That is basically my point. All these other schools in the ACC field more

talented rosters in MBB. My thought is that if we get to the middle of the pack or slightly below it talent-wise, MY would get these guys in the top half or 40% of the league. We should be somewhere between #6 and #8 in the MBB if we just were minimally competent with funding. Something just looks very wrong. If not, that admit that we are outgunned by BC, Pitt, Syr, GT, etc. and join the Sun Belt. Things seemed very screwed up operationally. Miami is basically the new US financial capital and seem to have money to burn. I'd say that the natural order of ACC basketball is Duke, UNC, then LOU/UVA/MIA FSU. We should be able to creep up and challenge FSU for that 6th spot and UVa isn't always that good.

Will any idea what kind of NIL money we had for bball**
DCL • 11/21/24 09:13 PM ET
I believe the number is a little less than a million, which just won’t cut
jfrance41 • 11/22/24 12:40 AM ET
That’s just ridiculous.

Our strategy on funding bball NIL amounted to throwing good money after bad
Zanderhokie • 11/22/24 11:59 AM ET
Things would be lots better if Miller wasn't a crook and Drones was a QB
N2VT2 • 11/22/24 07:17 PM ET
I hear ya, but aren’t we paying people a lot of money to figure that out?
Zanderhokie • 11/22/24 11:44 PM ET
Non revenue 'Big Boys'?
Techdady • 11/22/24 09:21 AM ET
Maybe WB knows he can't spend enough to make a difference in FB MBB.
40ozDistrict • 11/22/24 08:35 AM ET
Agreed. It's becoming increasingly obvious we'll never have enough $$$
Zanderhokie • 11/22/24 12:01 PM ET
How is this not obvious to WB? I'm baffled how slow those folks minds work.**
40ozDistrict • 11/22/24 10:24 PM ET
Mr. Zander, let's hope that is done by a new AD!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 11/22/24 08:43 PM ET
It’s kinda looking that way
Zanderhokie • 11/22/24 11:31 PM ET
Agreed 100%. Hop he goes out gracefully!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 11/22/24 11:33 PM ET
My opinion.......
2hhoop3 • 11/22/24 12:14 PM ET
I agree that the strategy and decision making are worse than the resource
TDVick • 11/22/24 01:32 PM ET
Whatever the amount, we might as well

Honestly, a lack of NIL explains losing to Jacksonville?
Pride_and_Joy • 11/22/24 10:22 AM ET
Good point. I'm a dummy but I hear MY needs to keep kids in his program
40ozDistrict • 11/22/24 10:29 PM ET
How are NIL decisions made at VT?

I'm glad to see they've got one of MV2's running buddies involved, plus

I am an advocate for going "cold turkey" at this stage**
