ODU Discussion

Well deserved.

Well deserved.

That’s 4 so far.
What’s going on?
TD and Collins had been here for a while.

May be deserved but man we are going to be very lucky to get those 6 wins.

So now if a player gets cut mid season for violating team rules or for disciplinary reasons can he immediately “transfer” to and play for another school? If that’s the case what’s to keep a really good player from simply doing something to get booted just so he can move on or up (so to speak) to a better or higher paying gig?

Not sure how they would be considered in good academic standing with the previous university (app St) as leaving mid semester and new school as well. For example, what classes begin on 10/22.
I get it that it seems academics are secondary these days. However, I would think university policies would apply.

I don’t think this is possible. A player can choose to sit out before playing a 5th game to preserve a redshirt, but that’s about it. Sure someone will try it, but that would likely negate any NIL payments at the current school.

I’ll add the integrity piece to the equation, most schools would not likely entertain someone that would be that selfish.

One thing that gives me hope is that JMU’s offense has struggled this season but put up 63 on ODU. Marshall also destroyed ODU’s defense. We have a pretty good offense 80% of the time, so maybe we have a shot to win this in a shootout.

Players aren't allowed to enter the portal until the official window in December, after the season is over. The only exceptions I found were for graduate transfers- who can transfer whenever, and players get a 30 day transfer window after any type of coaching change.
I'd assume these fellas getting cut will probably have the rest of their semester covered by scholarship, and then they'll have to either enter the portal, start paying for their college themselves, or head back home.

Ugh, 12pm kick.

Ugh, 12pm kick.

The good news, ESPNU covering so maybe a decent camera angle and more cameras. Also, hopefully better (Neutral) announcers. We shall see. I still will probably listen to our radio guys synced up with the tv.

Bad news- we play on national TV. Always feel like we lay an egg on TV.

I just watched the ODU/JMU game highlights..... While ODU is good and should whip us, that JMU team... wow. They look good. Also, it looks like we aren't the only ones getting crap refs.

The Pukes are a legit CFP contender this year.

If you look at other games, they have won .. have not looked unbeatable..D has looked good all year...O has been suspect to a certain degree just my humble opinion
