Hats off to Miami - they took advantage of the NIL, and have a good coach

and really good players. Those guards are amazing. I think we are all jealous of Miami having a billionaire alum that got these contracts with the players. I don't know if there are any Hokie alums like that. As for hating the NIL - I am not crazy about it, but it opens up the playing field for the other schools to pay players (through 3rd parties) out in the open without fear of NCAA sanctions, The reason the "Blue Bloods" exist most likely goes to all the "special deals" behind the scenes going back to the 1950s and 60s. I believe it was Bobby Knight that was so disgusted with UCLA and how they operated under the table - he had no respect for John Wooden.

An all-city Canes vs FAU final would be awesome. Miami vs Boca Raton
