Virginia Tech football players apparently assessed fines for missing meals, class, study hall
Posted Aug 28, 2015
Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock said he “had no idea” that football players were being assessed fines for violations such as missing team meetings or being late for meals, and he said the practice has been “discontinued” effective immediately. Images from a television monitor outside the Hokies’ players’ lounge on Wednesday night listed what appeared to be a fine structure and named players who already had been assessed fines.
