Don't be nice, tell us about Brooks... :)**

Palmetto Hokie • 05/08/24 10:36 PM ET
100% agree and have come to exact same plans. **
uber hokie • 05/08/24 07:28 PM ET
I totally disagree. GA spent 4 years at VT. Gave her all. Doing what she

Some people on this board have been upset and emotional after Brooks and

Georgia paid for her VT education with her play. Period.

I can’t tell if you are trolling or literally don’t understand facts
HokieAl • 05/08/24 01:14 PM ET
read up the chain
thunar • 05/08/24 01:48 PM ET
Oh I read it all. Thank you for confirming your stance
HokieAl • 05/08/24 03:21 PM ET
What facts have i ignored? What contradictions?
thunar • 05/08/24 03:25 PM ET
Circular reasoning. Brooks et al* coached her to A-A status.
TomTurkey • 05/08/24 03:10 PM ET
This is the bartering system where one good or

Buyers got what they paid for. Didn't extend their car warranty. **
TomTurkey • 05/08/24 08:36 PM ET
Your opinion. Other don't agree.**
thunar • 05/10/24 10:35 AM ET
Of course...And it won't change.**
TomTurkey • 05/10/24 10:55 AM ET
He has to be trolling... He can't be serious, right?**
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 01:15 PM ET
Nope, fact. She literally fulfilled her scholly requirements.**
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 12:37 PM ET
Where is these "scholly" requirements at? Can you send me a copy?**
thunar • 05/08/24 12:49 PM ET
You can google it yourself if you're curious.**
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 12:50 PM ET
i have. I haven't seen anything like what your saying.**
thunar • 05/08/24 12:54 PM ET
Feel free to explain why you think she hasn't. I'm waiting...**
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 12:56 PM ET
Strawman. Because it doesn't exist.**
thunar • 05/08/24 01:01 PM ET
It seems like you never have a direct answer for anything. Again, why would
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 01:02 PM ET
🤦‍♂️**
TomTurkey • 05/08/24 01:10 PM ET
i literally just answered directly. you asked why i dont think she has
thunar • 05/08/24 01:09 PM ET
You are suggesting there are no requirements for obtaining a scholly?**
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 01:12 PM ET
No. I am saying what your saying about them doesn't exist.
thunar • 05/08/24 01:20 PM ET
And again, how has Georgia not fulfilled them?**
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 01:21 PM ET
She has met the requirements to get and maintain a scholarship.
thunar • 05/08/24 01:52 PM ET
Sure it does. That is factual. You can have the opinion bout whether it was
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 01:54 PM ET
It is not a separate argument it is the argument. Are you forgetting
thunar • 05/08/24 02:18 PM ET
I never said a scholly was successful. I said she fulfilled her obligations
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 02:31 PM ET
The TV revenue comes from fans watching and
thunar • 05/08/24 02:54 PM ET
Yeah, but that is much different than a direct donation to the university.
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 03:04 PM ET
How is that relevant? Do you not think donors watch the games on TV?
thunar • 05/08/24 03:23 PM ET
To the extent that donors give "everything a player has" is that the donor
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 03:32 PM ET
Whether the relationship is direct or indirect , the fans and donors do
thunar • 05/08/24 03:57 PM ET
Again, have all the opinions you want. Acting on them is a separate matter.
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 04:03 PM ET
Probably the LOI. I've never seen one, though.**
TomTurkey • 05/08/24 01:11 PM ET
Thinking back, what ticked me off about Brooks leaving was...
EDGEMAN • 05/08/24 11:40 AM ET
I think the fans really adored her.
MrFantastic! • 05/08/24 02:39 PM ET
Like she "should have known better." 🤔 🤦‍♂️**

This is new for fans and athletes. We'll all eventually adjust. Our hero

If you offered me half a million for a one year job, I’d be gone
HokieAl • 05/08/24 08:51 AM ET
It’s pathetic the way some of our fans have reacted but not surprising. **

Pedulla says hold my bullet proof vest.**
TomTurkey • 05/08/24 01:13 PM ET
She's getting 500k? Frankly, GA gave 4 years + her mentor bolted +
VT757to276 • 05/08/24 09:12 AM ET
No. I was using an example from the men’s team (Kidd)

If fans are getting the short end, that's not on the players. That's on the

Transfer portal was created by the NCAA in 2018
thunar • 05/08/24 11:34 AM ET
The schools being greedy and restricting players' rights is what started it**
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 12:14 PM ET
But they didn't create this remedy that VTRockie is talking about.
thunar • 05/08/24 12:21 PM ET
Had the schools been proactive and not greedy, it probably wouldn't have
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 12:24 PM ET
Some one else not taking action doesn't justify a worse action.**
thunar • 05/08/24 12:35 PM ET
It's not a worse action. That's an opinion, just to help you out.**
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 12:36 PM ET
I keep up fine. Written word is left up to interpretation. So
thunar • 05/08/24 01:00 PM ET
So is you saying its not a worse action is also an opinion. **
thunar • 05/08/24 12:52 PM ET
Umm I just said it was my opinion. Even when I try to help you, you can't

MrFantastic! • 05/08/24 11:01 AM ET
People keep pointing out that in the business world
GoFightingGobblers • 05/08/24 11:26 AM ET
Big donors will tire of this crooked system.**
MrFantastic! • 05/09/24 03:58 PM ET
That analogy is not quite right b/c it is an extra employer benefit
HokieAl • 05/08/24 07:07 PM ET
Great post!**
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 07:43 PM ET
True**
thunar • 05/08/24 11:38 AM ET
I've been saying that forever. The system has been broken for 2 decades.**
NokieHokie • 05/08/24 11:04 AM ET
Looks like you only see your side, too. There’re lots of sides to a story.**
Hoakie82 • 05/08/24 08:41 AM ET
It’s the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. **
