You have to love the NCAA...

From their own rulebook... "Student-athletes may not speak to other schools about transferring directly or indirectly through others (e.g., family members, former teammates, NIL agent, club coaches) until they receive notice that they have been input into the Transfer Portal." "Communicating with another Division I school’s athletics staff prior to entering the Transfer Portal can jeopardize a student-athlete’s future eligibility at that school. Existing recruiting rules prohibit communicating with a student-athlete who is enrolled at another Division I school prior to the student-athlete appearing in the Transfer Portal. These rules extend to indirect contact made by third parties on the student-athlete’s behalf (e.g., family member, scholastic or nonscholastic coach, advisor, former teammates). Certain violations of these rules can constitute a significant breach of conduct as it relates to the NCAA infractions process." Yet the transfer process enables the student-athlete to have a "do not contact" designation (Canady does not, but it got me to thinking and researching) What am I missing?

No guarantees, but is $250k worth it for our first official team natty?

If a million $$$ would buy us a Natty in softball, I'd spend it.**
Atlee Hokie 06/18/24 02:55 PM ET
It probably would

Don’t have to give it to the Hokie Way anymore if you’re
RJHokie 06/18/24 04:39 PM ET
I failed to add the disclaimer. If I had the money.**
Atlee Hokie 06/18/24 03:22 PM ET
You’re good for $240k? Hokie Nation can raise the rest right?**
hokiepro 06/17/24 11:13 PM ET
Who is she? Is this good for VT? **

Best pitcher in college softball since Angela Tincher
hokiepro 06/18/24 10:45 PM ET
Star pitcher for Stanford. Has two years remaining.

Why does the NCAA even bother to have a rule that will not be enforced?**
IB4TECH 06/18/24 08:41 AM ET
Not True. Enforced, but with little more than a slap on the wrist.
Hokie4Life_89 06/18/24 03:46 PM ET
Question for you, sir
Hockeydad 06/18/24 08:41 PM ET
Good Question... and one possible scenario
Hokie4Life_89 06/18/24 09:50 PM ET
That's great stuff! You are probably spot on!**

All that winking and innuendo would make a good SNL skit because

The troubling part about the whole thing is the handwriting was on the wall
RJHokie 06/19/24 10:55 AM ET
Because they can, I guess.
RJHokie 06/18/24 02:27 PM ET
"can jeopardize" as opposed to "will jeopardize" explains it all.**
laphroaig 06/18/24 05:08 AM ET
Do Not Contact
Hokie4Life_89 06/17/24 06:22 PM ET
Campbell just had 7 go into the portal.
philvt93 06/17/24 03:52 PM ET
I saw that. Something must have happened there.**
VTChip 06/17/24 03:55 PM ET
Maybe that's why we've heard nothing about portals into VT softball yet?**
laphroaig 06/18/24 09:08 AM ET
Maybe, but Campbell had a good year with some good players . . .
MidloHokie 06/17/24 09:52 PM ET
Not what happened there.
philvt93 06/17/24 10:02 PM ET
That makes sense
VTChip 06/18/24 12:08 AM ET
Well there's certainly "not a level playing field" there . . . .
MidloHokie 06/18/24 06:56 AM ET
Favoritism at work?**
RJHokie 06/18/24 02:29 PM ET
Nope. The field is literally not level. **
MidloHokie 06/18/24 04:48 PM ET
Definitely not good.
RJHokie 06/18/24 05:10 PM ET
The recruiting pitch is largely to parents who want their daughters in . .
