I wish players would play for the team and school instead of $$$**

South Park had a great ep years ago about NCAA not paying players.

“No benefit”? None whatsoever ever?
vthokieq • 01/05/25 05:37 PM ET
As a college grad I feel pretty honest calling college a grift…..
cvillehokie07 • 01/05/25 07:18 PM ET
You’re certainly entitled to your opinion.

Psychology major here, it’s just as useless. Slap in the face or not you’re

Part of the problem was that it was school employees more than schools who

Tell me what you think about the the following:
Pride_and_Joy • 01/05/25 01:45 PM ET
It’s because of the fans that they have the opportunity to play. Like it
ChEHokie78 • 01/05/25 04:01 PM ET
Then quit coming.
Pride_and_Joy • 01/05/25 05:12 PM ET
I think it's more fans wishing things hadn't evolved to where we are.
Pylons • 01/05/25 02:13 PM ET
Especially with no rules
TomTurkey • 01/05/25 02:45 PM ET
Wish the Schools and team wouldn't make as much money
1947Sunbowl • 01/05/25 01:33 PM ET
That is no longer the model......
2hhoop3 • 01/05/25 01:12 PM ET
It is also happening in high schools !! What a shame**
STEAMBOAT • 01/05/25 01:32 PM ET
Hence my reference.....
2hhoop3 • 01/05/25 01:39 PM ET
The fans get the bad end of the deal !!**
STEAMBOAT • 01/05/25 01:45 PM ET
As opposed to the players who got the short end of the stick for decades
Pride_and_Joy • 01/05/25 01:47 PM ET
And ultimately, more than coaches or players, the school is the attraction.
Hokie 04 • 01/05/25 01:53 PM ET
The people running the schools are motivated to
Pylons • 01/05/25 02:28 PM ET
Right, but they have the ability to yank the rug out from under athletics
Hokie 04 • 01/05/25 02:41 PM ET
Athletics makes money for athletics (and local biz), not for "the school"
Pylons • 01/05/25 03:02 PM ET
Agreed that weak leadership (fear of doing what's right) is to blame**
Hokie 04 • 01/05/25 03:32 PM ET
Why is it “right” to pull the rug?
Pride_and_Joy • 01/05/25 05:09 PM ET
What do you mean the fans are the only ones who care about Tech?
Pride_and_Joy • 01/05/25 02:02 PM ET
Care meaning have no profitability goals, in fact hoping to lose more money
Hokie 04 • 01/05/25 02:43 PM ET
Just because there is no financial return
Pride_and_Joy • 01/05/25 05:11 PM ET
Because fans were the ones who truly loved the school/team and paid for it.
Hokie 04 • 01/05/25 01:50 PM ET
Maybe some fans. Some are fair weather
Pride_and_Joy • 01/05/25 02:00 PM ET
I'm not sure if you are really late or really early
