Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster created some unexpected buzz Wednesday when he suggested Hokies student-athletes should be fined for certain acts that disobey team rules, and yes, it’s as insane as it sounds.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch posted a picture of the purported fine system, which ranges from $5 for arriving late during a study hall session to $100 for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

According to Mike Barber of the Times-Dispatch, repeat offenders could be fined up to $1,600, and the ultimate punishment was being left off the roster for a potential bowl game.
