I may be the only Hokie who feels this way, but it's absurd to link p..

It's as simple as this: Players transfer because they can.
Beerman • 10/15/25 11:47 AM ET
It's an apprenticeship. See latest Heisman winner and all of wrestling
Concord Dan • 10/15/25 10:41 AM ET
Major CFB really needs a players union now....
QuadHokie • 10/15/25 10:37 AM ET
The schools don't want the players to unionize.
AirborneHokie96 • 10/15/25 10:51 AM ET
Could not agree more. The current system has been a grift for decades....
QuadHokie • 10/15/25 11:01 AM ET
Well...
Pylons • 10/15/25 10:15 AM ET
Hadn't thought about it before, but in 2025, you have a decent point.**

My son played two sports and lost both coaches after his FR year
Happy Dog • 10/15/25 06:32 AM ET
Student-Athletes shouldn’t be held to a higher standard than students
AirborneHokie96 • 10/14/25 09:00 PM ET
Student athletes - laughable **
pissedofffan • 10/15/25 09:14 AM ET
Why? They go to school and are athletes
AirborneHokie96 • 10/15/25 09:53 AM ET
Yes**
VPI 1924 • 10/15/25 07:12 PM ET
Do regular students transfer in the middle of a semester because...
EDGEMAN • 10/15/25 04:59 AM ET
I bet plenty do if they lose favorite professors and the replacements
reestuart • 10/15/25 12:42 PM ET
The "classroom" also doesn't depend on the "students" for success
TomTurkey • 10/15/25 10:21 AM ET
Then the school should assume more risk
Beerman • 10/15/25 11:43 AM ET
Student athletes are not transferring mid semester either.
AirborneHokie96 • 10/15/25 09:17 AM ET
There is the " drop class" date**
TomTurkey • 10/15/25 12:28 PM ET
This paid athlete (would say student athlete, but "student" is silent)...
EDGEMAN • 10/15/25 09:47 AM ET
I'm quite sure that players entering the portal are fulfilling the terms...
Beerman • 10/15/25 10:08 AM ET
But he isn't transferring out until the end of the semester
AirborneHokie96 • 10/15/25 10:02 AM ET
The student half of the student athlete should be able to leave any time
Seikoh_04 • 10/14/25 10:12 PM ET
Then the school should consider some sort of binding contract
Beerman • 10/15/25 08:40 AM ET
Don't need a contract if it is a rule
Seikoh_04 • 10/15/25 10:02 AM ET
Because it's a for-profit enterprise not an athletic association
Beerman • 10/15/25 10:13 AM ET
Maybe not "student athletes", but we are essentially talking about...
MP4VT2004 • 10/14/25 09:55 PM ET
way more "athlete-students" and "athletes" playing college football ◄
furnulator • 10/15/25 05:22 AM ET
Schools refuse to treat athletes as employees legally…
AirborneHokie96 • 10/14/25 09:59 PM ET
Is that because it would be inconvenient for the schools, or because...
MP4VT2004 • 10/14/25 10:47 PM ET
The schools are the ones that don't want to treat them as employees
AirborneHokie96 • 10/15/25 09:21 AM ET
100% on the schools
Beerman • 10/15/25 08:12 AM ET
The school isn’t compensating non-athletes.
Hokie98 • 10/14/25 09:38 PM ET
Faculty and Coaches get compensation and can leave at any time…**
AirborneHokie96 • 10/14/25 09:56 PM ET
The coaching staff recruits them, not the school per se
TomTurkey • 10/14/25 08:45 PM ET
Coaches make a huge difference
Happy Dog • 10/15/25 07:42 AM ET
What's "commitment"? TIC**
