Dabo outraged one of the proposals is to not allow walk ons, next lawsuitđź”—

as a product of the current lawsuit if it goes through in his opinion. I know some think this will be rectified quickly, at the Basement Podcasters are saying that, but the legal world usually doesn’t work that fast, especially when there are all these counter suits. Explain to me how all of this ends fast. We haven’t seen a suit yet of a school being left out of a Conference. How about that one, do you think it might happen? Or has it already happened with Calimony? Will there be more?

Not allowing walk ons would level the playing field somewhat.

With NIL, walkons are just another way to stack talent
HokieAl • 05/15/24 09:59 AM ET
Limit rosters to somewhere between 70 and 80. And, just a pet peeve of mine
Maroon Baboon • 05/15/24 11:41 AM ET
I have seen this proposed. It seems workable with the new transfer rules.

This. 1000 times over.**

Exactly. We've reached our scholarship limit so we can't offer you a
wwhokie1 • 05/15/24 11:27 AM ET
Exactly. It won't hurt anyone to reduce rosters.**
reestuart • 05/15/24 11:49 AM ET
Yes. A walk on occasionally earns a scholarship. But that's normally

Yep. I'm not sure how many walk-ons are truly walk-ons these days

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. **
Stech • 05/15/24 12:08 PM ET
