Or not, it's not quite clear how a program that drove a ~6M surplus...

...last year, plays in front of packed arenas, and at its worst (over the last decade) plays in the NIT can't have a NIL budget better than the bottom of the P6 hoops programs.

Now if we can just reel in Kaden Cooper...

I recommend we keep our expectations in check.**

Well, we're just now getting to being able to have actual VT $$$ in play.**

We are not in a “Business as Usual” situation.

When Triumph NIL doesn't allow for basketball specific donations...
GCHokie34 • 05/16/24 08:34 PM ET
That's the slippery slope but you have to try it.**
IB4TECH • 05/17/24 05:45 PM ET
Just bizarre to me that you can't contribute to MBB directly....
GoldCoast • 05/17/24 08:56 AM ET
To contribute to Men's Basketball directly (for NIL) you have to go
VTScoop • 05/17/24 10:00 AM ET
Scoop, I love the insight your posts provide, but isn't the system
saret • 05/17/24 11:07 AM ET
dude.. all NIL collectives are a charade
ShockWaveVT • 05/17/24 12:01 PM ET
My point exactly. @VTScoop 's post was just the stating of the
saret • 05/17/24 12:06 PM ET
Happy to go the Hokie Way course, once it counts to Hokie Club points**
j9hokie • 05/17/24 10:26 AM ET
Triumph needs a complete overhaul IMO.
vthokieq • 05/17/24 09:06 AM ET
The problem with football-centric decision makers for basketball...
GCHokie34 • 05/17/24 10:40 AM ET
Kinda like the United Way model. **
saret • 05/17/24 03:04 PM ET
This is how every nonprofit operates...
MBHokie90 • 05/17/24 11:34 AM ET
But what you describe requires trust. How do you build
saret • 05/17/24 03:07 PM ET
Very much agreed on all fronts...
GCHokie34 • 05/17/24 11:38 AM ET
VT NIL
Midwestguy • 05/17/24 01:55 PM ET
There are positives to both groups...

Midwestguy • 05/17/24 03:06 PM ET
Who exactly are these football-centric decision makers?
vthokieq • 05/17/24 10:44 AM ET
Brenden Hill, Kevin Jones...
GCHokie34 • 05/17/24 10:49 AM ET
I never knew Kevin Jones was so accomplished. Good for him. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 05/17/24 04:46 PM ET
GC, thanks for the link. Interesting.**
saret • 05/17/24 03:16 PM ET
Brenden Hill left Triumph like a year ago if I'm not mistaken.
vthokieq • 05/17/24 10:56 AM ET
No, I'm aware Hill is with SDSU...
GCHokie34 • 05/17/24 10:59 AM ET
I'm well aware...which is one of the reasons I'm not a fan.
vthokieq • 05/17/24 11:01 AM ET
Then we are against Triumph for different reasons...congrats**
GCHokie34 • 05/17/24 11:02 AM ET
LOL. I really have no idea what you're for or against anymore. **
vthokieq • 05/17/24 11:04 AM ET
That doesn't sound like a me problem**
GCHokie34 • 05/17/24 11:07 AM ET
When you're all over the place it is. **
vthokieq • 05/17/24 11:11 AM ET
It certainly looks that way, feels like VT starts....
GoldCoast • 05/17/24 09:40 AM ET
Yeah...that wasn't at all what I was saying. **
vthokieq • 05/17/24 09:41 AM ET
Justin Robinson sits on THW board. What's his take?**
vthokieq • 05/17/24 08:16 AM ET
No clue...
GCHokie34 • 05/17/24 10:32 AM ET
So another question…
vthokieq • 05/17/24 10:42 AM ET
Who is "they"?
GCHokie34 • 05/17/24 10:48 AM ET
That's not what happened with Georgia and Kitley though...
vthokieq • 05/17/24 10:53 AM ET
Like I said...
GCHokie34 • 05/17/24 10:58 AM ET
So you're looking for more "pay for play" recruiting dollars?
vthokieq • 05/17/24 10:59 AM ET
I'm looking for oversight and accountability in allocation of dollars**
GCHokie34 • 05/17/24 11:00 AM ET
That I absolutely agree with. However, everyone is so opaque
saret • 05/17/24 03:22 PM ET
Diversity in their board would be a good start...
GCHokie34 • 05/17/24 03:25 PM ET
Very good point...decision makers are taking that risk, at least for now.**
BleedinOandM • 05/17/24 08:13 AM ET
football must be taking the surplus
tallahasseehokie • 05/16/24 08:06 PM ET
One has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other until 2026.**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/16/24 06:49 PM ET
Yeah but that’s no fun….I actually have low to no expectations with this
hokieblitz • 05/15/24 11:54 PM ET
Slightly higher ceiling than last year
hokietom87 • 05/16/24 02:42 PM ET
yeah I'll be repeating this a lot
