Would like to know the scoop on how Hokies identified Dorn, pursued him,
and closed the deal. Guess we'll never know who did the initial legwork. Wonder what drew Dorn to VT, hopefully more than $$$.

His agent reached out. He’s a pro. . Never attended college. Not a student
Doubtful he’ll ever sit in a classroom or study fr a final.

I love VT!
LOL. "Not a student" can apply to so many people & areas of life as your
posts continue to prove.

Yeah no...
Having him ineligible for the bulk of conference play isn't going to happen

Well, he’s got to be eligible after the first semester.
So, he will go the Liberty route and take nonsensical online classes that don’t have final exams?
G
GCHokie34
No, that isn't an option...
He will definitely be required to go to class, pass tests and do all the same eligibility anyone else would do. This is complete nonsense

You actually believe he was a student ? Delusional.
My son saw him enter his class or on the day of a final. Sat there 5 minutes, walked to the prof’s/ proctors desk , and walked out. It’s the only time he attended that class all semester. Stomp on that!

I did that half the time. Did I have great grades? No. But I finished.

What are you talking about?
I'm saying it didn't matter for Vick to go to class if he didn't need to be eligible in the Spring Basketball you have to be eligible both semesters

You’re correct about the eligibility need for the spring
I’m think some question how rigorous academic requirements are for athletes. Are they just being pushed through and passed even when they don’t the work.

They weren't being "pushed through" when I was teaching at Tech
in the late 2010's...at least not in my classes...including a fairly high profile football player...he was generally in class and definitely took exams...I think he got a C

I understand. And that’s great to hear.
Same experience I have teaching at Vandy. Student athletes are held to same standards as other students. I had 3 football players, a basketball player, a women’s lacrosse player, and a member of the track team in class this semester. No special treatment.

Now there you go again, using actual NCAA rules and regulations to ruin
