NIL should be structured the way it sounds

Name Image Likeness; for instance, the women who drew awesome crowds this season, should have been getting a portion of every seat; should have been getting a portion of every eyeball, stuff needs to be tracked, normalized and used for negotiations with additional advertisements; give the players the option to advert on the shirts like they do in the premeir league Sorry haven't read your articles, but this sounds like the AD has a bucket of money to allocate as he she sees fit. Wrong approach IMHO. Yes do that but push hard to put it into the hands of the people who like to see and watch the players and the games. Its probably too late; VT needs to show it can retain relevance in the Balt Wash DC TV market. This only happens by aggressively (yet judiciously) expanding and advertising. The NIL case and the other case I am forgetting happened so long ago, did we not think they'd show up in SWVA? I don't blame Kenny. I never thought people would watch girls sports, but wow!!! Girls collegiate sports were fun to watch with the girls hoops. How much did their NIL reflect the ut pro sim that these bureaucrats are supposed to be so committed to. Talking **** is talking ****. Ut pro sim you're either doing it aggressively or just GTFO.

Going all in on football is a dangerous and slippery slope IMO. Our giving
BackInTheBurg • 03/29/24 02:31 PM ET
Not long ago Whitt was being criticized for not focusing enough on football
wwhokie1 • 03/29/24 03:40 PM ET
That’s why Whit…it’s Whit…gets paid the big bucks **
BackInTheBurg • 03/29/24 04:01 PM ET
He gets paid so much he should have 2 t's on his name! :)**
NokieHokie • 03/29/24 04:30 PM ET
I'll be interested to see what happens a couple of years from now.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 02:51 PM ET
We are undergoing a strategic inflection in the industry
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/29/24 02:37 PM ET
But it's a short-term sacrifice. Either it will pay off and we get in the
NokieHokie • 03/29/24 02:36 PM ET
This is the correct answer **
WestEndHokie39 • 03/30/24 08:37 AM ET
Yep. I probably knew the answer before I posted. But it made me feel better
BackInTheBurg • 03/29/24 02:44 PM ET
Yes, I've been writing about that for several months now.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 12:02 PM ET
We got a coach (Pry) that prioritizes relationships, hitting VA hard EARLY

question about NIL and approach
DMV Gobbler • 03/29/24 02:31 PM ET
I think Triumph itself is focused on football.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 02:33 PM ET
Thank you **
DMV Gobbler • 03/29/24 06:07 PM ET
This is the correct strategy. However, the basketball fans are learning
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/29/24 02:18 PM ET
We can get better at the Moneyball aspects of it, IMO.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 02:25 PM ET
Essentially, would you rather lose Kidd or Jennings, Felton, and Lane
soflahokie • 03/29/24 03:10 PM ET
I meant within it's own budget, MBB can do a little better.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 03:12 PM ET
100%**
Cvillehoops13 • 03/29/24 02:28 PM ET
Agree. On the men’s side it seems like the non graduating players
Ruffian99 • 03/29/24 01:46 PM ET
I didn't read those articles. I guess I should subscribe.
hburghokie09 • 03/29/24 01:16 PM ET
No one is going to make an announcement saying that the VT donor base
HokieFanDC • 03/29/24 01:32 PM ET
Correct, that's one of those things you have to figure out yourself.
Hokie 04 • 03/29/24 03:21 PM ET
Coach Brooks kinda said that in his welcome to Ky presser yesterday. **
pokiehokie83 • 03/29/24 02:50 PM ET
He’s doing the same thing he did before
st_andrew • 03/29/24 12:44 PM ET
Always reacting versus being pro-active. I’ve seen behind the curtain
GOHOKEE • 03/29/24 08:41 PM ET
The idea should be.......
2hhoop3 • 03/29/24 04:18 PM ET
Proactive? VT Athletics? Unique concept!**
Buzzardlip • 03/29/24 04:49 PM ET
I agree he could do a better job.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 12:53 PM ET
FB, MBB, WBB, wrestling, baseball, softball?**
Pride_and_Joy • 03/29/24 01:21 PM ET
I would think the spectator sports would get the most attention, yes.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 01:23 PM ET
Seems like football needs to reign supreme.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/29/24 01:40 PM ET
I just don’t see the proof of this theory out there.
st_andrew • 03/29/24 02:26 PM ET
So cut the golf team, swimming, etc. **
Pride_and_Joy • 03/29/24 04:02 PM ET
Why cut teams that are successful? I.e. swimming.**
VTFan29 • 03/29/24 04:08 PM ET
They cost money and generate no revenue.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/29/24 04:52 PM ET
I heard this before :)**
40ozDistrict • 03/29/24 08:25 PM ET
But don't cut the sports that are consistently ranked most years.**
VTFan29 • 03/29/24 04:55 PM ET
I don’t really care.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/29/24 05:04 PM ET
I'm inclined to agree with a lot of what you say.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 02:47 PM ET
Careful, I said the exact same thing a few days ago and ruffled many
vatechcowpatty • 03/29/24 01:34 PM ET
Haha, I know, I read that.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 01:43 PM ET

ACC_Hoops • 03/29/24 01:16 PM ET
I’m not convinced that our win - loss record
ginnyhokie1 • 03/29/24 12:28 PM ET
My thoughts exactly
1977hokie • 03/29/24 01:54 PM ET
I don't disagree with you.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 12:31 PM ET
You are correct. Whit has set a priority, and is doing what he is
saret • 03/29/24 12:19 PM ET
Unfortunately its looking like too little too late. Hopefully we have a
