Circle back to these athletes that are hitting the portal in 5-10 years

I’d suspect many will regret their choice if it’s mostly about $. If an athlete has a year or two of success and gets an overinflated impression of their worth, and starts testing the waters for better nil deals, let them go and help them pack. They have underlying issues or are being given bad advice by friends and family. We have a great program and develop guys into awesome wrestlers and men.

Yeah, I think there' a false narrative (for all sports) with NIL

NIL isn't sustainable the way Iowa, Michigan, etc. are going right now

Schools with a sports-loving billionaire or two will have an advantage

Everything is not about $

You are probably right but see above and draw your own conclusion…**
emhokie • 04/12/24 09:39 PM ET
Well, based on the response, it sounds like it is not about money, which

I like and respect your optimism but…

Agreed... he's been transparent for a couple months**

"If TJ decides to leave VT" does not sound like a done deal to me. Let's

It’s one of many cryptic messages posted that would be better left
emhokie • 04/13/24 12:30 AM ET
Except now it looks like a big dog came to VT to try and poach TJ....

For most athletes, the relationships and education will be more impartant
UpperQuad • 04/12/24 02:22 PM ET
Wonder if you get the money and the relationships and education. That is

I think we're better situated with NIL than we think we are
donjfs3 • 04/11/24 08:31 PM ET
I think we are situated pretty well, but I still think there are a handful
larhokie • 04/11/24 08:42 PM ET
Eventually it probably will, hopefully not too soon.
