Jethro Tull

So why have they not extended TE beyond the automatic in his contract?

Granted he got an automatic extension for 10 wins, but why not go longer to hold onto him? How many schools were even remotely interested in poaching him? Their 2026 schedule is about as tough as meringue on a pie. They do have that going for them (again).

Yeah, that post is the epitome of the UVA fanbase.

They were better than us this year; by a mile
Riverguy • 12/28/25 06:02 PM ET
The Hoos had 31 graduate students and 21 seniors on their roster
Hokie1992 • 12/29/25 06:06 AM ET
Nothing about their team impressed me.
XFactor11 • 12/28/25 06:58 PM ET
Hopefully...**

I would’ve liked to face them with our roster still intact **
hokiepro • 12/28/25 06:16 PM ET
the Hoos 2026 h.s. recruiting class was 97th by 247 sports
lazarus1 • 12/28/25 05:10 PM ET
They will have another easy schedule next year**
hokie1120 • 12/28/25 08:34 PM ET
It will not help them as much next year

NIL helps programs like UVA. Who would want to play at UVA with 30k fans
icelus • 12/28/25 03:59 PM ET
My thoughts exactly. A program like uva can only be successful by
Blueboy • 12/28/25 04:32 PM ET
Hilarious. That's how all schools do it now. Good grief**
40ozDistrict • 12/28/25 06:59 PM ET
So you are saying the players that go to Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Ohio
SHPHOKIE • 12/29/25 12:48 PM ET
Even if they have the money I don’t see it happening
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/28/25 03:43 PM ET
Another way to look at it: UVA was coming off a 5 win season last year
ReasFordHoo • 12/28/25 04:00 PM ET
It is all about the money and an inordinate number of 5th, 6th year srs.**
hokie1120 • 12/28/25 08:37 PM ET
I understand. I just think the competition level for recruits
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/28/25 04:23 PM ET
Huh? They need to replace 55 seniors place any transfers out
V333T • 12/28/25 04:19 PM ET
A lot of those seniors have more eligibility
ReasFordHoo • 12/28/25 04:22 PM ET
2027 recruit class looks better. 2026 will be the tough one to get past IMO**
V333T • 12/28/25 04:52 PM ET
That will come true if they have enough "NIL" $$$$$ because...
EDGEMAN • 12/28/25 03:31 PM ET
Pretty sure UVA will return 10-12 starters
ReasFordHoo • 12/28/25 03:46 PM ET
18 of 22 starters were listed as senior or graduate students.
LonghornHokie • 12/28/25 11:09 PM ET
The shooting gave all players on team an extra year of eligibility.
ReasFordHoo • 12/28/25 11:23 PM ET
Hadn't heard about the extra year.
LonghornHokie • 12/29/25 12:44 AM ET

TomTurkey • 12/28/25 03:34 PM ET
VT doesn't need as many NIL players...
EDGEMAN • 12/28/25 03:36 PM ET
Isn't every starter a NIL player? **
40ozDistrict • 12/28/25 08:04 PM ET
Make that a newly imported NIL player.**
EDGEMAN • 12/29/25 05:04 AM ET
Another one worth revisiting**
ReasFordHoo • 12/28/25 03:25 PM ET
LOL... I wonder what brand?**
Riverguy • 12/28/25 06:06 PM ET
Any update?**
