I don't think Whit and company deep down want anything to do with NIL. I think it doesn't jive real well with our corporate culture. It feels dirty. it's getting abused by other schools willing to get in the gutter with it. It goes against any prior belief that education comes first Or that kids are trading athletic skill for the opportunity to get a quality degree from a great institution... I could be totally wrong but my gut feeling is they are waiting for some external event to occur that saves us from having to participate in this current system. Meanwhile our athletic programs will flail until the system collapses or someone at VT takes the NIL bull by the horns and jumps into the mud with everyone else.......
