a couple of things

1st NIL vehicle is Triumph, they have oversight by Whit or Virginia Tech 2nd contributors give to what they want to give (they give to football) 3rd. Coach Pry and staff has spent alot of time soliciting contributors to get NIL contributions. guess what they are pretty good. 4th NIL is not a kitty that VT allocates but based on demand. I dont know if Mike Young has been doing the sales pitch to contributors for NIL investment. Our women basketball coaches have been busy campaigning for contributors to give to NIL. The overarching framework is Triumph. They allocate based on what the contributors desire and what the market demands. Separately, the university can have separate fund to pay players (that is pay not names image and likeness) and with the court proceedings its going to be a 20 million dollar hit a year for all scholarship players. Then they can have their own NIL (for programs that can't do the separate soliciting. and we ask why cant coaches spend time to coaches between NIL soliciting, recruiting, transfers and then well they have to coach a team.

Yep - couldn't agree more.
Walkin` Willie • 11/27/24 06:52 AM ET
Did he advocate for it and was he told no?**
GoldCoast • 11/27/24 11:24 AM ET
Well, what do you think?

Welcome to the world of those of us who live here and ask questions.
saret • 11/26/24 09:39 PM ET
And people on here think I'm too harsh in my criticism. But you're right.**
saret • 11/26/24 09:50 PM ET
Actually, significantly more difficult.**
RJHokie • 11/26/24 09:44 PM ET
Sorry, but that knowledge is off limits to you and everyone else.
Atlee Hokie • 11/26/24 08:58 PM ET
Will the new rules and allowance for schools to pay players bring some
JACHokies • 11/26/24 02:43 PM ET
Don't know. Allegedly, one was said to be being worked on by the AthDept.
saret • 11/26/24 03:49 PM ET
The words "Ath. Dept." was a dead givaway nothing would/will happen W/O
ancient alien 2018 • 11/26/24 07:32 PM ET
It hasn't happened yet. Now you understand the frustration
saret • 11/26/24 09:16 PM ET
That info is only known by the NILs, which are not subject
saret • 11/26/24 01:51 PM ET
Unless you have a bona fide contact in the football and basketball
RJHokie • 11/26/24 01:14 PM ET
NIL information is not public. Its all speculation.**
TheFacts • 11/26/24 01:12 PM ET
And that is not a good thing.**
Atlee Hokie • 11/26/24 06:14 PM ET
Another Question

RJ, does the Hokie Club give donation amounts public for each
ancient alien 2018 • 11/26/24 08:16 PM ET
It used to be available until a few years after Whit came on board.
RJHokie • 11/26/24 08:28 PM ET
Thanks! WB and JB have to be given pink slips!!!!**

Here is a link to the named key people at Triumph.
saret • 11/26/24 01:57 PM ET
Even if I had the money, I wouldn't give a $1 to the NIL.
Atlee Hokie • 11/26/24 08:48 PM ET
:You, I and a lot of others.**
saret • 11/26/24 09:46 PM ET
Even if you obtained.......
2hhoop3 • 11/26/24 08:59 PM ET
Also true.**
Atlee Hokie • 11/26/24 09:05 PM ET
Kevin left I think over a year ago. At Bluefield State. Maybe earlier this
VintonHokies • 11/26/24 02:16 PM ET
Correct. He's on Bluefield State's staff, where Davon Morgan is head coach
Zanderhokie • 11/26/24 02:49 PM ET
News to me, but thanks for the info. However, it doesn't mean he
saret • 11/26/24 03:45 PM ET
He's still listed on Triumph's website as part of their staff
Zanderhokie • 11/26/24 04:42 PM ET
I assume the same.**
saret • 11/26/24 04:58 PM ET
Speculation that has not been denied by insiders**
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/26/24 01:28 PM ET
We paid them all 1 million dollars is my speculation. Has it been denied?**
UTPr0sim • 11/26/24 07:24 PM ET
This is another problem with NIL: the complete lack of transparency.
Zanderhokie • 11/26/24 01:39 PM ET
For those not old enough to remember or know…
Newt • 11/26/24 02:04 PM ET
Gee, lack of transparency. Who else has the same lack of transparency?
saret • 11/26/24 02:00 PM ET
Total lack of any transparency WRT NIL has bothered me since the beginning.**
