Coach Bennett says the game and college athletics is not in a healthy spot. He’s not opposed to players being compensated, but his heart is not in it anymore.

You are so off base with this comment.
RCush13 • 10/18/24 07:59 PM ET
This is a helluva stance to take then
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 08:02 PM ET
He said the changes have just drained him.
RCush13 • 10/18/24 08:19 PM ET
WRT there being "no break in the cycle," how is that any different than
VTHokie2000 • 10/19/24 09:57 AM ET
do you have a crush on Bennett?
Scream_On_D • 10/19/24 12:29 AM ET
I can assure you you don't need to explain the coaching schedule...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 08:24 PM ET
Why do you have such an axe to grind with Bennett?
RCush13 • 10/18/24 08:35 PM ET
I have had no problem with TB up until all of this...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 08:42 PM ET
He’s had 2 head coaching jobs in his career.
RCush13 • 10/18/24 09:04 PM ET
When TB took the UVA job, it was his 4th school/team in 11 years
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 09:08 PM ET
You are trying to count his player/coach role in New Zealand pro ball?
RCush13 • 10/18/24 09:18 PM ET
That is jumping at every opportunity to advance his career
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 09:28 PM ET
Disagree
crazylane • 10/18/24 06:37 PM ET
For the 100th time...no one is stopping contracts
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 06:43 PM ET
It's frigging chaos
crazylane • 10/18/24 07:04 PM ET
It was chaos for athletes prior to OTT...

Here we go with society in general

Says more about you than Bennett.**
crazylane • 10/18/24 06:39 PM ET
? no idea what this means, but I'm glad the Hoo quitter & cry baby is gone
Scream_On_D • 10/19/24 12:37 AM ET
Furthest thing from the truth.
wahoo2023 • 10/18/24 05:00 PM ET
wrong, it's the absolute truth...
Scream_On_D • 10/19/24 12:49 AM ET
Well said
crazylane • 10/18/24 06:42 PM ET
If Bennett believes the system needs restrictions/guardrails places on the

Of course he doesnt...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 06:46 PM ET
GC werent you a D1 assistant
wahoo2023 • 10/18/24 11:39 PM ET
It figures a Hoo would applaud someone quitting for being hurt and drained!
Scream_On_D • 10/19/24 01:04 AM ET
Didn't he decline a pay raise?
KCHokie2 • 10/18/24 08:48 PM ET
As a whole, I like TB...
GCHokie34 • 10/18/24 08:52 PM ET

NativeBurger • 10/18/24 04:14 PM ET
But do you know his perspective??**
ancient alien 2018 • 10/18/24 06:52 PM ET
That’s completely off what he said.
wahoo2023 • 10/18/24 03:01 PM ET
But he's not advocating for guard rails on coach's salaries, thus 2-faced!
Scream_On_D • 10/19/24 01:11 AM ET
it all starts with the schools giving up part of the actual pie. Hopefully
reestuart • 10/18/24 03:24 PM ET
But graduation[sic] forces mandatory turnover. Quick fuse for roster...

hokiehowl • 10/18/24 11:42 AM ET
He was super humble. Basically it was a man saying your heart has to be 100
hokiehowl • 10/18/24 11:42 AM ET
I think he has such high standards for himself, and in the current climate
