The Collegiate Times put out an op-ed written by their sports editor and TSLer Sam Mostow in which he announced that VT refused to release information relating to "all signed contracts between Virginia Tech and its NCAA-affiliated student-athletes signed since July 1, 2025" and called for more transparency in collegiate athletics. In my opinion, this information should be public because they are being paid much more than a lot of employees of Virginia Tech, and their money comes from VT students with the student fee.
