@NickBrown33 I think this is the peak still will likely finish top 10. Realistically, if all prospects pan out, VT is back in the national championship race

@CiaphasCain40k @VigilantFox Tyson is very intelligent. Most of his arguments are based. The problem is, as it always has been, people only pay scientist for ways to make more money or push their agenda. Meaning you only get the information that helps them. The enemy isn't science, its the elite

@lovecraft1977 @ChrisMartzWX Not in Florida, not my monkey, but do you think the administration will be laid off or the police, construction, fire, and workers that do the blue collar jobs?

Statement from Senator Mark Obenshain on the Removal of John Rocovich from the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors

HARRISONBURG, VA — Senator Mark Obenshain (R-Rockingham) issued the following statement today regarding Governor Abigail Spanberger's removal of John Rocovich as Rector of the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors:

"John Rocovich has devoted decades of his life to Virginia Tech and the Commonwealth of Virginia. His record of service, leadership, and philanthropy is extraordinary. Few individuals have done more to strengthen Virginia Tech, and few have earned the respect of the university community to the degree that he has. I am proud to stand with John Rocovich.

That is why this action raises serious concerns. Virginia law permits the removal of a board member only for malfeasance, misfeasance, incompetence, or gross neglect of duty. Those standards exist to protect public institutions from political interference and to ensure that board members can exercise independent judgment without fear of retaliation.

Governor Spanberger has publicly identified no conduct that appears to satisfy that legal standard. If grounds for removal exist, Virginians deserve to know what they are. Transparency is not optional when the law itself requires specific reasons for such an extraordinary action.

What makes this decision especially disappointing is that Governor Spanberger campaigned on a promise to depoliticize higher education governance and to reduce executive involvement in the affairs of Virginia's universities. Removing the sitting rector of Virginia Tech without publicly stating a lawful basis appears inconsistent with those commitments.

This issue is bigger than any one individual. The precedent established today will apply to future governors and future boards at every public university in Virginia. Virginia Tech belongs to the people of the Commonwealth, not to any political administration. John Rocovich deserves fairness, and Virginians deserve an explanation. I call on the Governor to publicly state the specific reasons for this action and allow the public to judge whether they satisfy the requirements of Virginia law."

Senator Obenshain represents the Second District in the Senate of Virginia. The district includes the city of Harrisonburg and the counties of Bath, Highland, Page, Rockingham, and Augusta (part.) He is a member of the Senate Committees on Courts of Justice; Commerce & Labor; Agriculture, Conservation, and Natural Resources; and Finance and Appropriations.

@AndyBitterVT They are wasting so much money…. Why?

[Robert Elsaid @relsaid]

@DriftVT The NIL budget in all sports are in jeopardy and more likely cut or gone

@Boitnott Sounds like we have a champion

@Pdunn1776 @recruits_cfb Usually a snitch is implicit and only gives info to cover their own skin. Reporting when your not involved is not the same as snitching, that’s called a witness or victim

@TylerFitch1 @recruits_cfb You made me think about this more 1+15=16 the round number for the SEC…. I’m not sure if the rest of college football would care
