Besides the money aspect, I’m revolted by the lack of common interest
HokieAl • 06/24/24 02:55 PM ET
Pro leagues have more of an "old money" mindset, long term goals

What a great analogy. It's also why I think PE is coming. The cats
Big12 guy • 06/25/24 10:09 AM ET
PE?**
Femoyer Hokie • 06/25/24 10:51 AM ET
Private Equity. Business people. Do you really think that AD's
Big12 guy • 06/25/24 11:02 AM ET
I don't know enough about PE so maybe you can help me.
VTCALS72 • 06/25/24 04:44 PM ET
So, Private equity has a reputation, that is for sure - but
Big12 guy • 06/26/24 11:00 AM ET
So that boils down to 2 things
VTCALS72 • 06/26/24 12:07 PM ET
Not how i see it. What University is set up with licensing their own
Big12 guy • 06/26/24 12:24 PM ET
And that is no different now than it was 50 years ago
Vienna_Hokie • 06/24/24 06:54 PM ET
I think these "leaders" are going to have to find out the hard way that
Maroon Baboon • 06/24/24 05:06 PM ET
IDK, ever talked to a UGA, Bama. Ohio State, Michigan, etc fan?
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/24/24 09:36 PM ET
I can't speak for others. But no one wants that.
Oscar the American • 06/25/24 11:15 AM ET
Lamar Hunt wanted to move a team he didn’t own?**
mancunian • 06/25/24 04:39 PM ET
Yes.
Oscar the American • 06/26/24 01:34 PM ET
Even the NFL wouldn’t let a man own two clubs at once.
mancunian • 06/26/24 02:23 PM ET
Good post. Real SEC fans and real Big Ten fans want to play the conference
Maroon Baboon • 06/25/24 03:02 PM ET
No idea how my last post repeated itself inside the same post. But it did.**

Being a Toledo Rocket guy, I just figured it was an OSU thing. **
Big12 guy • 06/25/24 11:53 AM ET
And fans buy tickets for a winning teams...
mjfhokie • 06/24/24 09:17 PM ET
Good competitive football where the outcome is not
Big12 guy • 06/25/24 11:09 AM ET
If I’m honest, this is maybe a transition from one to the other
hokieZ71 • 06/24/24 03:42 PM ET
I think the question revolves around.........
2hhoop3 • 06/24/24 04:23 PM ET
I've gone from being a fan to being a casual observer**
CrystalCoveHokie • 06/24/24 03:24 PM ET
Looking back in time …
83Hokie • 06/24/24 05:45 PM ET
My story exactly - except never was much into baseball...
RTFC • 06/25/24 10:59 AM ET
Yep, all of this applies to me as well
83Hokie • 06/25/24 05:28 PM ET
I’m definitely with you! **
VPI 1924 • 06/24/24 06:33 PM ET
The Next Strike
VPI 1924 • 06/24/24 06:36 PM ET
There is literally nothing preventing that
Beerman • 06/25/24 01:58 PM ET
i will second that!!!! **

ancient alien 2018 • 06/24/24 07:44 PM ET
Think I met you in Roswell back in’47**
VPI 1924 • 06/24/24 08:05 PM ET
Graduated in 1924. Born in 1902**
VPI 1924 • 06/24/24 07:51 PM ET
So, you are 122 years old or thereabouts.
RJHokie • 06/24/24 08:05 PM ET
I’m afraid so!**
VPI 1924 • 06/24/24 09:30 PM ET
The first or the second description?**
RJHokie • 06/24/24 09:36 PM ET
At this point, I think you just scrap athletic scholarships altogether **
CrystalCoveHokie • 06/24/24 06:53 PM ET
That will force the corrupt NFL into the minor league business **
VPI 1924 • 06/24/24 06:42 PM ET
Same here.
DMaroonHokie • 06/24/24 06:18 PM ET
Me too, but part of that has been because VT football has been awful.
