I’ve read several articles, including the Yahoo piece from yesterday, and the bolder statement is certainly debatable.  The talent’s not being developed, which will become apparent in the years to follow.  And your 2020 recruiting class is worse than any London ever brought in for us.

The California law doesn't take effect until 2023.  A bill introduced in Florida today will take effect in 2020 if passed.  Similar bills have been introduced in New York, Illinois and South Carolina.  Indiana (Notre Dame) and North Carolina are expected to have similar bills introduced this week.
The dominoes have started to fall!

North Carolina, South Carolina and New York all have similar bills before state legislature right now.  In my opinion, the NCAA will cease to exist in a few years.  At least in the way we have come to know the NCAA.  The athletic departments of each university (and as a collective group) hold all the power.  The NCAA doesn't have any discernible talent or skill.  Without an agreement with the power athletic schools, the NCAA doesn't have anything to sell to the general public. The athletic departments of Alabama, Clemson, Texas, USC, etc. have tons of power with the product they can sell.
The NCAA will consist of the "Group of 5" before long.  The "Power 5" conferences will operate as a sort of "minor leagues" of professional sports.

Just a little curious about this....are you saying that Coach Austin listened to you and used him that way you suggested?  I just would like to know how many practices you go to, how many drills you run, etc, etc, etc,

IMHO, Jamie Harless is the best h.s. coach in Virginia without a title.  He's turned a perennial doormat into a top-level 3A program.  Nothing against the Beavers, but LB wins going away.

I don't know who you are referring to exactly.  I can assure you, Galax coaches and administrators are on here often!  Shawn Knight from the VHSL was on record in an article in the Roanoke Times pointing to complaints from Glade in respect to the Galax game being moved.  He is in charge of competition for VHSL.  It's his job to determine when and where playoff games will be played.  I don't believe anyone is disputing the fact that Chilhowie didn't want to play Galax on turf.  Not sure why though.  They were clearly the better team.
I understand the ship has sailed in terms of public opinion on where complaints came from.  Believe what you want.  I couldn't care less.  My only point is, if you believe Mark Dixon isn't up for a challenge, you clearly don't know Mark Dixon!  Complaints didn't come from him.

Exactly!  Galax would happily play Central!

Um. Not true. Galax didn't have it moved. Galax didn't make the call, VHSL did after they visited the field AFTER Galax had spent thousands of dollars on new cleats for the kids to play on a muddy field. From my understanding a complaint came from a parent of the team that played the week before. Galax actually suggested to play at Rural retreat, which is a grass field. Everyone saying that Galax had it moved to turf because they didn't want to play on grass is absurd. They hadn't lost but one game on grass since they started playing on a turf field in 2017. They have a better record on grass than turf the past two years. Lol

Actually, testimony is a form of evidence but go on 

Not the best choice of words considering the reason behind this thread in the first place...

I'm not exactly a VT fan but right is right and wrong is wrong.  The NCAA gets things wrong more often than not!  Roast their asses SVP!
 

Am not sure if Heritage High school is in the Roanoke times top 10 picking area...
I did see were they played Vance High school from Charlotte NC and lost 35-7...That's a very TOUGH week one opponent (Nothing to hang head about)
Vance has a good shot to win state in 4AA this year...

If he is indeed guilty, he should not even darken the premises of any event. If he is guilty of harassment, “going out like that” serves him right. He brought it on himself. 

I believe the rule is, you can’t turn 19 before August 1st. Plenty of kids turning 19 shortly thereafter though!

Completely understand that. My younger daughter will turn 15 halfway through her freshman year and wasn’t held back. But if a kid is turning 15 in January, they didn’t play football as a 15 year old freshman. 
Semantics, I suppose but all things in this circumstance aren’t equal. As @jonah58 said, the presumed advantage is being a 19 year old senior football player.

Dang, if it's in Grayson Co. on Thursday, you won't hear anything about it until Saturday...
