I think it is personal for him, since he was a walk on, sorry I am with him

on this one. I have seen some underrated walk-ons at Virginia Tech and other schools prove a lot of people wrong. I don't understand if someone is paying their own way, why they would try to stop that. However, I think the bigger point in our lawsuit happy country right now, here comes another one. All of these lawsuits are going to slow the heck out of the resolution of just about everything in college sports. One lawsuit, just ties up another one. Many think that the ACC will just settle the cases quickly, but with so much at stake, why would they?

Not allowing walk ons would level the playing field somewhat.
Hokester • 05/15/24 10:33 AM ET
It would also allow G5 schools to have better rosters. **

With NIL, walkons are just another way to stack talent
HokieAl • 05/15/24 09:59 AM ET
Limit rosters to somewhere between 70 and 80. And, just a pet peeve of mine
Maroon Baboon • 05/15/24 11:41 AM ET
I have seen this proposed. It seems workable with the new transfer rules.
Truthahn • 05/15/24 01:20 PM ET
This. 1000 times over.**

Exactly. We've reached our scholarship limit so we can't offer you a
wwhokie1 • 05/15/24 11:27 AM ET
Exactly. It won't hurt anyone to reduce rosters.**
reestuart • 05/15/24 11:49 AM ET
Yes. A walk on occasionally earns a scholarship. But that's normally
wwhokie1 • 05/15/24 12:08 PM ET
Yep. I'm not sure how many walk-ons are truly walk-ons these days

True it had a good history. But it’s no longer needed
HokieAl • 05/15/24 11:09 AM ET
All good points, I could live with that. **
Stech • 05/15/24 12:08 PM ET

Big12 guy • 05/15/24 11:46 AM ET
Yeah, if they can't manage it with 85-100 man rosters, they need to find
