The things that forced layoffs and reductions in salary at VT last year. -- VTCALS72 06/24/2021 12:54PM

Pandemic years should be left out of this equation. I agree that VT -- reestuart 06/24/2021 1:18PM

The team being the players? Glad you agree... ** -- NokieHokie 06/24/2021 10:52AM

IDK. Just saying there could be some major shifts no one has considered. -- 40ozDistrict 06/24/2021 10:26AM

Collectively, they are. ** -- NokieHokie 06/24/2021 10:34AM

Agreed. I was speaking on a per kid basis. ** -- 40ozDistrict 06/24/2021 10:35AM

Okay. The point still stands. You're supposed to get paid when you generate -- NokieHokie 06/24/2021 10:37AM

Since get "paid" via scholarship seems to not count then do away with them. -- 40ozDistrict 06/24/2021 7:23PM

Fine by me. ** -- NokieHokie 06/24/2021 7:24PM

NFL development league -- whatIpostlike 06/24/2021 07:53AM

NCAA football is the developmental league. NFL just doesn't have to pay. ** -- reestuart 06/24/2021 08:23AM

They might have to now ** -- whatIpostlike 06/24/2021 11:25AM

They can't compete. They'd have to pay the employees. ** -- reestuart 06/24/2021 11:40AM

I know scholarships are awarded annually, but not managed that way. -- N2VT2 06/24/2021 07:21AM

Maybe not in football but absolutely in other sports -- Happy Dog 06/24/2021 10:22AM

I know. I think most schools will actually go that way, but who knows. ** -- reestuart 06/24/2021 11:15AM
