Id agree. And It aint a great start of the PR campaign to get VT hoops

fans to pony up more NIL dollars One way or the other this decision should have been taken out of the players hands. Either let the AD make the call before or after the season regarding nit. Not to mention that the team just made their coach appear completely feckless while (appearing to even if they didn't mean to) flipping the bird at their fanbase. Just a bad look even if there is arguably a justification. ** Edited by Vippie1 at 3/14/2026, 9:44:17 AM

Fans really wanted to see VT play in the NIT?
GoldCoast • 03/14/26 10:47 AM ET
Yeah, I would have. That's the point, to compete, right? **
