Are those quotes from Rosa Parks properly cited? Might be able to ring him up with plagiarism charges as well.

The page behind is almost certainly an annotated bibliography.

What? UNC cheats with fake classes? Imagine that.

As ugly as it is, I'm glad some participants are telling the truth.

This needs to get fixed, both for the universities and student athletes.

That's trouble... Liberty will really get after ya.

Is anything going to come of all of these violations, confirmed or not? Is their cheating or free-A's-for-athletes deal all settled and done?

It wouldn't surprise me if any former athletes, and maybe other students, sue UNC for robbing them of an education.

I feel for the former, and current, students who weren't athletes. This scandal is making the entire school look like a joke.

That's the worst part, as the school generally has a great reputation. That department was a disaster.

I'm waiting for actual punishment. I have less than 0 confidence that the NCAA can handle things appropriately.

And yeah, its been dead here for awhile. Where'd everybody go?

Good question. I like to talk Hokie sports, but I can't bring myself to start at the other spots

247 is a constant bitch-fest between the old school guys who think Frank can do no wrong and the guys who wanted him fired 2 years ago. (Plus the whole paying thing)

The Key Play is full of kumbaya singing band dorks. Have an idea that goes against the establishment, and prepare to be banished. And their ongoing (not funny) 'jokes' make the comments pretty unreadable.


Come out of your summertime holes, Hokie fans.

I know a few of us have been around, but there also hasn't been much VT stuff to talk about.

I haven't seen 46&2 in a long time and he was one of the other guys here that would venture off the team board. I'm guessing work and woman have him in hiding.
