The case was brought by Shawne Alston, who was a running back for the West Virginia Mountaineers, and other student athletes. Elizabeth Prelogar, the acting solicitor general, argued in favor of the student athletes. Several of the court's conservatives expressed concerns that the NCAA's arguments are hypocritical or exploitative.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Virginia Tech is coming off of a much-needed bye, straight into the front lines of the No. But the Tigers have every weapon they need to win a football game. “They do a lot from different personnel groups to sub-packages, they’re playing a little more 3 downs, great job of mixing it up and getting it all taught,” Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente said. But Virginia Tech, notorious for their resiliency after a loss, has a shot to potentially scramble Clemson out of the college football playoffs. “At the end of the day we’re out there playing football, I don’t see a difference between this game and any other game,” Hooker finished.

The 6-2 redshirt sophomore from Ohio won his first start Saturday, and left Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney impressed. “Looks like a young Steve Young running around out there. Tough runner with really good size, an accurate thrower that really has no fear,” Dabo gushed. The 1-0 Cavaliers travel to 2-0 #1 ranked Clemson Saturday night at 8 p.m.
