Men's basketball is the only other revenue sport at VT that

operates in the black. Shorting it on resources to get it out of the last place hole in expenditures will end that if something is not done this off-season.

Here's the bottom line: This program has 3 paths to take after this season

I don't agree with the notion that VT can't be better next year than we are

It has to be option 2 with a dose of a staff...
Jackie VT • 02/28/24 04:01 PM ET
I don’t think it’s necessarily about the quality pf the players
NC Hoke • 02/28/24 03:40 PM ET
Athleticism, athleticism, athleticism. So it is about the Jimmy's & Joe's**
BuffaloTraceHokie • 02/28/24 05:59 PM ET
Okay, which of our players do you consider unathletic,
NC Hoke • 02/28/24 11:15 PM ET
Most of the team, actually.

You didn’t answer my question.

Yeah, there's a reason we dropped off defensively post-Alleyne/Bede/Radford
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/29/24 11:20 AM ET
I could see Radford being the type player CMY might have recruited.

Excellent synopsis. Worth the subscription price!**
Femoyer Hokie • 02/29/24 11:32 AM ET
I would say quickness, hops and length

I’d agree with length with the current roster.

Thats for all colleges. Rarely do you see a 3rd sport be revenue producing

MY is below the national average in transfers out...**
GCHokie34 • 02/28/24 05:58 PM ET
Is our target performance somehow relative to the national average? If not,
King of Hokies • 02/28/24 11:09 PM ET
VT is well above average in men's basketball...
GCHokie34 • 02/28/24 11:15 PM ET
Right. So why do you want to compare an aspect of our coach's performance
King of Hokies • 02/28/24 11:54 PM ET
You're of the opinion that 2.4 transfers per year is high?
GCHokie34 • 02/29/24 12:07 AM ET
Thank you for providing relevant data this time**
King of Hokies • 02/29/24 06:47 AM ET
Don't think that number speaks to timing
