Give The Award For Best Student Section Of The Year To Virginia Tech For Singing Enter Sandman After The NCAA Banned It
This is pretty cool and I’ll say it til the day I die. Student sections are a huge part of what makes college athletics great. Living and dying with the games, camping out, clever chants, the bands. The list goes on and on. Which is why Virginia Tech’s students dialing it up to an 11 is such an awesome moment.
I want to smash the NCAA and their no fun will never make sense policies any chance I can get. But there does need to be a little bit of context here.
I love making fun of the NCAA but they have a little loophole here that takes away the blame. Hosting the game in the NCAA Tournament as a “neutral site” is the line they used to ban Virginia Tech from playing their traditional entrance .
SI.com However, the NCAA wants to keep tournament environments as neutral as possible and has banned schools from playing traditional songs or anthems over the public-address system. But that didn’t stop Hokies fans, who took matters into their own hands by singing the heavy metal classic a cappella during Virginia Tech’s game against Chattanooga on Friday.
So hold on a second … the NCAA wants to keep games “as neutral site as possible” yet they host them in teams home arenas. You know what I take back everything I said before. Fuck the NCAA and their ass backwards policies. Only they could be so dumb to say a game is neutral when they very obviously have them at a team’s home arena so it’s better attended. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Amazing dumb by the NCAA go again get involved in a matter they didn’t have to. Also let the kids have fun. Morons.
