I hope college football implodes and becomes irrelevant. But that is a pipe

dream, I understand that. I'm just sick of this BS mercenary player crap we have to endure now. You can't root for any player anymore because they could decide to leave your program at their whim.

FBS football is ruined for the foreseeable future for programs like ours.

Relegation will come eventually. Will you be excited for winning 2nd league**
WilmaHokie • 01/05/25 03:34 PM ET
The wheels are off the bus. I have zero excitement for VT football.**

Totally agree, "many" college football fans feel the same way and will

This is a wise and thoughtful piece

i think it's all part of the academic plan- feed the fat kid more sugar

You forgot another option
VTHokie2000 • 01/04/25 07:55 PM ET
There should be an option between FCS and P2. VT and 90+ schools would fit.**
40ozDistrict • 01/04/25 09:23 PM ET
Why should there be an option? **
VTHokie2000 • 01/04/25 09:34 PM ET
FCS is a big drop down from FBS. Stadium size, attendance, and more**
40ozDistrict • 01/04/25 11:48 PM ET
It may not be that big of a drop when you consider that at least 30 FCS
VTHokie2000 • 01/05/25 11:24 AM ET
I would be okay with this.
run_VT • 01/04/25 08:24 PM ET
If the P2 ever decide to do their own thing, then there is the possibility
VTHokie2000 • 01/04/25 08:30 PM ET
This would be fine…then we could compete with everyone NOT in the P2**

Yup. We are a currently a program to showcase the strong players in their

NIL. All about the money and we don't have enough to keep the good ones.**

Knight Commission proposed a solution years ago. No one paid attention.**
40ozDistrict • 01/04/25 07:25 PM ET
If I remember, the SEC said they didn't want to take a cut in pay. **
hok1eboy • 01/04/25 10:09 PM ET
I was thinking along similar lines today. F'em. Lots of coaches feel same.**
MikeVT85 • 01/04/25 07:10 PM ET
It is kind of messed up for everyone
Hokietron • 01/04/25 07:00 PM ET
The scholly expansion doesn't help parity across the sport. CFB needs a

ESPN and Fox hold all the power - they like it as-is
EmpireHokie • 01/04/25 06:32 PM ET
Agree, under present conditions impossible for VT to be relevant.**

Implosions don’t happen overnight. I think you may still get your wish
run_VT • 01/04/25 08:32 PM ET
It’s not a pipe dream when the break away happens all the money dries up
fordham • 01/04/25 06:33 PM ET
The ideal solution would be a MLB type model
