The football money is at about a 6-7 or 7-6 level.

dollar for dollar, you are correct, if we took all the football nil and divided it between the sports you mentioned, they could buy a whole higher level of player. But just given the scale, football can buy a Tuten, Jennings, Peebles APR or Drones but not to cover the full 22 positions.

We need to give Mike Young more NIL dollars. **

Ok, you first.**

Whose is this "we"? Unless the pie gets bigger, it means a hit elsewhere.
marcbvtgm • 02/26/25 05:31 PM ET
Unless football can demonstrate an ability to utilize the money
hokiehill1117 • 02/27/25 07:59 AM ET
Take $$ from .500 team that supports all sports to sub .500 which doesn't?
marcbvtgm • 02/28/25 08:31 PM ET
You miss the point. Fans are showing up consistently for a .500 team
hokiehill1117 • 03/02/25 09:51 AM ET
The .500 team has supported other sports (not basketball)

I'm 100% on board with pulling money from...

I think you mean UVa's football program. Am I right?**
MP4VT2004 • 02/27/25 08:11 PM ET
Do we really know who has not shown an "ounce" of ability?
VTCALS72 • 02/27/25 09:28 AM ET
Not football, but I'd be fine with taking cash from that incredible 6-7

Do you use Kirkland brand for your diarrhea of the mouth? Your copycat

BTW, my post was up before GC made his. You really need to seek
ancient alien 2018 • 02/26/25 09:37 PM ET
And your juvenile posts add what to the board? Mute me if you don't like
ancient alien 2018 • 02/26/25 09:35 PM ET
When you say "we", can you be more specific?**
WildTurkE • 02/26/25 05:20 PM ET
On the way**
ancient alien 2018 • 02/26/25 04:16 PM ET
Duh and the whole system changes June 1.
TheFacts • 02/26/25 03:46 PM ET
I'd suggest giving it to players instead.
vthokieq • 02/26/25 03:18 PM ET
If they don’t they are telling the fans they aren’t serious about competing**
sbarron • 02/26/25 03:04 PM ET
Have heard that is the plan.**

Not a fan of this logic
SC_Hokie • 02/26/25 03:33 PM ET
Talk about cherry picking stats. Of the 5 complete VT seasons you remove 3?
HokieRat • 02/26/25 09:24 PM ET
Yes. I did. And it’s justified in this context.
SC_Hokie • 02/26/25 10:27 PM ET
I agree with you if he had access to more funds he has a better chance
HokieRat • 02/27/25 05:04 AM ET
And there of droves of higher ceiling coaches lined up waiting to come here
VT One • 02/26/25 02:53 PM ET
It seems his ceiling is at least an ACC Championship.**
OakHillHokie • 02/26/25 02:27 PM ET
How do you determine......
2hhoop3 • 02/26/25 01:45 PM ET
Hoop, you're using logic and facts to counter the "experts" illogical takes
ancient alien 2018 • 02/26/25 04:41 PM ET
Hahaha. I’ll be shocked if @Gobbler Guru even responds.
SC_Hokie • 02/26/25 10:34 PM ET
OK, I'll take the bait.
Gobbler Guru • 02/27/25 05:22 PM ET
"most NOT NIL related" - how do you know that?
Walkin` Willie • 02/28/25 08:57 AM ET
