Maddox news - CC still penning an article? There may be some missing ….

pieces to the story that I haven’t seen mentioned yet. It is interesting to read the speculation. Are fans surprised at this new entrance to the portal? Best of luck to him and family. As an aside, I’m not a big fan of there being no rules around the portal. Look at the situation with Buchanan. VT has sank a lot of time, money, and free education into a player who will never play for us. I feel like the NCAA has given up and said, “let the players do whatever they want.”

Thank you DM
Hokie Dog`s Dad • 03/25/23 02:01 PM ET
I would be surprised if he didn’t go somewhere closer to his family…
ombandit • 03/25/23 01:46 PM ET
Not surprised. I felt like he lost his starting spot
WildTurkE • 03/25/23 12:23 PM ET
I agree
crazylane • 03/25/23 07:42 PM ET
DM could help the team by staying

Ding-ding. Didn’t mean to imply family thing was not legit, but

Yup**

We can just as easily get a player that some other school developed. I

Miami and Kansas State are loaded with transfers.
Old Line Hokie • 03/25/23 01:04 PM ET
With CMY's system, we can't afford to be a prep school**
WildTurkE • 03/25/23 12:13 PM ET
I don't see that happening. Besides, every team loses players to the

I still contend the NCAA was never empowered to deal with something like
VTCALS72 • 03/25/23 11:16 AM ET
NCAA must have presumed it'd be players endorsing lemonade stands **
TomTurkey • 03/25/23 11:26 AM ET
Didn't matter what they "presumed" IMHO they were powerless
VTCALS72 • 03/25/23 11:29 AM ET
Like to be a fly on the wall for those discussions
TomTurkey • 03/25/23 11:40 AM ET
If we had wanted
st_andrew • 03/25/23 10:00 AM ET
We've lost 1.5 players to the portal that actually hurt us over past few.
Vippie1 • 03/25/23 02:35 PM ET
I hear you, it is one sided
Vippie1 • 03/25/23 09:57 AM ET
Just opening another can of worms **
VaTechHokiesACC • 03/25/23 01:17 PM ET
Why the school? The money is (supposedly NIL and separate
VTCALS72 • 03/25/23 11:19 AM ET
I’d rather see common sense used. Sitting out a year was appropriate
NC Hoke • 03/25/23 11:00 AM ET
I hate it but the money to the players is the driving force
VTCALS72 • 03/25/23 11:23 AM ET
It’s both the money and the transfer rule. The NCAA controls the transfer
NC Hoke • 03/25/23 01:03 PM ET
To me that question is just like, "why didn't the NCAA really penalize UNC?
VTCALS72 • 03/25/23 01:12 PM ET
Ridiculous! Didn’t NCAA claim they had no jurisdiction?
BeachGobbler • 03/25/23 01:41 PM ET
Not sure how they dressed it.**
VTCALS72 • 03/25/23 01:43 PM ET
Probably right about that.
NC Hoke • 03/25/23 01:20 PM ET
yeah i'd like that too
Vippie1 • 03/25/23 11:01 AM ET
Agree and disagree.
NC Hoke • 03/25/23 11:13 AM ET
The family situation was legit.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/25/23 09:40 AM ET
Not disagreeing about family situation. However, reason to transfer?

If you’ve ever coached.

Maybe one day.....

No_Limit_Hokie • 03/25/23 04:52 PM ET
True story. I was head coach varsity boys team
1980VT • 03/25/23 04:15 PM ET
I have no doubt.....
2hhoop3 • 03/25/23 04:27 PM ET
So you agree with me but I don’t have enough “like” you’re a chick. Sorry**
JackDSML • 03/25/23 06:10 PM ET
No.......
2hhoop3 • 03/25/23 06:28 PM ET
Geeze rage much? That’s a big assumption. Good luck with that deep analysis**
JackDSML • 03/25/23 02:34 PM ET
Nope .....
2hhoop3 • 03/25/23 02:37 PM ET
Reading between the lines but I believe the Buchanan situation was mutual
millmtnhokie • 03/25/23 09:24 AM ET
The NCAA didn’t have any say on NIL, but
NC Hoke • 03/25/23 09:22 AM ET
So schools make millions but you blame players who seek more playing time?
HokieAl • 03/25/23 09:21 AM ET
Yes and no. In a standard business context they do not.
Nelsonia Hokie • 03/25/23 12:20 PM ET
Does VT really "make millions?"**
VTCALS72 • 03/25/23 11:24 AM ET
Ever been on a major campus and not seen cranes? Construction?**
JackDSML • 03/25/23 02:24 PM ET
Yes**
GCHokie34 • 03/25/23 11:36 AM ET
In net profit or revenue?**
HokieBrazil • 03/25/23 12:45 PM ET
If they so chose, they could absolutely profit millions...
GCHokie34 • 03/25/23 04:46 PM ET
If we are talking basketball only then not convinced of that. Football
Nelsonia Hokie • 03/25/23 05:17 PM ET
Talking athletic depth as a whole...
GCHokie34 • 03/25/23 05:20 PM ET
Not sure of that it really costed out. And if you take out scholarship
Nelsonia Hokie • 03/25/23 05:33 PM ET
Don't know what to tell you...they make bank**
GCHokie34 • 03/25/23 05:57 PM ET
What are the numbers?**
Nelsonia Hokie • 03/25/23 09:22 PM ET
Great question

VT757to276 • 03/25/23 10:44 AM ET
Not sure why where the money comes from matters.**
Femoyer Hokie • 03/25/23 12:27 PM ET
By the way how are these millions spent?
Vippie1 • 03/25/23 09:53 AM ET
We aren't Florida, where the state buys football stadiums
EDGEMAN • 03/25/23 10:41 AM ET
yep
Vippie1 • 03/25/23 10:50 AM ET
Who said anything about players being exploited? Not me
HokieAl • 03/25/23 01:12 PM ET
Fair nuff
Vippie1 • 03/25/23 01:51 PM ET
But there is no comparative between the players and the schools and coaches
