM ET
And, you’re not supposed to use examples that hurt the disgruntled argument**
hokieZ71 • 04/13/23 10:40 PM ET
What disgruntled argument? Maybe you shouldn't project your feelings.
