Yeah, thats not really a big incentive

I just think if the choices we make are between keeping prices market value and having half empty gyms for low-demand games or taking a slight hit to prices to fill the gym for those low-demand games only then its a no-brainer Get yourself some good will in the community, create a good atmosphere and the demand for the other games will increase on their own. Pricing people out of games they dont want to see when they dont have time to see them helps no one.

Hard to believe a program 3 yrs from ACC title is #13
hokiepro • 01/05/26 11:32 PM ET
Harder to believe ACC coaches would have time to waste filling out ballots
NC Hoke • 01/06/26 03:25 AM ET
Coaches give it to a lackey to fill out.**

That shouldn’t be the bar, what you saw 20 years ago.
GoldCoast • 01/05/26 03:40 PM ET
Or...
GCHokie34 • 01/05/26 05:22 PM ET
Multiple things can be true. The bar is higher now because VT has proven..
GoldCoast • 01/05/26 09:38 PM ET
Exactly
NC Hoke • 01/05/26 05:11 PM ET
Charlie Moir is another data point in the coach comparison
UpperQuad • 01/05/26 04:21 PM ET
UVA fans always wondered why any hokie fans would want to fire CMY

I have not seen any calls for his dismissal- just his boss
tallahasseehokie • 01/05/26 07:23 PM ET
This!**
RJHokie • 01/05/26 07:24 PM ET
Or maybe its how terrible our Athletic Departmwnt has treated basketball
AnotherTechW • 01/05/26 01:49 PM ET
^This. Along with some abysmal HC hiring decisions.
Gobbler Guru • 01/05/26 03:49 PM ET
Greenberg always said that Cassell gave the team an advantage. Unique
jboyhokie • 01/05/26 05:21 PM ET
Duke does just fine with Cameron, which is older**
UpperQuad • 01/05/26 04:30 PM ET
Comparing us to Duke in Bball is laughable. **
Lancelot Link • 01/05/26 04:43 PM ET
I was comparing arenas, not teams**
UpperQuad • 01/05/26 06:27 PM ET
It’s tough because Blacksburg is a small town.
SC_Hokie • 01/05/26 03:01 PM ET
Would it make sense to move some of the Winter Break games to NoVA?
UpperQuad • 01/05/26 06:19 PM ET
ABSOLUTELY NOT! **
uber hokie • 01/06/26 06:43 PM ET
There needs to be better incentives for the local population and students..
GCHokie34 • 01/05/26 05:26 PM ET
I just got an "Exclusive Ticket Offer for State Employees –GMU vs. VCU"
HokieEngineer • 01/06/26 05:21 PM ET
Yeah, thats not really a big incentive ◄
GCHokie34 • 01/06/26 05:30 PM ET
You’re probably looking for the $5 ticket that U Va football offers
RJHokie • 01/06/26 05:24 PM ET
All great points
SC_Hokie • 01/05/26 07:56 PM ET
Reason # 6 why this Ath. Dept needs to be cleaned out and staff brought in
ancient alien 2018 • 01/05/26 05:35 PM ET
Yep. And get the students closer to the court.**
Femoyer Hokie • 01/05/26 05:34 PM ET
