Does the administration know how peeved LOTS of people are at the decision

to skip the NIT? Can't help this year, but might be able to influence future decisions.

Do people know how peeved they'd be if VT put half a team on the court?

Worst case is Neo, Hans and Lawal out. We could still field a decent team.
nkhooch • 03/21/26 01:32 AM ET
Well, I still haven't heard back from

unless you are a BIG donor apparently Whit and Sands don't care**
lazarus1 • 03/18/26 04:40 PM ET
Why should they care? Big donors are the life blood of the system now.

I can't wait to see how fans react when players start to opt out of March
VTHokie2000 • 03/18/26 11:09 AM ET
I don't see that ever being a thing...

Given the Crown Tournament is paying the players and the NCAA Tournament
VTHokie2000 • 03/18/26 07:08 PM ET
The rubber will likely meet.....

What starters have opted out of football playoff games?
HokieAl • 03/18/26 11:51 AM ET
FWIW Caleb Downs (Ohio State) opted out of the CFP to prepare for the NFL
VTHokie2000 • 03/18/26 12:30 PM ET
Downs didn't opt out.**
reestuart • 03/18/26 02:35 PM ET
Did he change his mind? **
VTHokie2000 • 03/18/26 02:56 PM ET
It was never mentioned that he was going to opt out.**
reestuart • 03/18/26 02:56 PM ET
Back up FB player portaling does significantly matter if in the playoff
HokieRat • 03/18/26 01:33 PM ET
I don't disagree. However, perceptually people see a big difference
VTHokie2000 • 03/18/26 02:01 PM ET
Only way you stop situations like this is to not let the players vote.

5%r here.. Just don't see the upside to playing the NIT in today's

Well, however, this was handled awkwardly
1947Sunbowl • 03/18/26 10:17 AM ET
It almost always involves communication, or lack thereof, at least at VT.**
saret • 03/18/26 05:09 PM ET
Drama is this Board....
