The NFL already has its minor league, without spending a dime.
wwhokie1 • 09/27/24 11:17 AM ET
That changed though when the NFL decided to buy a stake in ESPN.

You’re from a Blue Blood 🏀 1st school, that viewpoint is different, sorry

Keep in mind, that I am a Toledo Rocket as well. I'm used to disappointment**

Agree, Pry "had" his chance, he, his OC and DC failed miserably so far !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 09/26/24 06:53 PM ET
You think 1 year of a record, attendance and TV eyeballs is their priority?
Stech • 09/26/24 06:48 PM ET
I think people want evidence that Virginia Tech can do it without Beamer
wwhokie1 • 09/27/24 11:22 AM ET
They’re looking @ fan support a lot, we have not wavered n spite of results

Still don't understand the UVA love here.

National university that adds a semblance of academic integrity?**
CrystalCoveHokie • 09/26/24 05:25 PM ET
@Pylons time to chime in now 🤣**
Stech • 09/26/24 06:17 PM ET
Yep, everyone knows the way to enhance academics

CrystalCoveHokie • 09/26/24 07:38 PM ET
Didn’t realize there was that much difference in size, USC is public school

Get ahead of restraint of trade potential ruling & create the P1, timing is
Stech • 09/26/24 02:48 PM ET
The future of the P2 does not include other conferences, So why invite them
