Into modern McCamish Palivon in 2012 and sets in the middle of Atlanta enough players just in town to be great. Ahead of Pitt who again has a nice facility and sets in a large city, but has let basketball decline since leaving the Big East and joining the ACC. and ahead of Boston College, they care more about hockey. Bottomline is nobody should be complaining about Mike Young and staff, they have been doing miraculous work! VT mens basketball is vastly out performing it's ACC competitors on $ for $ basis when one factors in investment and financial commitments.
