Yep, and the players are very well paid to endure them. It's certainly a

cluster, but the implication I read on here constantly about Pedulla leaving VT for the SEC due to our gambling fans is incredibly absurd. A typical SEC program these days likely has 5x the number gamblers that vt does. Perhaps they are the kinder, gentler folks who don't complain about their losses. Or possibly the difference is the salary. I don't doubt that Pedulla's camp indicated he was leaving due to vt fans....better narrative than "we are leaving for Ole Miss because they pay 4x what vt offered, and I'm taking the money"
