He could have also liked the up and down style of Oats

The facilities of Alabama, the fan support and talent on the roster But for some reason people jump straight to "Bama put money down on a 110 ranked PF" when they could have much better players if they wanted to spend money No one is paying Dioubate under the table. No one is offering him NIL as recruiting inducements. The same reason VT fans would be livid about offering NIL to Dioubate but not offering it to much better players is the same reason why it makes no sense for Bama to do it. Bama isn't striking out on mediocre players, they are landing really good ones. They aren't desperate enough to need to make a move like that

VTBird541 • 10/17/22 06:57 PM ET
Wouldn’t be surprised.
RJHokie • 10/17/22 07:00 PM ET
I was joking
VTBird541 • 10/17/22 07:01 PM ET
Seriously your “joke” could be accurate.
RJHokie • 10/17/22 07:24 PM ET
The ROI is too good in Bball to NOT buy players
The_Phew • 10/18/22 06:42 PM ET
Even at 5x that amount, it's still a good return on investment
UpperQuad • 10/21/22 11:26 AM ET
What is the source....

Thanks for reply....

RJHokie • 10/18/22 07:05 PM ET
Oh yeah
VTBird541 • 10/17/22 07:55 PM ET
As usual throw money out there
VTBird541 • 10/17/22 06:50 PM ET
I would say the same thing if VT wasn't involved.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/17/22 08:20 PM ET
Sure**

What does punishing cheating have to do with antitrust?
Pylons • 10/18/22 12:02 AM ET
Good article.

tallahasseehokie • 10/17/22 06:27 PM ET
Schools basically suing themselves.
RJHokie • 10/17/22 06:49 PM ET
Yes, i was alluding to that😬
tallahasseehokie • 10/17/22 10:36 PM ET
The stupid thing about it is that’s it’s not even illegal. **
st_andrew • 10/17/22 04:38 PM ET
I believe Alabama has been paying their players illegally for decades

Yeah I can't help you...
GCHokie34 • 10/17/22 01:18 PM ET
It's an opinion. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/17/22 01:29 PM ET
most likely of fact! **
VT Pez4Life • 10/17/22 02:14 PM ET
So you demand evidence to contradict something you swallowed without any
IronBlood • 10/17/22 12:50 PM ET
It's an opinion. And I doubt I'm the only one who has it. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/17/22 01:32 PM ET
Sorry, an opinion without facts is just a fairy tale....

Hokie622 • 10/17/22 01:40 PM ET
Do you believe shady/illegal recruiting goes on? **
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/17/22 01:47 PM ET
Do they go on everywhere in your opinion
VTBird541 • 10/17/22 07:00 PM ET
This has nothing to do with VT and everything to do with Alabama and
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/18/22 11:43 AM ET
Sure pal
VTBird541 • 10/18/22 04:52 PM ET
Okay, you just believe whatever helps you sleep at night, birdie. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/18/22 06:54 PM ET
Cause you know I'm right
VTBird541 • 10/18/22 07:13 PM ET
I know your right**

This idea that a kid would only pick one school over another because of
HeisenBurg13 • 10/17/22 12:46 PM ET
It happens pretty frequently and has for years...
Brewing_Hokie • 10/17/22 01:55 PM ET
The frequency of it happening is the most overblown aspect of all sports**
GCHokie34 • 10/17/22 05:56 PM ET
So it DOES happen and the argument is HOW OFTEN does it happen.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/18/22 09:05 AM ET
They could use logic...**
GCHokie34 • 10/18/22 09:25 AM ET
Care to expand?**
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/18/22 11:33 AM ET
I've done so many times...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/22 11:47 AM ET
That makes a lot of sense.**
Atlee Hokie • 10/18/22 12:17 PM ET
Good points.**
RJHokie • 10/18/22 11:53 AM ET
You only cheat for players outside of your recruiting "zone" - Thank you
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/18/22 11:49 AM ET
See below**
Hokie622 • 10/18/22 11:43 AM ET
This is about Alabama and SEC, not VT**
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/18/22 11:48 AM ET
Agreed**
TboneParkerVT • 10/17/22 05:03 PM ET
Cam Newton is an example of this.
RJHokie • 10/17/22 12:54 PM ET
Cam Newton, Zion Williamson and...Mouhamoud Dioubate...
GCHokie34 • 10/17/22 01:16 PM ET
Only one of them will receive NIL ? **
uber hokie • 10/17/22 04:54 PM ET
That’s true.
RJHokie • 10/17/22 01:20 PM ET

An explanation you shouldn't need to provide but have many times, in detail**

I respectfully disagree with your opinion.

YBYSAIAHokie • 10/17/22 08:13 PM ET
Yes, of course, Cam got paid. Reggie got paid. Other elite #1 prospects
HeisenBurg13 • 10/17/22 01:00 PM ET
Plus Dematrious Davis from Texas that went to Auburn rather than VT,
