The .500 team has supported other sports (not basketball)

In every year regardless whether it is 3-9 or the slightly better 6-7. So pouring money into a product that isn't going to get better than .500 is a great way to simply be bad at everything. But hey, people keep paying to see them so it must be worth it

We need to give Mike Young more NIL dollars. **

Ok, you first.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 02/28/25 11:02 AM ET
Whose is this "we"? Unless the pie gets bigger, it means a hit elsewhere.
marcbvtgm • 02/26/25 05:31 PM ET
Unless football can demonstrate an ability to utilize the money

Take $$ from .500 team that supports all sports to sub .500 which doesn't?
marcbvtgm • 02/28/25 08:31 PM ET
You miss the point. Fans are showing up consistently for a .500 team

I think you mean UVa's football program. Am I right?**
MP4VT2004 • 02/27/25 08:11 PM ET
Do we really know who has not shown an "ounce" of ability?
VTCALS72 • 02/27/25 09:28 AM ET
Not football, but I'd be fine with taking cash from that incredible 6-7
ancient alien 2018 • 02/26/25 05:54 PM ET
The football money is at about a 6-7 or 7-6 level.

Do you use Kirkland brand for your diarrhea of the mouth? Your copycat

BTW, my post was up before GC made his. You really need to seek
ancient alien 2018 • 02/26/25 09:37 PM ET
And your juvenile posts add what to the board? Mute me if you don't like
ancient alien 2018 • 02/26/25 09:35 PM ET
When you say "we", can you be more specific?**
WildTurkE • 02/26/25 05:20 PM ET
On the way**
ancient alien 2018 • 02/26/25 04:16 PM ET
Duh and the whole system changes June 1.
TheFacts • 02/26/25 03:46 PM ET
I'd suggest giving it to players instead.
vthokieq • 02/26/25 03:18 PM ET
If they don’t they are telling the fans they aren’t serious about competing**
sbarron • 02/26/25 03:04 PM ET
Have heard that is the plan.**

Yes, but...

Not a fan of this logic
SC_Hokie • 02/26/25 03:33 PM ET
Talk about cherry picking stats. Of the 5 complete VT seasons you remove 3?
HokieRat • 02/26/25 09:24 PM ET
Yes. I did. And it’s justified in this context.
SC_Hokie • 02/26/25 10:27 PM ET
I agree with you if he had access to more funds he has a better chance
HokieRat • 02/27/25 05:04 AM ET
And there of droves of higher ceiling coaches lined up waiting to come here
VT One • 02/26/25 02:53 PM ET
It seems his ceiling is at least an ACC Championship.**
OakHillHokie • 02/26/25 02:27 PM ET
How do you determine......
2hhoop3 • 02/26/25 01:45 PM ET
Hoop, you're using logic and facts to counter the "experts" illogical takes
ancient alien 2018 • 02/26/25 04:41 PM ET
Hahaha. I’ll be shocked if @Gobbler Guru even responds.
SC_Hokie • 02/26/25 10:34 PM ET
OK, I'll take the bait.
Gobbler Guru • 02/27/25 05:22 PM ET
"most NOT NIL related" - how do you know that?
Walkin` Willie • 02/28/25 08:57 AM ET
Your definition of low ceiling........
