Virginia Tech Transfer Portal Tracker: Brent Pry's firing opens unique window

On Sunday Afternoon, the Virginia Tech Hokies finally pulled the plug on Head Coach Brent Pry giving the fanbase what they wanted. The Hokies embarrassing loss at home to Old Dominion proved to be the final straw as the team started the season 0-3. While the firing had to be done, the Hokies in a unique way did right by the players with when they fired Brent Pry.

A player loses their ability to redshirt after they've played 4 games so by firing Brent Pry after the 3rd game, each player can decide if they want to play out the season or if they want to redshirt and potentially transfer. By firing a Head Coach, a 30 day transfer portal window opens allowing the players to pick out their next program.

The NCAA rules state that a player can't compete for two schools in the same year but, the players can enter the transfer portal now and pick their next school allowing them a head start on the process. Virginia Tech could see it's roster fall apart but, in an era where the players have more power than ever the Hokies did right by their team.
