TechSideline.com Senior Staff Writer Andy Bitter joined The Fast Lane on Wednesday, June 24 and discussed:

  • If the hire of new AD Brian White has "James Franklin" written all over it?
  • How much of the process and vision of hiring AD Brian White is what Virginia Tech needs?
  • How committed is Virginia Tech to shifting from "do more with less" to "do more with more?"
  • Can Virginia Tech expect a boost in athletic department fundraising & revenue generation similar to what AD Brian White oversaw at FAU?
  • Is Virginia Tech getting more of a salesman + businessman as an Athletic Director (compared to the past AD prototype of being an academic & administrative person)?
  • Whose schedule wish is more likely to come true for Virginia Tech fans: Andy Bitter's (Tennessee) or Chris Coleman's (West Virginia)?

About Tech Sideline

Tech Sideline is an independent publication, not affiliated with the university or its athletic programs, so we provide a unique perspective that appeals to the large and growing fan base of Virginia Tech Athletics.

Tech Sideline was launched on March 12, 1996 by 1987 Tech graduate (BSEE) Will Stewart as a small, personal web page. In 1997, the site evolved into HokieCentral.com, and in August of 1999, joined the SportsWar network of college sports web sites. In November of 2000, the site changed names to TechSideline.com, or TSL. Over the years, TSL has grown into what you see before you: a full-time Virginia Tech sports media company, complete with web site, podcast, YouTube channel, and large and active social media presences.
