Not all, but I believe some do, parents tend to protect daughters more ..

If I had a daughter that excelled as a basketball player and CKB offered a scholarship, he'd be at the top of the list. A lot of other things to consider--but I would have confidence that at VT, her coach would be there.

Completely different dynamics driven by the size of the pot of gold

I think Women recruits are closer to being true student athletes than men
HokieBrazil • 03/14/24 12:00 PM ET
In my college teaching experience that is completely true

You would appreciate this study then on college athlete graduation rates
HokieRat • 03/14/24 03:28 PM ET
Thanks. Looks interesting and not surprising. 😊**

About only thing in common is both use a basketball (albeit not same size)**
marcbvtgm • 03/14/24 11:41 AM ET
Well, there is one main difference...

Damn Chris, that was an excellent post **
VaTechHokiesACC • 03/14/24 09:41 PM ET
Good points. **
VT One • 03/14/24 02:34 PM ET
Of course, those things are true for both coach's competition too**
Pylons • 03/14/24 12:23 PM ET
Kenny's, family 1st approach, plays pretty good in recruiting...
vthhhi • 03/14/24 11:19 AM ET
So women’s families prioritize family and men’s families don’t as much? **

Not as much much family atmosphere as safe environment**
vtbball80 • 03/14/24 02:22 PM ET
It still works in men's sports, but..
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/14/24 11:25 AM ET
And getting into those salaries a little bit more...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/14/24 12:14 PM ET
Whit has his fingerprints all over this …
VPI63 • 03/14/24 05:48 PM ET
Perhaps VT should cut back on number of sports if $$ is an issue
40ozDistrict • 03/14/24 01:04 PM ET
That isn't as easy as it might sound. Reductions in sports would likely
mghokie • 03/14/24 02:26 PM ET
Keep FB, Basketball, Wrestling, Track, then the 4 cheapest of the rest.
40ozDistrict • 03/14/24 07:42 PM ET
I agree
Midwestguy • 03/14/24 12:38 PM ET
I like your prioritization better. :)**
NokieHokie • 03/14/24 12:21 PM ET
did you mean rehire frazier when jones left?**
Hokies23 • 03/14/24 11:58 AM ET
Yep, sorry, I'll edit.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/14/24 12:00 PM ET
Re-hire Frazier when Jones left, correct?**
Glen Allen Hokie • 03/14/24 11:57 AM ET
Yep-It is all about the $$$**
STEAMBOAT • 03/14/24 10:58 AM ET
Agree, as the Women's game grows (and more $'s are generated), I'm sure....
