GCHokie34 04/11/24 10:03 AM ET
Honest question,is he really worth 400K/year?Aren't there better options
HokieBrazil 04/11/24 11:02 AM ET
If he's getting $400K then someone thinks he is.**

Makes sense. Familiarity with the coach and $$$. His dad is director of

Big dogged by a school that doesn't want to be atheletically competitive
HokieRat 04/10/24 09:26 PM ET
But I keep getting told VT can NIL with the big schools. Vandy? **

Took the boy on a visit to Vanderbilt.

Took my girl and she said no, way to nanny state**
brownsummithokie 04/11/24 06:16 PM ET
Definitely weird setup
Hokie RN 04/11/24 09:14 PM ET
AGR plus Blacksburg Rescue means you are solid**
brownsummithokie 04/12/24 06:53 PM ET
The sec tours are outstanding.
GreenvilleVT 04/11/24 04:28 PM ET
When we say that, we are talking about football.
Chris ColemanAdmin 04/11/24 10:57 AM ET
Sound strategy, lol. We can be decent in FB. No chance in any other sport. **
40ozDistrict 04/11/24 05:48 PM ET
So our big investment is football.
GreenvilleVT 04/11/24 04:31 PM ET
Theirs has to be baseball. but enough for basketball?
HokieRat 04/11/24 11:38 AM ET
I’ve heard their baseball pot very hefty. **
GreenvilleVT 04/11/24 04:28 PM ET
They've got a big pot for basketball now.
Chris ColemanAdmin 04/11/24 11:42 AM ET
It is by choice.
hokieZ71 04/10/24 09:44 PM ET
Let’s hope for 8 wins this year. **
GreenvilleVT 04/11/24 08:28 AM ET
There are many reasons why the Hokies could win 7 or more games this
FLKEYSHOKIE 04/11/24 04:54 PM ET
I hope that is the case.
GreenvilleVT 04/11/24 08:13 PM ET
8 wins would be 66%, better win percentage than bball**
HokieRat 04/11/24 10:05 AM ET
I guess we’ll have no Nickleback. **
VT One 04/10/24 09:09 PM ET
I will be interested.........

Here I thought he wanted to play college basketball in a funky gym.
VTHokie2000 04/10/24 08:30 PM ET

jfrance41 04/10/24 08:29 PM ET

2hhoop3 04/10/24 10:00 PM ET
Plus or minus 100k…
NC Hoke 04/10/24 10:36 PM ET
That is a fairly broad range........

Not too sad to see him move on. **

Liked him on paper but that was about it. Decent but highly overrated
catdaddy 04/10/24 08:31 PM ET
We’ve already done better IMO

My guesses? 1) More than VT 2) same or less, 3) absolutely, and 4) He
ancient alien 2018 04/10/24 07:53 PM ET
Thinking he is maximizing his NIL each year until no more eligibility.
89HOKIE 04/10/24 07:49 PM ET
I bet he finishes with more than the $2.98 I had in my acct. at graduation.
hok1eboy 04/10/24 09:18 PM ET
Bragger. I had a $2000 credit card bill when I graduated. Haha.**
