It will be interesting to see which capital projects VT gives the green

light on and what impact (if any) on achieving the desire goal. At least I am assuming the desire goal for these projects is to improve things for the people attending events in Cassell, specific athletic programs, and/or both.

NIL**
IB4TECH • 09/20/24 05:40 PM ET
Yeah nah…
SC_Hokie • 09/21/24 05:25 PM ET
No, the general NIL fund, which is majority football.
SkoHokies • 09/22/24 03:08 PM ET
So then yes
SC_Hokie • 09/23/24 08:17 PM ET
Whit at his initial hire.......
2hhoop3 • 09/22/24 03:22 PM ET
Won't happen with this AD, but a real departmental house cleaning is

We have to prop up a 7-5 football team so the SEC will like us first **
GCHokie34 • 09/20/24 11:31 AM ET
You misspelled "6-6" football team.**
NokieHokie • 09/21/24 01:22 PM ET
A 6-6 team would be beyond "outstanding". I am thinking a 5-7 or 4-8 team
FLKEYSHOKIE • 09/22/24 08:13 PM ET
Rapidly looking like a 4-8 team.**
EDGEMAN • 09/22/24 07:12 AM ET
After today's game, the time has come.
KCHokie2 • 09/21/24 08:25 PM ET
I think they can turn this thing around...
GCHokie34 • 09/21/24 01:28 PM ET
You’re right. They’ll add UVA for their lacrosse team. **
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 07:37 PM ET
At this point I think you have jumped the shark.
HokieDelNorte • 09/22/24 02:25 PM ET
At this point? **
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 07:37 PM ET
That’s a better investment than in our second rate bball program. **
Pride_and_Joy • 09/21/24 09:45 AM ET
That investment is really paying dividends lol...**
GCHokie34 • 09/21/24 01:19 PM ET
It’s the revenue sport.
Pride_and_Joy • 09/21/24 02:53 PM ET
Basketball is also a revenue sport...
GCHokie34 • 09/21/24 04:28 PM ET
With all due respect, not at the level of football **

Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 07:52 PM ET
You’re focused on results in non-revs. They are
Pride_and_Joy • 09/21/24 07:32 PM ET
Spoiler alert:
GCHokie34 • 09/21/24 08:00 PM ET
Nailed it**
1977hokie • 09/22/24 08:48 PM ET
The silent majority supports you. More will see the light
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/22/24 04:00 PM ET
The investments have to be in football
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 10:18 AM ET
There's a large difference between investing in football...
GCHokie34 • 09/22/24 11:53 AM ET
Try to think strategically, not tactically.
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 12:59 PM ET
You make it sound like basketball operates at a profit 1/50th of football
GCHokie34 • 09/22/24 01:25 PM ET
1/4 the profit and you only need to take care of 1/7 to 1/6 the players
VTKev80 • 09/22/24 02:04 PM ET
If only we could scale and have 12 basketball teams. **
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 07:40 PM ET
Stop being so obtuse.
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 01:34 PM ET
The revenue driver for UVA is technically football...
GCHokie34 • 09/22/24 01:40 PM ET
Also, The UVA and UNc
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 01:47 PM ET
Lol what football brand?
GCHokie34 • 09/22/24 02:00 PM ET
Who is talking about recruits?
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 02:17 PM ET
You're comparing USCs brand to VT?
GCHokie34 • 09/22/24 02:29 PM ET
You may be the most concrete thinker I’ve ever met
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 05:28 PM ET
And both have multiple national titles to earn that brand...
GCHokie34 • 09/22/24 05:31 PM ET
You really don’t get it.
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 06:32 PM ET
I've already laid out for you...
GCHokie34 • 09/22/24 06:51 PM ET
No one cares about basketball
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 07:05 PM ET
You keep jumping back and forth
GCHokie34 • 09/22/24 07:24 PM ET
You’re not making good points
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 07:35 PM ET
Their advantage is two-fold
GCHokie34 • 09/22/24 07:56 PM ET
You want to be like UVA?
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 01:45 PM ET
Crickets. **
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/24 07:40 PM ET
Yep**
Midwestguy • 09/20/24 01:52 PM ET
We can only hope for 7-5**
hokeyhokie • 09/20/24 12:40 PM ET
8-4? Nahhh 7-5? Cut out the mistakes and let Clements fill Gator Ade
ancient alien 2018 • 09/23/24 12:40 AM ET
At this point I'd be happy if they just washed the roof.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/20/24 10:29 AM ET
small budget wise - i'd like to see the interlocked VT's at midcourt again
kingofcassell • 09/20/24 09:44 AM ET
At least the seats are new and the court is fancy. ;)
Old Line Hokie • 09/20/24 09:19 AM ET
Just fix the paint colors to match our brand and I'll chill
WildTurkE • 09/20/24 01:21 PM ET
And remove the building silhouettes.**
Femoyer Hokie • 09/20/24 03:04 PM ET
This, this. A 1000 times this.**
Hokester • 09/20/24 04:47 PM ET
Basically DOA……
RJHokie • 09/19/24 08:58 PM ET
People really do not understand.........
2hhoop3 • 09/22/24 07:49 PM ET
It's a good thing VT is so stellar at fundraising! :(**
NokieHokie • 09/22/24 08:12 PM ET
This is very true.
RJHokie • 09/22/24 08:02 PM ET
Previous donations
Hokiestock • 09/20/24 10:10 AM ET
Those will probably be held and used for scaled down Cassell
RJHokie • 09/20/24 10:24 AM ET
However, if a school is already a member of a P2 conference, then it is
VTHokie2000 • 09/20/24 07:53 AM ET
There will probably be some capital projects but not on the scale
RJHokie • 09/20/24 08:43 AM ET
It will be interesting to see which capital projects VT gives the green ◄
VTHokie2000 • 09/20/24 03:00 PM ET
Lets hope they keep the arched pillars clean at least!**
