Coaches don’t want it on film**

I've seen this given as a reason and it just seems absurd. No one is out
AbsolutVT03 • 02/21/25 02:37 PM ET
I've always said why not charge $5 as we are always begging for money. Sure

I get the new coordinators stuff but at the same time are we going to run
AbsolutVT03 • 02/21/25 02:50 PM ET
The opposing team would look at it all.**
BG Hokie • 02/21/25 02:55 PM ET
Sure but they will get a lot more out of one than the other. You could even
AbsolutVT03 • 02/21/25 03:01 PM ET
Eh, I'm not as convinced as you are that it's a waste of time. I believe
BG Hokie • 02/21/25 04:15 PM ET

AbsolutVT03 • 02/22/25 12:52 AM ET
Not about running actual schemes? How is that even possible. You can keep
BG Hokie • 02/22/25 03:36 PM ET

This is another strange argument. How many spring games have there been
AbsolutVT03 • 02/21/25 02:45 PM ET

we're in no position to pass on a possible W
squarerootofone • 02/20/25 09:43 PM ET
I hope not. The fans enjoy it. It doesn't mean much
