The Cost of Attendance is part of the scholarship. So basically, you are fining them for what they need to live on because NCAA Rules prohibit them from working. Which is ridiculous. Good job VT, you just found a way to violate a new NCAA rule..

Next, VTech just found a way to get negative recruited against. How smart of them. Go to VT, lose your COA.

Lastly, the whole NCAA lawsuit was about not treating players like employees, and this fine structure does just that. So it is extremely stupid. It really is not well thought out at all.

I hear the University President put the kabosh on it, with good reason. So this will never happen. But it should not have even got past the initial discussion phase without having been wiped out.

Some coaches really are not that smart. They may be good at their jobs, but they still aren't super smart. I wonder how smart that AD is at VT as well now.
