Not allowing walk ons would level the playing field somewhat.

Allowing only 85 on a team would require coaches to be much more selective when recruiting and would be a boon to those who are good at developing players.

Exactly. We've reached our scholarship limit so we can't offer you a

Stech • 05/15/24 10:36 AM ET
True it had a good history. But it’s no longer needed
HokieAl • 05/15/24 11:09 AM ET
