Relegation will come eventually. Will you be excited for winning 2nd league**
WilmaHokie • 01/05/25 03:34 PM ET
The wheels are off the bus. I have zero excitement for VT football.**

Totally agree, "many" college football fans feel the same way and will
FLKEYSHOKIE • 01/04/25 09:39 PM ET
This is a wise and thoughtful piece

i think it's all part of the academic plan- feed the fat kid more sugar

You forgot another option
VTHokie2000 • 01/04/25 07:55 PM ET
There should be an option between FCS and P2. VT and 90+ schools would fit.**
40ozDistrict • 01/04/25 09:23 PM ET
Why should there be an option? **

It may not be that big of a drop when you consider that at least 30 FCS
VTHokie2000 • 01/05/25 11:24 AM ET
I would be okay with this.

If the P2 ever decide to do their own thing, then there is the possibility
VTHokie2000 • 01/04/25 08:30 PM ET
This would be fine…then we could compete with everyone NOT in the P2**

NIL. All about the money and we don't have enough to keep the good ones.**

Knight Commission proposed a solution years ago. No one paid attention.**
40ozDistrict • 01/04/25 07:25 PM ET
If I remember, the SEC said they didn't want to take a cut in pay. **
hok1eboy • 01/04/25 10:09 PM ET
I was thinking along similar lines today. F'em. Lots of coaches feel same.**

EmpireHokie • 01/04/25 06:32 PM ET
Agree, under present conditions impossible for VT to be relevant.**
Hotus • 01/04/25 06:23 PM ET
I hope college football implodes and becomes irrelevant. But that is a pipe
solareye • 01/04/25 06:18 PM ET
Implosions don’t happen overnight. I think you may still get your wish
run_VT • 01/04/25 08:32 PM ET
It’s not a pipe dream when the break away happens all the money dries up

The ideal solution would be a MLB type model
