But the important thing, with all that is happening in the world, is that it is "God's Plan" that he walk away from the Vanderbilt baseball team in the middle of the season to play football somewhere else.

Oh my. The ego.

I wish the kid all the best. I'm 50+ and still change my mind on things. Go for it young man and do what you feel is best for your future.

I wish I knew how the whole NIL thing works, from both the giving and the receiving side. Hypothetical: Let’s say that I am a rabid Vandy alum and basketball fan, with a net worth of, say, $25M (remember I said hypothetical). And I want to donate 10% of that to encourage athletes to come to Vandy. ...

I know you don't recruit 'em just to lose 'em, and I hope ( and believe) we will hang on. But as i've said before - having a high profile recruit in the fold for 2 years is valuable even if he ultimately leaves. It gets other recruits excited, creates interest among analysts, builds momentum etc. Th...

It was NIL and the transfer portal

I don't know how you can sugar coat the fact that we are arguably going into next year with less talent, experience, and hope than at any time as a VU fan sans 1 or 2 years. You're welcome to take this position, but I just don't buy it. I see a badass coach learning to adjust to the conditions in f...

If you think there is someone better out there for us…..good luck with that! Do you think that making the NCAA tournament is a pipe dream, and that only with extreme luck we can get there? I think that we will need to build and retain a legit SEC roster with much less NIL money than any other SEC t...

This year's graduates won't get the Alumni Lawn experience, but oh well...

Congratulations to all our graduating athletes, and from VandyManiacs everywhere... a huge THANKS!

I thought the site might have entered the transfer portal, or at least attended a Bruce Pearl barbecue.

Loyalty's great when it runs both ways. But when coaches can run off players as soon as they find someone they think is better, it's hard to blame the players for moving on when they find a better deal. And I'm not sure you can say "free education." Legit SEC athletes have rare talent, the...

Nyzier, we hardly knew you. Thanks for playing, us

Sources confirming Tyrin to auburn is no longer an option ..

This guy is easily the best Chancellor I've experienced from messaging and understanding the landscape around him. He is spot on regarding athletics and he is spot on with regards to ideological neutrality in education. With time he could be regarded as our best ever. He is refreshing.

I think the Chancellor has looked at the Vanderbilt Athletic soap opera and said..."This is ridiculous!" "Why do we want to have a third rate athletic program, yet try to be world class in everything else we aspire to do". He's a change agent and has a vision of what Vanderbilt c...

I notice there was no issue in traveling to Hawaii for an away game. One team, one time is one thing. Every sport every (or every other) year is totally another. The top football schools missed the boat of taking ONLY their football teams out of the NCAA. Top 64 teams would be a de facto playoff ev...

Everyone always says that Vandy could always go bowling in C-USA.

Or playing in Europe. Maybe China or Australia.

Those options that you mention sound, to me, more suited for a single guy than a family man with a small child.

BIG MONEY - I gotta figure out how to get that job.
