Question, why weren’t people outraged more over head coaches making 10Mil

Ok, a stream of conciseness not fully thought thru answer, but

Apples and Oranges. Every coach doesn't become a free agent at the end of
wwhokie1 • 04/16/24 03:22 PM ET
Your entire premise is wrong, no one is outraged that players are paid

You come out swinging for no reason, I didn’t even say I thought that way.
Stech • 04/16/24 02:57 PM ET
I think I agree with both of you
fsghokie • 04/16/24 03:29 PM ET
I do have a slight problem with you calling the NCAA "gutless." Given that

Idk, enforce anything consistently in the past 30+ years?

Your jail analogy is flawed though because the schools have the power to

Not really the Presidents are the puppet master
VTCALS72 • 04/16/24 10:30 PM ET
Ok … I disagree **
fsghokie • 04/16/24 10:53 PM ET
There's plenty of outrage to go around
Vippie1 • 04/16/24 01:40 PM ET
Another point to consider, this is a VT message board
HokieNoVA • 04/16/24 12:41 PM ET
that was probably always true though
MrBayAreaHokie • 04/16/24 12:49 PM ET
I’ve always thought it was ridiculous. Outraged? I don’t care enough **
CrystalCoveHokie • 04/16/24 12:32 PM ET
Since I am only me and can only speak for me, there is no way any one
VTCALS72 • 04/16/24 12:18 PM ET
Not me. I am far more bothered by permissive transfer guidelines than NIL $

If they haven't already said so, the courts will eventually say that

I wasn't aware of that. If so, the courts have their fair share in ruining

I don't think the fight is over,
Pylons • 04/16/24 05:28 PM ET
With that rationale, athletes should be able to change teams at halftime.
Maroon Baboon • 04/16/24 05:33 PM ET
Credit hours should be tied to transfer
Big12 guy • 04/16/24 04:13 PM ET
That would be a good idea IF the athletes were in fact students
VTCALS72 • 04/16/24 10:33 PM ET
Be careful my Big 12 friend
VPI 1924 • 04/16/24 05:34 PM ET
It's a good hill to die on.
Big12 guy • 04/16/24 07:49 PM ET
Not true in a lot of cases.
RJHokie • 04/16/24 05:45 PM ET
I understand your point....
Old Line Hokie • 04/16/24 11:43 AM ET
I think that mischaracterizes some things
