Virginia Tech AD Nixes Asst. Coach's Idea of Fining Hokies Football Players

It didn’t take long for Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock to issue a statement Wednesday regarding defensive coordinator Bud Foster’s controversial comments.

Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports noted Foster responded to questions about potentially fining players some of their cost of attendance scholarship money as a disciplinary tactic with the following answer:

We're going to look at that. Instead of, you know, some people got in trouble for getting up and punishing people at six in the morning. And obviously you need some discipline. I think that's one way that you can potentially do that, to control that a little bit.
