First, I have no idea what the money differential is between playing in

Lane or playing in Charlotte. Perhaps someone on here does. To me, it had better be a pretty big differential. VT publicly touts the Town-Gown relationship, but that's just lip service to keep the Town approving off campus housing projects. Generally, VT dictates and the Town responds affirmatively. The first sentence is pretty much a "DUH!" Next, I didn't see Wisconsin moving it's home game to an off campus setting, say like Green Bay. Once again, the Great Negotiator worked his magic. And, once again, what about the fans?

I hope the extra money VT gains from selling the game is worth it. At this

No, but that is smart on VT's part from a CYA perspective. Try to sell a

I can agree with all that. But, when someone has to CYA,
saret • 04/02/26 09:32 AM ET
Exactly. Which is why their public explanation for the decision doesn't

Yeah, when they do offer any explanations (which is seldom)
