Lovett has hit the portal per his “agent”** ◄
pokiehokie83 • 09/15/25 03:05 PM ET
Emmylou hits the portal as well.
Coattail Hokie • 09/15/25 08:25 PM ET
Some of us have joked players would transfer at half time to our opponents
likehokies • 09/15/25 05:55 PM ET
By the play of some of the players, many had already quit
Hokey Pokey • 09/15/25 04:35 PM ET
My question: Is this basically just recruiting, where they won't leave/
hoosnowahokie • 09/15/25 04:28 PM ET
Can't officially hit it until tomorrow but expect mass exodus when it does.
uber hokie • 09/15/25 03:40 PM ET
if they are leaving now they weren't in anyway- that's part of the problem**
bigbadbird • 09/15/25 03:46 PM ET
Or in his case they weren't playing any.**
uber hokie • 09/16/25 09:13 AM ET
Today’s players aren’t “in” for anything but themselves these days **
ModerateHokie • 09/15/25 06:38 PM ET
I know the writeup said his performance has gone down
VAHokie89 • 09/15/25 03:34 PM ET
who?**
bigbadbird • 09/15/25 03:13 PM ET
Assume if they portal that have to return NIL?**
ModerateHokie • 09/15/25 03:10 PM ET
They sure don't
Beerman • 09/15/25 03:14 PM ET
and their endorsement is no good if they aren't with the team**
ModerateHokie • 09/15/25 03:22 PM ET
Buyer beware
Beerman • 09/15/25 03:24 PM ET
my kid had one- there are conditions- as with any contract or it's not
bigbadbird • 09/15/25 03:30 PM ET
There's a difference between Revenue Sharing and 3rd party NIL
Beerman • 09/15/25 03:41 PM ET
What does that have to do with terms and conditions in a contract?**
marcbvtgm • 09/15/25 04:52 PM ET
I'm attempting to make a distinction
Beerman • 09/15/25 04:58 PM ET
If it has been already paid/delivered - maybe - depends on deal
RTFC • 09/15/25 04:15 PM ET
Correct!
Beerman • 09/15/25 04:33 PM ET
Some of the deals are personal appearances by
RTFC • 09/15/25 05:06 PM ET
The way out is term
Beerman • 09/15/25 05:30 PM ET
Show me where it says what the school's fanbase "likes" is relevant
RTFC • 09/15/25 05:52 PM ET
You can't require him to be in Blacksburg
Beerman • 09/15/25 06:09 PM ET
Sorry.
RTFC • 09/15/25 06:50 PM ET
I suppose someone can try and sue to change it
Beerman • 09/15/25 07:09 PM ET
depends on what the contract says. **
ModerateHokie • 09/15/25 03:24 PM ET
It appears that the players have the upper hand with these NIL deals. **
pokiehokie83 • 09/15/25 03:35 PM ET
That's why these things are nearly all one year deals**
Beerman • 09/15/25 04:43 PM ET
Absolutely!
Beerman • 09/15/25 03:29 PM ET
unless it hasn't been paid out yet.... these are usually strung out
bigbadbird • 09/15/25 03:16 PM ET
It's a contract
Beerman • 09/15/25 03:19 PM ET
Have you seen the contracts? If not, you have NO clue.**
marcbvtgm • 09/15/25 04:54 PM ET
Please point me to an instance of a player returning NIL money. Anywhere**
Beerman • 09/15/25 04:56 PM ET
signing autographs- radio appearances etc, aren't needed if you don't play
bigbadbird • 09/15/25 03:21 PM ET
Not needed, perhaps, but paid for.
Beerman • 09/15/25 03:25 PM ET
if the person that wrote the NIL deal is an idiot that may be true**
bigbadbird • 09/15/25 03:27 PM ET
I mean, I agree that the entire NIL dodge is idiotic
Beerman • 09/15/25 03:30 PM ET
Can't portal until January**
TomTurkey • 09/15/25 03:12 PM ET
Wrong- opens tomorrow for Tech and UCLA
uber hokie • 09/15/25 03:45 PM ET
VT and UCLA should trade rosters
sokohokie • 09/15/25 05:36 PM ET
I thought they have 30 days to enter the portal because Pry was fired.
pokiehokie83 • 09/15/25 03:15 PM ET
I believe they have to finish out the semester?**
bburgnative • 09/15/25 03:37 PM ET
That provision may still exist. Yes.**
TomTurkey • 09/15/25 03:17 PM ET
Not likely to be able to transfer until January for school purposes.**
hokietony • 09/15/25 03:16 PM ET
They won’t officially transfer until January,but the process starts now. **
pokiehokie83 • 09/15/25 03:45 PM ET
And if they refuse to play or mail it in the rest of the year? **
ModerateHokie • 09/15/25 03:14 PM ET
Red shirt is legitimate option. Depends on his NIL contract. **
TomTurkey • 09/15/25 03:15 PM ET
And so it begins. We can expect a lot more of this, unfortunately. **
Zanderhokie • 09/15/25 03:07 PM ET
Is losing players who go down 0-31 vs ODU a bad thing?**
hokienole • 09/15/25 03:13 PM ET
Probably not. But with a new head coach, who knows? **
Zanderhokie • 09/15/25 03:59 PM ET
someone needs a CB that keeps his back to the QB-**
bigbadbird • 09/15/25 03:17 PM ET
I assume the transfers are limited to those with a redshirt yr available.**
hokietony • 09/15/25 03:11 PM ET
yes, and there's a lot more of those than you think**
