Hard to turn down your dream job though.

Charlottesville/UVA is where he grew up and much like MY said about Blacksburg "learned to love basketball" Kind of refreshing, actually, that there are still some things that matter more than $ (not that there isn't also a ton of $ involved in his hire at UVA)

Nova to steal Willard from MD?
GoldCoast • 03/27/25 07:32 AM ET
Willard was openly complaining about his AD and school funding last week
st_andrew • 03/27/25 08:45 AM ET
I don't know who his agent is, but...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/27/25 08:23 AM ET
Yeah there's something else going on there...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 09:43 AM ET
if you don't have football how do you have 20 million in revenue?
VermontDDS • 03/27/25 12:43 PM ET
They don't need to...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 12:57 PM ET
after revenue and "NIL" what's left to run these program
VermontDDS • 03/27/25 02:10 PM ET
6 million isn't any different than what they bring in currently
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 02:21 PM ET
I agree they make a profit in the old model
VermontDDS • 03/27/25 02:36 PM ET
I love seeing the trad BB-only's show-up, but it's not a slam-dunk
VT757to276 • 03/27/25 02:50 PM ET
VT didn't pull $20 million out of thin air...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 02:44 PM ET
my only rebuttal.. and it's a big what if
VermontDDS • 03/27/25 02:55 PM ET
The cap will increase over the next couple years...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 03:06 PM ET
that was my thought. It will take the big boys to have a disadvantage
VermontDDS • 03/27/25 03:13 PM ET
How many sports......
2hhoop3 • 03/27/25 02:33 PM ET
Yeah, that's the thing...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 02:38 PM ET
I agree with that.......
2hhoop3 • 03/27/25 02:50 PM ET
Agree 100%.I guess the challenge for those schools is all the other sports.**
Femoyer Hokie • 03/27/25 02:26 PM ET
I just don't think it's any more a challenge as anyone else...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 02:35 PM ET
Along those lines...
Will StewartAdmin • 03/27/25 12:32 PM ET
VCU has announced $5 million in rev share/NIL...
MBHokie90 • 03/27/25 03:30 PM ET
In related news, I'm more than a bit surprised that Odom left VCU for UVA.

I love VT! • 03/27/25 04:55 PM ET
Well that's good
hokieZ71 • 03/27/25 10:59 AM ET
I would push back on PAC-2/MWC...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 11:56 AM ET
Wasn't he also complaining publicly about his NIL budget?This feels like a
HokieBrazil • 03/27/25 10:08 AM ET
Yeah that was a part of what he was negotiating with his extension
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 10:51 AM ET
Isn't it ironic, IIRC one reason Buzz came to VT was b/c of football
HokieSA • 03/27/25 12:36 PM ET
Inaccurate info on the internet? The horror! **
ombandit • 03/27/25 09:36 AM ET
Seems like a step down.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 03/27/25 08:15 AM ET
Villanova BB is a big step up from MD. **
JackDSML • 03/27/25 12:30 PM ET
Not sure big is accurate. **
HokieDelNorte • 03/27/25 02:12 PM ET
Not with what Villanova will be able to pay their athletes in rev share
