We’ve been headed in the wrong direction for a while. Only thing

I can think of to stop it is to have viable leagues in football/basketball for people who don’t want to go to college and get paid. Seems like football will never achieve that with XFL folding.

Most bummed about VT’s position of having to eventually choose between trying to live in a playground with blue bloods or dropping a level.

Report: NCAA moves toward allowing athletes to be paid sponsors -- Stech 04/23/2020 9:21PM

Athletes will pick schools based on which get them the most sponsors. -- HokieJay 05/01/2020 3:52PM

This will be the death knell of any hope of reasonable parity in any sport -- HokieToph 05/01/2020 09:26AM

As long as players are not employees, ND is ok with it. ** -- TerryD 04/30/2020 1:57PM

I think that the court was going to force this anyway. -- HOO86 04/24/2020 9:58PM

Just another step closer to the NCAA going "pro" in sports ** -- VTHokie2000 04/24/2020 08:17AM

Just another reason not to donate ** -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/24/2020 12:33AM

Swarbrick had an interview today and stated that he expected -- PaNDalum 04/24/2020 12:29AM

ND plays a 2020 ACC-only schedule that doesn't count for the championship? -- J-Dub 04/24/2020 09:44AM

I think it would be something like a 9 game schedule for all -- Colonel Jessup 04/26/2020 09:50AM

Yes would count as conference game for ACC school only way it would work ** -- PaNDalum 04/24/2020 6:52PM

If I am ACC, yes, but I want concessions and a timetable to full membership -- VT ChemE 1986 04/24/2020 1:00PM

Swofford says that non conference games must be included because of ND -- TerryD 04/25/2020 1:26PM

ND should just skip the season instead ** -- TerryD 04/24/2020 9:27PM

I counter your stance with $$.** -- IB4TECH 04/24/2020 10:41AM

An indy only schedule would suck -- goldendomer 04/24/2020 10:27AM

I doubt seriously that there will be college football in 2020 ** -- TerryD 04/24/2020 09:56AM

50-50 i think ( maybe wishful thinking) -- goldendomer 04/24/2020 10:29AM

What about the Spring 2021, 6-8 game conference only option? ** -- J-Dub 04/24/2020 10:09AM

I like the idea. It could work. ** -- goldendomer 04/24/2020 11:21AM

But ND games don't count as conference game. -- J-Dub 04/24/2020 1:07PM

Depending on the final verbiage -- goldendomer 04/24/2020 12:13AM
