If you like the photo that's fine, I just happen to think it's ridiculous,

and I think most agree when they think of a basketball team, they think of the players and 3 - 5 coaches and a couple managers, and a trainer. I know bureaucracy at any entity that receives a dime of taxpayer money has explode to absurd amounts, and this photo is a perfect example of how we have grown the bureaucracy around colleges and college sports so much, that the actual players seem like a complete afterthought. Even NBA teams that are worth billions don't have 26 staff members in the team photos.

But the players getting paid is the problem.
39hokies • 09/30/25 11:59 AM ET
Many of the nonplayers probably work across several sports**
WestEndHokie39 • 09/30/25 07:18 PM ET
Exactly, that's why they shouldn't be in the picture. **
39hokies • 09/30/25 10:06 PM ET
You might have to translate for me. Yeah so many support for 13 players. I
UTPr0sim • 09/30/25 01:08 PM ET
A 13 player basketball team picture should not include 26 staff members.
39hokies • 09/30/25 01:42 PM ET
you clearly don't understand modern CBB**
ShockWaveVT • 10/02/25 08:04 PM ET
