The proposal to increase funding passed. Nancy Dye voted against it, everyone else voted in favor of it. So almost unanimously but not quite.

I think pretty much everyone agrees that at least part of the problem is we don't have the budget of some of the top 20 teams. Where does their money come from vs where does our money come from? Are we behind in every facet? By that, I mean ticket revenue, tv revenue, school subsidies, student fees, donor contributions, etc. Are we lagging in every category? Or are we okay in ticket revenue but way behind in school subsidies, etc? How does our budget compare?

I'd be curious to see how we compare. Partly how much money we're bringing in. But also how do our campaigns operate vs other similar schools. It looks like we have a couple of different NIL programs. Is that correct, and do other schools also have several campaigns? Would we be better off with just one bigger program vs several smaller ones? How do our campaigns interact with donors vs other campaigns? I gave a small amount to Triumph but haven't heard much from them, which surprised me a bit. Does VT have one campaign that they'd prefer the money goes to? Or are they all basically equal? What percent of our exiting transfers are doing so because they feel like they'll get more money elsewhere, vs other reasons for leaving? That's probably a tough one to get a straight answer to. Do any of the campaigns give any kind of updates on where the money is going? How much make it to the players vs how much cover expenses? How much goes to football vs other sports?

I talked to a lady in the ticket office about 8/8/24. She said the printer had just received details and should be working on them. She was hoping they would go out last week (Aug 13, 14, etc). It sounds like that probably didn't happen, but it should be very soon if they're already a little past their goal.

I'm trying to list some of my tickets on stubhub. Hopefully someone else has experience with this and can help me. I'm a season ticket holder, so my tickets are stored in the VT app. If I want to sell two of my four tickets to a game, I see where I can choose which two of the four to list. But then I can't figure out how to list them as a block of two tickets, instead of as two separate listings for one ticket each. Can you do this within the VT app? Or can you list directly on stubhub.com without using the app to transfer to stubhub?
