Agree but very few schools out side of the big 2 will succeed long term

Just be glad VT students don't have to pay JMU level athletic fees**
EDGEMAN • 09/18/24 09:25 PM ET
Higher cost for an inferior product. Great business model**
ModerateHokie • 09/18/24 03:40 PM ET
Tennessee is ranked #6 in the nation right now. 😜
Will StewartAdmin • 09/18/24 05:33 PM ET
Respectfully disagree. I think most fans would be more ok with a ticket
RichCat • 09/19/24 08:46 AM ET
WOW - YOU used “brilliant” in a post regarding Tennessee
uber hokie • 09/19/24 09:35 PM ET
Yes

Apparently we are watching different games **
ModerateHokie • 09/18/24 09:51 PM ET
Yeah, I don't think the games are remotely as entertaining these days.
reestuart • 09/19/24 08:05 AM ET
Agree 100%. Long and boring. **
ModerateHokie • 09/19/24 09:03 AM ET
Exactly. **
reestuart • 09/19/24 11:26 AM ET
Yeah, I don’t understand the need. **

The money grab is already wearing thin
Zanderhokie • 09/18/24 03:25 PM ET
The end will be when the students become employees
fordham • 09/19/24 09:29 AM ET
I look at that as a new beginning. A better beginning.**
NokieHokie • 09/19/24 10:00 AM ET
Problem less than 1% of college fball players get to the pros. 99.% of
fordham • 09/19/24 10:28 AM ET
That's not my problem. I don't care if they go to the league or not. Or if
NokieHokie • 09/19/24 11:16 AM ET
If reality was as simple as you think it is. Life would be so great**
fordham • 09/19/24 11:43 AM ET
Nope. A better system is when the athletes are paid employees and you can

Knight Commission. I say it for the 100th time lol**
40ozDistrict • 09/18/24 09:37 PM ET
I think we are there, particularly as teams with huge NIL budgets struggle.

Think bigger, much bigger. Let’s try to compete at the highest level. what
proudhokie2001 • 09/18/24 08:15 PM ET
Losing the Commonwealth cup is very painful, winning it barely registers.
wwhokie1 • 09/18/24 06:46 PM ET
Wins over UVA have definitely lost their luster compared to yesteryear
Zanderhokie • 09/18/24 09:22 PM ET

Ask NASCAR, Richmond raceway went from 110,000 to 51,000 capacity**
dolph • 09/18/24 04:30 PM ET

Bristol used to sellout, I think, 160,000 seats every race with a large
VT One • 09/18/24 08:52 PM ET

Gotcha. Didn't realize that.**
Pylons • 09/19/24 08:27 AM ET
Wow. That'd be akin to Lane Stadium going from 65K to around 30K**
Zanderhokie • 09/18/24 04:56 PM ET
