Yep. If endowments were sources for athletic investment

Harvard would have the best athletic department in the country.

New coach Mark Byington was an assistant here under JJ
VictoryTurkey • 04/17/24 03:54 PM ET
I wonder if he got 400K like Nickel.If so,I really don't understand what
HokieBrazil • 04/17/24 08:30 AM ET
Vandy has basketball NIL money to burn.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/17/24 09:02 AM ET
With NIL $ to burn
VTCC 65 • 04/17/24 11:17 AM ET
If they could get better players, it wouldn't be referred to as "burning".

The W is coming for the NBA
Hokie1992 • 04/17/24 11:31 AM ET
Vandy has approx $10 bil endowment money, do you know if that can
Windows NT • 04/17/24 10:05 AM ET
No. That would jeopardize their non profit status. **
GreenvilleVT • 04/17/24 07:47 PM ET
No**
vthokieq • 04/17/24 02:28 PM ET
Depends how good their accountants are
Hokie1992 • 04/17/24 11:29 AM ET
Zero most likely. No one at a college endowment
GreenvilleVT • 04/17/24 07:49 PM ET
Vandy doesn’t touch their endowment for athletics. **
Pride_and_Joy • 04/17/24 10:22 AM ET
an endowment is actually thousands of small endowments as Scoop says
Nelsonia Hokie • 04/17/24 01:33 PM ET
Vandy definitely uses some of their endowment for athletics. I think many
VTScoop • 04/17/24 01:21 PM ET
Endowment $ are definitely used for baseball**
Slider!22 • 04/17/24 09:06 PM ET
A minor qualification of your comment. Each of those
mghokie • 04/17/24 04:15 PM ET
Seems there's a lot of misunderstood things around here these days. ;-)**
vthokieq • 04/17/24 02:29 PM ET
Most likely not. Endowments tend to be earmarked for
VTFan29 • 04/17/24 10:15 AM ET
Yep. If endowments were sources for athletic investment ◄
Pride_and_Joy • 04/17/24 11:53 AM ET
This is shocking.
Pride_and_Joy • 04/17/24 09:51 AM ET
not shocking at all
Vippie1 • 04/17/24 10:40 AM ET
If you are thinking about football, they are apathetic, yes.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/17/24 09:53 AM ET
They have Morgan Wallen night too. First 1000 get to throw chairs **
3TechFanz • 04/17/24 12:28 PM ET
Have you ever attended a Vandy game?
Pride_and_Joy • 04/17/24 10:34 AM ET
but it doesnt matter if no one comes to the games
Vippie1 • 04/17/24 11:27 AM ET
You’re not wrong. That is all it takes .
Pride_and_Joy • 04/17/24 11:39 AM ET
The administration
Pride_and_Joy • 04/17/24 09:57 AM ET
Which makes you shake your head all the more at the entire process
Vienna_Hokie • 04/17/24 09:25 AM ET
Nickel is not interchangeable, he was one of the most efficient players
jfrance41 • 04/17/24 11:06 AM ET
Elite shooter; average athleticism**
GCHokieof91 • 04/17/24 12:34 PM ET
I wish Nickel had stayed but he was lacking in defense (I'm not saying he
jrc3rd • 04/17/24 11:23 AM ET
He was the 6th man in the rotation on a team that didn't make the NCAAT
Vienna_Hokie • 04/17/24 11:16 AM ET
Uconn just picked up a guy from Michigan, who missed the tourney as well
jfrance41 • 04/17/24 12:06 PM ET
We don't know that Collins got $400k.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/17/24 09:47 AM ET
Where are you getting this info about
Pride_and_Joy • 04/17/24 12:01 PM ET
Good grief???? lmao.**
ancient alien 2018 • 04/17/24 05:14 PM ET
Let’s think for a minute about TSL and what connection they have to Vandy…
vatechcowpatty • 04/17/24 12:05 PM ET
It's not Jake. **
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/17/24 12:25 PM ET
.... from State Farm?**
Atlee Hokie • 04/17/24 01:06 PM ET
It's not that Jake but it is Jake from State Farm!**
Brewing_Hokie • 04/17/24 12:54 PM ET
Their football DC from 15 years ago?**
Pride_and_Joy • 04/17/24 12:10 PM ET
You think I'm actually going to post who my source is?**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/17/24 12:02 PM ET
F.O.I.A. will get it out of you!
Bubba Massie Valentine V • 04/17/24 01:12 PM ET
Of course not.
Pride_and_Joy • 04/17/24 12:08 PM ET
I think if you've been here 20 years you should trust us by now.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/17/24 12:24 PM ET
He was not aware that curiosity killed the cat!
HOKIEGOBBLE • 04/17/24 06:56 PM ET
Lol. Okay, Woodward. **
Pride_and_Joy • 04/17/24 02:14 PM ET
I think I need another 20 just to be sure.**
VT_Consul • 04/17/24 12:37 PM ET
If Vanderbilt had $400k to give to an athlete...
GCHokie34 • 04/17/24 09:40 AM ET
If Vandy gave Collins $400K, they are fools
Zanderhokie • 04/17/24 11:11 AM ET
What did they need and what was in the portal
Hokie1992 • 04/17/24 11:41 AM ET
well that should be a fun year for their team i guess - Christmas party
