Is Bond really not well liked? Don’t know him personally, and only heard his name a few times long ago...nothing negative. But then again, stuff can happen over the last 15 years. Does likeability matter when rules are being broken?

^^Interesting, especially if it's true that this whole 30 days leave with pay is meant to serve as a precursor to termination with cause. If the cause is severe enough, I don't think 30 days paid leave should be necessary. granted, I don't know anything about just what sort of NCAA infractions have taken place, nor am I a lawyer or have I read the entire contract. I'm just talking common sense (which doesn't always apply to legal proceedings anyway) If the report of termination is true, it probably means they simply made the termination effective 30 days from the first written notice. He'll remain on paid admin leave in the interim and not come back.

I don't really know what people think of him, but going by the general snideness and snark on this site, no coach is particularly well liked by the majority on here. We're very democratic that way. The fact that he appears to have seriously violated NCAA rules just gives permission for people to let loose a little more.

VT is a hard place for a coach because of the diverse set of usually critical voices. There are three forms of dislike that every coach faces from a majority of posters on here.
1. He/She is the enemy (coaches the wrong team). 2. He/She did not make the decisions I would make. 3. He/She does not favor my favorite player.
Those are in addition to the usual gripes that will usually surface about virtually anybody.

We really liked him at Marquette as well. I was a student during the later part of his tenure and he was always good to us. His son would hang out in the student section during matches.

What did he do? maybe he could wash dishes or become a janitor? A guy's gonna have to make a living!! GO HUSKERS I just watched a PBS Newshour segment last night that basically said that the food service industry has one of the highest stress and mental health rates in the nation (world?). Watching PBA Newshour stresses me out.
