Emphasized Olympic Non-Revenue Sports. I love them, but not at the cost of

revenue sports, especially football. Football pays the bills for Olympic Sports. If they expand the NCAA Basketball tournament and pay the Sweet 16 like the eventual Football Playoff 16, then it can be big money made there too, but not right now. You have to go where the ROI is to help all sports, and that is football. Whit has it backwards, and at a minimum is catching up too late. ** Edited by Stech at 3/18/2025, 2:10:48 PM

Terrible article, it’s an OpEd with no opinion other than “bad man bad”

So WB shouldn’t say “we were still ass, but not that bad”?

I think when he was hired it was viewed as a good fit for the ACC as he fit
GreenvilleVT • 03/18/25 01:53 PM ET
It's more simple than that. Lose games in sports that matter and anything

When he was hired VT took its FB success for granted.**

We went to a bowl game in football so can’t see Whit being on any hot seat

And lost**

What's hilarious is using "went to a bowl game" as your standard.
Gobbler Guru • 03/18/25 01:35 PM ET
He's got a lot of important eyes on him right now.

The real question is .......
2hhoop3 • 03/18/25 01:42 PM ET
Things really came to a head this year...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/18/25 02:35 PM ET
So was this a bad strategy by Whit or poor execution by Pry?**
vtbball80 • 03/18/25 09:07 PM ET
Football season is on Pry, who was hired by Whit.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/19/25 07:55 AM ET
BOTH were Failures**
U2Hokie • 03/18/25 09:30 PM ET
Who are the eyes? The BoD?
hoosnowahokie • 03/18/25 04:34 PM ET
And yet, WB is still here
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/18/25 04:12 PM ET
Thanks for the reply CC.....

And a poorly led and mis-managed Hokie Club
hokie4ever • 03/18/25 09:48 PM ET
This will be the nail in the coffin. If you can’t raise money
AnotherTechW • 03/19/25 08:16 AM ET
BINGO!**
NokieHokie • 03/18/25 03:13 PM ET
Yep, I agree.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/18/25 03:10 PM ET
Hope so. Material change is needed in some capacity.
GoldCoast • 03/18/25 12:55 PM ET
Yeah i am at my whit’s end. **
