GoldCoast 03/27/25 07:32 AM ET
Willard was openly complaining about his AD and school funding last week
st_andrew 03/27/25 08:45 AM ET
I don't know who his agent is, but...
Chris ColemanAdmin 03/27/25 08:23 AM ET
Yeah there's something else going on there...
GCHokie34 03/27/25 09:43 AM ET
if you don't have football how do you have 20 million in revenue?
VermontDDS 03/27/25 12:43 PM ET
They don't need to...
GCHokie34 03/27/25 12:57 PM ET
after revenue and "NIL" what's left to run these program
VermontDDS 03/27/25 02:10 PM ET
6 million isn't any different than what they bring in currently
GCHokie34 03/27/25 02:21 PM ET
I agree they make a profit in the old model
VermontDDS 03/27/25 02:36 PM ET
I love seeing the trad BB-only's show-up, but it's not a slam-dunk
VT757to276 03/27/25 02:50 PM ET
VT didn't pull $20 million out of thin air...
GCHokie34 03/27/25 02:44 PM ET
my only rebuttal.. and it's a big what if
VermontDDS 03/27/25 02:55 PM ET
The cap will increase over the next couple years...
GCHokie34 03/27/25 03:06 PM ET

VermontDDS 03/27/25 03:13 PM ET
How many sports......
2hhoop3 03/27/25 02:33 PM ET
Yeah, that's the thing...
GCHokie34 03/27/25 02:38 PM ET
I agree with that.......
2hhoop3 03/27/25 02:50 PM ET
Agree 100%.I guess the challenge for those schools is all the other sports.**
Femoyer Hokie 03/27/25 02:26 PM ET
I just don't think it's any more a challenge as anyone else...
GCHokie34 03/27/25 02:35 PM ET
Along those lines...

VCU has announced $5 million in rev share/NIL...
MBHokie90 03/27/25 03:30 PM ET
In related news, I'm more than a bit surprised that Odom left VCU for UVA.
TechHokie13 03/27/25 02:35 PM ET
Hard to turn down your dream job though.
I love VT! 03/27/25 04:55 PM ET
Well that's good
hokieZ71 03/27/25 10:59 AM ET
I would push back on PAC-2/MWC...

HokieBrazil 03/27/25 10:08 AM ET
Yeah that was a part of what he was negotiating with his extension
GCHokie34 03/27/25 10:51 AM ET
Isn't it ironic, IIRC one reason Buzz came to VT was b/c of football
HokieSA 03/27/25 12:36 PM ET
Inaccurate info on the internet? The horror! **
ombandit 03/27/25 09:36 AM ET
Seems like a step down.**
YBYSAIAHokie 03/27/25 08:15 AM ET
Villanova BB is a big step up from MD. **
JackDSML 03/27/25 12:30 PM ET
Not sure big is accurate. **
HokieDelNorte 03/27/25 02:12 PM ET
Not with what Villanova will be able to pay their athletes in rev share
