I understand that, 🏈 &🏀 have been Pro Sports for decades, with the kids

the only ones not getting paid in a Billion dollar industry IMHO. So I am not tainted by them getting paid. I am tainted by Jimbo Fisher getting 76 million for doing a crappy job on the field. That said, I am very concerned about all the Olympic Sports getting scholarships, but I think or hope they resolve through Academic Scholarships without pay. The GPA’s of our Olympic Sports are usually outstanding, with most if not all having to go through regular admissions to be accepted.

I would think a 2 year lawsuit would be REALLY fast for this kind of thing.

Why does VT want a P2 invite?
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/22/23 07:54 PM ET
I’m ambivalent; but the flip side is
Marooned • 12/22/23 08:03 PM ET
Neither because it is possible FSU could receive an invite to the P2 table
VTHokie2000 • 12/22/23 07:27 PM ET
FSU to B1G

Why do we want to go to the SEC?
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/22/23 07:55 PM ET
True, but we’ll need those bucks to compete in other sports (e.g. softball)
Federal Hokie • 12/23/23 04:44 PM ET
Same said when we went to the Big East and ACC, but our recruiting improved

It's easy enough to view Jimbo as some kind of hustler or pirate, but what

I’m not attacking Jimbo, I’m pointing at the flawed system that got that.**

Some people would say who cares what happens to the Olympic Sports?
VTHokie2000 • 12/23/23 10:49 AM ET
If we went with UVA, UNC, and NCState we would win our share.
4x4hokies • 12/22/23 11:06 PM ET
I seem to remember the same thing being said about VT to the ACC. **

The SEC has fewer programs though.

Crash and burn

They belong with Texas. **
Big12 guy • 12/22/23 08:58 PM ET
They do. But I suspect they'll be kissing the feet of Ohio State instead. **
HOO86 • 12/22/23 09:44 PM ET
Yep, they will be a witch either way. (didn't want to say a bad word). **
