What's depth chart for C position now? Another portal OL?**
hokie77 • 12/28/23 12:33 PM ET
Got a feeling we will lose 2 or 3 DTs, 1-2 LBs, and some DBs. **

OrlandoHokie • 12/28/23 03:41 PM ET
Do not think that can happen.
Atlee Hokie • 12/28/23 04:31 PM ET
Yeah. It’s a good thing I am not in charge.
OrlandoHokie • 12/28/23 06:35 PM ET
Go some more idiots in the booth.
Atlee Hokie • 12/28/23 06:39 PM ET
You think MOST would agree? More like “this is what I think”…

If you were right, you’d be getting a whole lot more likes…just sayin’…**
marcbvtgm • 12/28/23 01:48 PM ET
I miss getting bombarded with dislikes! :)**

dj97223 • 12/28/23 04:02 PM ET
Impossible to grade that unless they aren't showing up for practice,
reestuart • 12/28/23 05:02 PM ET
Because the academic scholarship performance requirements are quantifiable
UEMcGill • 12/28/23 04:10 PM ET
Grading papers also is subjective. I'm not saying it is desirable
dj97223 • 12/28/23 05:36 PM ET
There's a big difference in being run off and being counseled if you want..
Happy Dog • 12/28/23 01:53 PM ET
That's a very fine line though.**
NokieHokie • 12/28/23 02:01 PM ET
LOL get real. This ain't about education it's about winning football games!**
NokieHokie • 12/28/23 12:53 PM ET
it's about education when that's the only pay these kids can receive from
reestuart • 12/28/23 01:14 PM ET
They can stay in a school. It doesn't have to be VT. Sorry thems tha breaks**
NokieHokie • 12/28/23 01:16 PM ET
We have a different opinion....
2hhoop3 • 12/28/23 01:41 PM ET
I think they can stay and still have scholarship without playing. Can

2hhoop3 • 12/28/23 02:09 PM ET
that's my thought. It's especially evident what's going on with the top
reestuart • 12/28/23 01:46 PM ET
It's a perfectly reasonable disagreement. To be clear, I'd be fine with the
NokieHokie • 12/28/23 01:46 PM ET
Yeah, I don't think it should count against the roster limit.**
reestuart • 12/28/23 01:47 PM ET
then they should get paid actual money to move on.**
reestuart • 12/28/23 01:18 PM ET
I'm fine with that. They should be getting period. By VT. Not fans as "NIL"**
NokieHokie • 12/28/23 01:21 PM ET
Yeah. NIL is the forced tip of college athletics.**
reestuart • 12/28/23 01:31 PM ET
Yes LOL. Time to pay our servers a living wage! :)** ◄
NokieHokie • 12/28/23 01:32 PM ET
If they do that, how will the coaches eat???**
reestuart • 12/28/23 01:36 PM ET
Poor coaches, they have such terrible living standards! :)**
NokieHokie • 12/28/23 01:39 PM ET
Most people would not sustain the level of work load and competitiveness
proudhokie2001 • 12/28/23 02:03 PM ET
Nobody is forcing them to take the job.**
NokieHokie • 12/28/23 02:04 PM ET
The lack of a lazy river would be infuriating.**
reestuart • 12/28/23 01:45 PM ET
they do have some protection, I believe. Going off of memory, they can stay
BG Hokie • 12/28/23 12:37 PM ET
Yes, and players are well aware that their performance dictates their
proudhokie2001 • 12/28/23 02:07 PM ET
That's the case for a first-year coach.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 12/28/23 12:49 PM ET
Yeah, I think I read about it re: Deion Sanders and Colorado. Makes sense.**
BG Hokie • 12/28/23 12:54 PM ET
If true, that’s fair. **
Hoakie82 • 12/28/23 12:41 PM ET
I think it’s more along the lines of the program looking out for him.
