I fail to see the relevance.

All I’m saying is he’s the 56th highest paid coach in the country and our team is #205 in the NET, #131 in the BPI, #157 in the Massey composite, #170 in kenpom. He did a great job a few years ago. Our team got hot for five games and won the ACCT. We weren’t going to get into the NCAA field that year w/o winning the conference tourney (I.e., we had a mediocre season) and we were bounced from the first round of the tourney. The ACCT championship was an amazing accomplishment and something we will all cherish — but it was a run of five games, not a great overall season. I don’t say that to be unappreciative — but let’s keep it in perspective. I don’t think CMY is built for the NIL/transfer portal era. It’s gonna take a different breed to succeed in today’s ecosystem. ** Edited by Pride_and_Joy at 1/9/2025, 11:12:11 AM

GBOHokie • 01/09/25 08:29 AM ET
Lack of NIL $$$ is the problem
Walkin` Willie • 01/09/25 11:01 AM ET
My point is. What did he do for NIL? He has bigger responsibilities
GBOHokie • 01/09/25 02:23 PM ET
So you are blaming CMY when you admit you don't know what
Walkin` Willie • 01/10/25 08:03 AM ET
Young's salary is ranked 56th among D1 coaches, and 11th in the ACC.**

Not much else has to be said. **

Would love to know what his available NIL funds are and how they ranks in
uber hokie • 01/09/25 05:18 AM ET
Ah! The ever transparent NIL.**
Atlee Hokie • 01/09/25 09:53 AM ET
His salary out-paces the team’s performance. **

Remind me how many other coaches at Tech have won an ACC championship?**

Am I wrong? Is this team ranked 56th or higher? **
Pride_and_Joy • 01/09/25 12:45 AM ET
Simplistic in my mind. We bring in top 40 revenue as a MBB program...
GoldCoast • 01/09/25 07:13 AM ET
What "elite" fan base?
VTCALS72 • 01/09/25 07:59 AM ET
Must be talking about football attendance, not MBB.**

I agree. I must have missed that "elite" fanbase at our home games this
