If you expect ot Play in the power 2/4 that is not the choice

And the programs who dont wont. simple as that. with that almost a loss of 400 million dollars of economic develoment to western Va and serious residual impact to donations and enrollment. You are talking businesses shutting down. etc.

Some details on the VT football "opt-out" situation publicized on Twitter
Andy BitterAdmin • 09/26/25 03:30 PM ET
Players need to play this season or leave. Sounds like the kid wanted to
40ozDistrict • 09/26/25 07:41 PM ET
This seems crazy to me; the player is probably doing what is in the best
brotherwood • 09/26/25 07:14 PM ET
The fundamental flaw in the argument, of course, is that
Marooned • 09/26/25 06:59 PM ET
Exactly. There is no scenario where the kids gets his redshirt approved by
Hokies2023 • 09/27/25 02:40 AM ET
That’s why you don’t pay those *******s.

1947Sunbowl • 09/26/25 07:12 PM ET
That’s right. I still say shut it down!!!**
VPI 1924 • 09/27/25 11:33 AM ET
OK are you prepared to say loss of 200 Million in economy to SWVA
1947Sunbowl • 09/28/25 12:55 PM ET
Great job Andy. Thanks for keeping us updated.
MKD • 09/26/25 06:22 PM ET
If he’s not in the portal, I’d say VT is on the hook for payment
Hokiefied • 09/26/25 05:07 PM ET
If he’s on the hook for payment, then he also loses a year of eligibility.
Hokies2023 • 09/27/25 02:42 AM ET
People get paid to train and develop in all jobs

Interesting Thanks for posting**
bigbadbird • 09/26/25 05:02 PM ET
the answer for all of this BS is baseball model
furnulator • 09/26/25 04:34 PM ET
Unfortunately, that ship has sailed. Welcome to the New World order in.
SCHokie1103 • 09/26/25 05:19 PM ET
Cool story bro. You gonna start that minor league?
Beerman • 09/26/25 04:40 PM ET
bwoops, IDNK NIL crap is in baseball also
furnulator • 09/26/25 04:42 PM ET
It’s all over…softball, wrestling, baseball, soccer …**
AirborneHokie96 • 09/26/25 05:07 PM ET
Any college student is allowed to sign an endorsement deal
Beerman • 09/26/25 04:51 PM ET
thanks for the lesson on capitalism**
furnulator • 09/27/25 07:10 AM ET
Contracts would prevent this kind of situation.
MP4VT2004 • 09/26/25 04:20 PM ET
That’s “pay for play” which the schools reject ….**
AirborneHokie96 • 09/26/25 05:08 PM ET
And as you stated in another post, this puts them in a sticky situation.**
MP4VT2004 • 09/26/25 07:37 PM ET
I kinda predicted this would happen in a post earlier this morning.
marcbvtgm • 09/26/25 04:18 PM ET
Doesn’t redshirting have to be a mutual agreement if able to play?
VTJay • 09/26/25 03:47 PM ET
Not necessarily
AirborneHokie96 • 09/26/25 05:23 PM ET
So when the coach tries to put him in game 5 and he refuses, what do you do**
DoYouLiftHokies • 09/26/25 08:01 PM ET
If a school terminates a contact b/c an athlete won’t be playing in games,
AirborneHokie96 • 09/26/25 08:32 PM ET
I suppose that's what's up for debate here.
Andy BitterAdmin • 09/26/25 03:57 PM ET
If getting paid (rev share) and can help us get through
VTJay • 09/26/25 04:09 PM ET
Do you think this issue could end up being the catalyst to force the NCAA
VTHokie2000 • 09/26/25 04:02 PM ET
I think this specific issue just gets solved with the 5-for-5 change
Andy BitterAdmin • 09/26/25 04:08 PM ET
BUT, you'd need to get rid of medical redshirts, hardship waivers, whatever
vatechcowpatty • 09/26/25 04:11 PM ET
Just slash eligibility limits altogether and usher in the era of...
MP4VT2004 • 09/26/25 04:21 PM ET
DEs James Djonkam and Keyshawn Burgos are no longer listed on the roster**
Andy BitterAdmin • 09/26/25 03:37 PM ET
Just for this game, or does that indicate their VT careers are over? **
Zanderhokie • 09/26/25 04:18 PM ET
They gone **
AirborneHokie96 • 09/26/25 05:12 PM ET
Ugh. Djonkam, we barely knew you. Burgos, I don’t know what to say. **
Zanderhokie • 09/26/25 11:19 PM ET
Problem here being they could just enter the portal in the normal window
hokiepro • 09/26/25 03:44 PM ET
How so?**
marcbvtgm • 09/26/25 04:11 PM ET
If they say they “want to redshirt but be part of the team”
hokiepro • 09/26/25 07:17 PM ET
Yes but VT does not have to agree to any redshirts.
