SEC simultaneously getting Texas/Oklahoma & 12 team playoff, but nothing to

do with each other. That may be the most insulting statement I’ve heard in a long time. He must really think people are incredibly dumb to buy that BS.

I prefer TerryD’s we’re selfish and proud of it, to selling that bunch of malarkey and thinking we are stupid enough to buy it.

Interesting observation, I wonder how much of this is SEC v B1G?
Stech • 04/25/22 11:18 PM ET
Well that was a pleasant read :)
Vippie1 • 04/25/22 02:41 PM ET
I agree with much of his points/opinions. Two things I also am worried

College athletics are clearly broken. No one seems to have any idea how to

My plan would be for UVA to share their $14.5 Billion endowment...
Old Line Hokie • 04/24/22 11:10 PM ET
Wow! That's a SUM. But not for Athletics.
HOO86 • 04/25/22 10:28 PM ET
I told my nieces who attend UVA that...
Old Line Hokie • 04/26/22 02:57 PM ET
What steps is UVA taking for the NIL right now? TIA**

HOO86 • 04/26/22 09:39 AM ET
UVA hired a consultant regarding NIL
HOO86 • 04/26/22 09:38 AM ET
Gotcha, thanks!**
Stech • 04/26/22 10:05 AM ET
Very impressive fundraising for any school, but especially a public school.**
Stech • 04/25/22 10:31 PM ET
Love for UVA to bail out ND and donate to our19 billion dollar endowment :)**
goldendomer • 04/24/22 11:13 PM ET
LOL UVA may need contributions to ours. Need to catch Michigan.**
HOO86 • 04/25/22 10:31 PM ET
Classic...bragging about endowments....;) ND uses theirs independently....**
RTFC • 04/25/22 01:54 PM ET
Duke and Pitt have healthy ones too.**

I agree with Swarbrick about the NIL. It wasn't originally intended for...
Old Line Hokie • 04/24/22 03:52 PM ET
Wasn't intended, but people had to see it was inevitable.
wwhokie1 • 04/24/22 11:46 PM ET
I don't think the transfer portal was even around when NIL first came up.
Old Line Hokie • 04/25/22 12:31 AM ET
Swarbrick is likely wrong.......

Everyone is selfish
TerryD • 04/24/22 08:42 AM ET
Everyone has self preservation in them, but some have more than others.

My daughter and daughter in law are registered nurses
TerryD • 04/24/22 11:07 AM ET
Thanks to your daughter, and you’re right, not many if any running college
Stech • 04/24/22 01:26 PM ET
None work in college athletic departments, apparently
TerryD • 04/24/22 11:05 AM ET
If you ran an athletic department, you'd not pursue
Pylons • 04/25/22 08:46 AM ET
Yes indeed
TerryD • 04/25/22 10:22 AM ET
This paragraph I found pathetic if not comical.

No one commented on this paragraph:

If we became VT Hokies Athletics, Inc. can we move the team to Nova?
Truthahn • 04/25/22 11:39 AM ET
Good point, but Swarbrick is retiring soon right?**
Stech • 04/24/22 01:28 PM ET
I think ND will have a lot of company and will be a fun “division”
Femoyer Hokie • 04/24/22 09:07 AM ET
I just wrote something similar, I agree with most if not all of it.**
Stech • 04/24/22 12:13 AM ET
Everyone who follows this board needs to read this…and weep.**
PaNDalum • 04/23/22 11:16 PM ET
Frankly, the split can’t come soon enough **
CrystalCoveHokie • 04/24/22 12:18 AM ET
He’s projecting 12+ years, which is death by a thousand cuts. Of course
Stech • 04/24/22 07:19 AM ET
Yep, very very sad to read that.**
