Appropriate, since their campus looks like an office park that might house a local bank HQ.

It screams "Community College," which I suppose is appropriate since they're appealing to the same base of potential students as NVCC.

Years ago we had a Russian white guy who was around that size. I regret that I cannot recall his name, but he never played and left the next year.

I hope you're right, but I don't think you are.

Hey look! VCU news everyone, and it's positive news! Haven't seen that for a minute or two.

Do you have any idea if they bother showing them the BDC anymore? Maybe a better use of time would be to go straight to the NIL office.

Yeah, but can the Nobel Prize guy shoot the 3? It's much more entertaining to watch basketball than laboratory science.

I'm not in favor of the idea, but you're obviously oversimplifying it when talking about college basketball. It's not just the player's salary, but is also the fan's ability to see the player in a VCU uniform and playing for the school, plus whatever benefits the player helps bring, such as...

I tend to agree with you. The guy is good, but he's currently slotted to be drafted in the second round. It's not like he'll suddenly become a lottery pick.
