Not surprising. NCAA isn’t going to risk being called racist.
Didn't someone on here post that his sister committed to UGA for softball after this incident occurred? Easily could be disputed. NCAA is such a piece of ****
His sister goes there. So it’s easy to disclaim beyond the fact he transfered for football reasons but in today’s climate it’s just easier to sit it out from an NCAA perspective.
You already had morons like Al Sharpton talking about it on his show.
Does the NCAA put out an explanation for their reasoning? Im guessing they are too big of cowards to do so.
Can anybody tell me where VT stands right now? I'm vaguely aware that a bunch of players entered the transfer portal, including our (former) starting QB Josh Jackson and some other guys that started last year. Should I be worried about this upcoming season? Last year was a major disappointment.VT was able to flip Doug Nester from OSU. Any time OSU loses a commit, it's a good day

His sister signed a LOI for a softball scholarship a month after the incident. The NCAA didn't want the PR nightmare that Mars was sure to make it.Didn't someone on here post that his sister committed to UGA for softball after this incident occurred? Easily could be disputed.

Kind of a typical class from VT... top 30, some good athletes that will likely outperform their rankings, but not a difference making class, nor one that will get them over the hump against the top ACC programs.Can anybody tell me where VT stands right now?

I mean maybe. The SEC was also kind of shit, though not ACC level.They're not nearly as healthy or fresh in the CFP if they go through an SEC schedule.
College football USED to be a regional sport and was better for it, IMO.The fall off in the quality of college football over the last decade has been remarkable. Its the SEC vs. no other conference. Oklahoma has been good and so has Clemson but after that, not too many schools have top grade programs. Football in the PAC 12 has fallen off of the cliff. Check the attendance figures out there. UCLA barely averages 35K in the Rose Bowl and SC has dropped in the Coliseum (possibly some of it due to remodeling?). If the trend continues, CFB may end up being a regional sport in ten years.
When was it a regional sport? Before the mass consolidation of conferences which ate up some of them, the PAC-8; Big 8; Big Ten and the ACC all were top grade conferences with their teams vying for the National Championship.College football USED to be a regional sport and was better for it, IMO.
I don’t mean in the bowl games. You had all sorts of local rivalries that have now largely been lost. If I have to list them I will, but I’d rather not.When was it a regional sport?

College football, and college athletics in general, are regional. The BCS and Playoffs have expanded some of the interest nationally but if they expand the playoffs again, it will go back to being mostly regional.The fall off in the quality of college football over the last decade has been remarkable.
