I am assuming that it will be another big rebuild for men's hoops next year
CobbCountyHokie • 03/30/26 01:33 PM ET
every year is a rebuild year in college basketball
ShockWaveVT • 03/31/26 12:15 AM ET
Indeed. We live in the age of "pay for play."
EDGEMAN • 03/31/26 09:13 AM ET
It seems, based on the economic commitment, we will be repeatedly . . .
MidloHokie • 03/30/26 05:41 PM ET
I dunno, I see us building a bigger home next year.**
KCHokie2 • 03/30/26 08:21 PM ET
"He hates these cans!"**
HokieNL • 03/31/26 12:22 AM ET
The new phone books are out............**
santafe • 03/31/26 08:20 AM ET
well yeah, always going to be a complete rebuild these days
Vippie1 • 03/30/26 04:54 PM ET
It's a reality, not an assumption, for almost every program.**
marcbvtgm • 03/30/26 04:16 PM ET
Every year will be a rebuild. Welcome to NIL world. **
ModerateHokie • 03/30/26 02:02 PM ET
Theyre not going to have the money to be a contender next yr unfortunately**
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 01:37 PM ET
Which probably make sense for two reasons. (1) if this is MY's swan song,
goodbadugly • 03/31/26 09:12 AM ET
If youre saving money for a new coach...just...hire them
GCHokie34 • 03/31/26 09:29 AM ET
But yet that's exactly what we've done. Plenty of examples where we've
goodbadugly • 03/31/26 03:51 PM ET
VT went all in on the roster for Brent Pry in his final 2 years...
GCHokie34 • 03/31/26 03:52 PM ET
Might as well keep the one we have as no coach worth their salt
Walkin` Willie • 03/31/26 11:55 AM ET
So we are basically the Baltimore Orioles or the Orlando Magic
OrlandoHokie • 03/30/26 08:17 PM ET
Pittsburgh Pirates**
UpperQuad • 03/30/26 11:37 PM ET
Or Tampa Bay (which almost always punches above its weight)**
marcbvtgm • 03/31/26 10:21 AM ET
Not so much with the new Orioles ownership. **
marcbvtgm • 03/30/26 08:35 PM ET
Orioles fan here. I feel my pain!**
HokieNL • 03/30/26 08:32 PM ET
Maybe, but we'll never be Royals.**
KCHokie2 • 03/30/26 08:24 PM ET
Don't ask me to call you Queen Bee. 😂**
HokieNL • 03/31/26 01:45 AM ET
When you look at Dook, we didn't have the money to compete this year.**
EDGEMAN • 03/30/26 05:09 PM ET
If Duke is the barometer for competing VT will never compete **
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 07:09 PM ET
Exactly**
EDGEMAN • 03/30/26 07:09 PM ET
Simpatico Kemosahbee
Vippie1 • 03/30/26 04:59 PM ET
At this point I sincerely hope MY retires right before the season begins
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 05:07 PM ET
Oh, that good ole boy system is all about doing more with less.
HaveItAllHokie • 03/30/26 11:33 PM ET
No...thats not a reasoned thought**
GCHokie34 • 03/31/26 08:40 AM ET
This is disgusting to even suggest **
SC_Hokie • 03/30/26 06:08 PM ET
Which part of it?**
I love VT! • 03/30/26 07:13 PM ET
worked for UVa :-)**
Vippie1 • 03/30/26 05:16 PM ET
Assumption **
Midwestguy • 03/30/26 03:12 PM ET
I mean...cool?
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 04:54 PM ET
You made up Ryan Odom wasn't a serious contender for VT bball head whistle
HokieRat • 03/30/26 09:32 PM ET
Sure didnt..
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 10:11 PM ET
Is this post related to inside info or educated guess?
AnotherTechW • 03/30/26 09:14 PM ET
Money
Midwestguy • 03/30/26 06:24 PM ET
The basketball program did not lose money...**
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 06:25 PM ET
In FY25, they absolutely did** ◄
I love VT! • 03/30/26 11:46 PM ET
I thought I saw it reported
Midwestguy • 03/30/26 06:45 PM ET
Indeed We'll see later on.**
ancient alien 2018 • 03/30/26 04:15 PM ET
Contender
Battlesuggs • 03/30/26 02:26 PM ET
Contender indeed to make "the dance" (the ACC tournament dance that is) **
Vippie1 • 03/30/26 05:02 PM ET
By not increasing the basketball budget **
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 02:31 PM ET
It sounds like the budget will be the same then and not decreasing?
MVIII • 03/30/26 02:42 PM ET
I have heard AT BEST they will have similar to this year...
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 04:55 PM ET
Falling behind, by standing still.**
HokieNL • 03/30/26 04:32 PM ET
NC State just committed to large increase. I think I saw $14 million.**
HokieDelNorte • 03/30/26 03:20 PM ET
Savings
Midwestguy • 03/30/26 04:42 PM ET
Not a contender or not competitive? To me is a big difference.
NC Hoke • 03/30/26 02:16 PM ET
Unless they make all of the exact right moves with the roster...
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 02:21 PM ET
Finally…a GC post I agree with**
NativeBurger • 03/30/26 10:59 PM ET
In a related story, icicles have just been spotted in Hades**
HokieNL • 03/31/26 12:14 AM ET
Kind of like this year then.
NC Hoke • 03/30/26 02:40 PM ET
Same funds as this year would be a huge win **
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 04:57 PM ET
That's too bad-The art of the not possible, even w/$47M added to the budget
GoldCoast • 03/30/26 03:32 PM ET
you shouldn't conflate the athletics budget with roster budget
ShockWaveVT • 03/31/26 12:22 AM ET
Well, it's looking like 2026-27 will be another tournament-less year
ancient alien 2018 • 03/31/26 10:01 PM ET
I mean, they should correlate fairly well and it’s a good…
GoldCoast • 03/31/26 06:38 PM ET
Or...they never had that much to begin with**
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 04:53 PM ET
He told us after the 24-25 season he never wanted to go through that again.
NC Hoke • 03/30/26 04:39 PM ET
Yup, sadly. **
