I would be surprised if he didn’t go somewhere closer to his family…

sometimes it takes an event like his fathers health crisis to bring about a change in perspective. Bottom line I wish him and his family the best

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

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**

I don't see that happening. Besides, every team loses players to the

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

We've lost 1.5 players to the portal that actually hurt us over past few.

I hear you, it is one sided

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?

So you agree with me but I don’t have enough “like” you’re a chick. Sorry**

No.......

Nope .....

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

GCHokie34 • 03/25/23 05:57 PM ET
What are the numbers?**

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
