He is responsible for fund raising and managing athletic budget.

Well, that's not exactly true. As @RJHokie and others have pointed out,

Regarding the word, "WITHHELD," the point is that VT isn't fielding a high

Does anyone know from year to year how much it will take?
VTCALS72 • 01/25/25 03:40 PM ET
I think VT got caught flat footed when the new market prices for basketball
NC Hoke • 01/25/25 03:29 PM ET
Is it a Whit Babcock problem that the cost of athletes went up so fast?
VTCALS72 • 01/25/25 03:46 PM ET
Of course not. But this rolls up to his door. ◄
NC Hoke • 01/25/25 03:59 PM ET
It’s Whit’s fault that he is not able to see the obvious.
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/25/25 03:54 PM ET
Oh, you mean those select schools that had large sum of money available

Actually a lot of the criticisms.......
2hhoop3 • 01/25/25 05:21 PM ET
I do not fault Whit for not having the money
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/25/25 04:44 PM ET
That's the bigger point. There seems to be a lot of silence or unawareness
TDVick • 01/25/25 05:07 PM ET
It is Whit's fault for the lethargic manner he responded to the market.

So true great post for the weekend
RiverVT • 01/25/25 02:37 PM ET
The lack of leadership is deafening.
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/25/25 02:35 PM ET
Whit's lack of leadership explains why space is a vacuum.**

Is it true Whit "withheld" NIL for MBB or is this just another rumor?**
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/25/25 12:00 PM ET
Money was strategically directed toward a coach and program
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/25/25 12:40 PM ET
First of all, 'met' or 'not met' expectations is subjective. Second...
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/25/25 01:11 PM ET
It isn’t a matter of absolute numbers, it’s a matter of degree.

Not at all. Pry said before the season was his expectations were. He fired

Wow! Do you live in a cave?
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/25/25 02:29 PM ET
This is true, and publicly at that.
RJHokie • 01/25/25 02:32 PM ET
I suspect withheld isn't the correct term
