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.
VPI 1924 • 09/26/25 06:33 PM ET
If you expect ot Play in the power 2/4 that is not the choice
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?

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.
