When comparing baseball resources to softball resources head to head it is
more for sure (just like when comparing men's basketball to women's basketball when head to head versus each sport's peer group). Baseball is just more expensive to operate than softball (at any school at this level). However, when comparing VT baseball resources (including salaries) to ACC baseball peers, it is not remotely close to the top of the league. When comparing VT softball resources (including salaries) to ACC softball peers, softball is near the very top. And this year's scholarship allocation to VT baseball was lower (relative to the league's peers and overall roster limit) than softball's was relative to their roster size and league's peers. So operationally, when considering the support given to both, softball is much better funded relative to their softball counterparts than baseball is......hopefully both will continue to be better funded starting with this next academic year and that appears to be the case. It would be nice if softball had an improved stadium concourse/press box/overhang.....but they definitely have a beautiful practice facility....it is fun for Hokies Spring sports when both are winning!!
