I loved my time at VT, but I was ready to graduate and move on.

I would stick around making 6 figures vice real entry pay
Happy Dog • 03/27/26 04:12 PM ET
You see the paychecks some of them have been getting?
HokiesACC2004 • 03/27/26 12:12 PM ET
Yep. When they go out to get “real” jobs, the pay is not going to be as g.**

#1. For some of them, they’ll make more money

Many college athletes have grown up with everything being done for them
bigbadbird • 03/27/26 10:47 AM ET
No its business
1947Sunbowl • 03/27/26 10:53 AM ET
it's not disturbing- just explaining why they stay**
bigbadbird • 03/27/26 10:56 AM ET
They get paid and there are no shortage of classes to take. Pretty simple.**
BG Hokie • 03/27/26 10:29 AM ET
It's not school. It's a job that pays hundreds of thousands of dollars
NOFX • 03/27/26 09:35 AM ET
Plus college girls**
bigbadbird • 03/27/26 11:35 AM ET
I guess. The thought of having to continually take classes wouldn’t appeal
HokienGeorjaw • 03/27/26 09:42 AM ET
they don't take classes unless they go out of their way to attend something
bigbadbird • 03/27/26 10:49 AM ET
Good point, **
HokienGeorjaw • 03/27/26 11:27 AM ET
Not sure what school they attended but mine were told otherwise.

one SEC- one D2- all the same- sports sports sports
bigbadbird • 03/27/26 11:24 AM ET
Agree...see my post in this thread below.**
BleedinOandM • 03/27/26 10:45 AM ET
Grinding in practice and film room, etc. may not be appealing to many,
BG Hokie • 03/27/26 10:31 AM ET
Exactly**
BleedinOandM • 03/27/26 09:40 AM ET
They graduate and take grad school courses the extra years
TekkNerd • 03/27/26 09:35 AM ET
I keep wondering when an athlete will sue....
BleedinOandM • 03/27/26 09:42 AM ET
Heading in that direction, Then the school can fire them
HokienGeorjaw • 03/27/26 10:26 AM ET
Good point....and one that I did not think of. You then get into....
