I have seen this proposed. It seems workable with the new transfer rules.

Why should team carry so many players when they can reload, and do, from year to year from the portal? It made sense to have so many when you had to depend upon developing recruits, but those days are gone. This is especially true if we have to pay everyone.

Not allowing walk ons would level the playing field somewhat.

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

I think it is personal for him, since he was a walk on, sorry I am with him
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
All good points, I could live with that. **
