I think a big source of frustration for VT basketball fans

Is the fact that more money gets thrown at the football team in consecutive disappointing seasons but the same does not hold true for the basketball team. It is a double standard but that is life at Virginia Tech and most schools I would surmise. Life is not fair but that is the way it is. Life will go on. One mans trash is another mans treasure. As far as Coach Young goes I really like him and he is a good coach. I wish him and all our players that have played under him the best no matter where they end up at. It is a difficult business but all the VT players and coaches are getting paid rather nicely compared to average folks so there is that.

Yeah. I support both the football and basketball team but football is king.

So much of the idea behind increasing the athletics budget by $50-60MM
hokiehill1117 • 04/01/26 11:55 AM ET
NIL is the separator
Seikoh_04 • 04/01/26 11:17 AM ET
No point in increasing athletic budget
