What happened to the clearing house?

I know what my company used to pay well known people (Brett Favre, Nolan Ryan) for print and TV ads. No way anyone would know or relate to some offense tackle making that much money. I thought there was to be a process to vet NIL to make sure the value was correct.

If VT needs athletics to support academics, we have seriously lost our way.

Or, VT could choose to drop down to Div. II and still be competitive.

So the students should be forced to pay for you to be entertained?**

It's easy to say that when we are no longer students burdened by loans...
