That's more of a one-time thing for UVA.

They were at $105 million the previous fiscal year, and between $92 and $106 million in previous years. Their "contributions" jumped up by about $40 million, which means some donation got applied that they count towards the bottom line, but which won't be there on a year-to-year basis in the future. Of course, you can make the argument that our FEF money is similar, and it's not guaranteed to be there after another couple of years.

That's basically what the Supreme Court case in the early 80s was about.

Can't see VT having much negotiating room at the present with FB or BB.**

Honestly it would be pretty similar to what they currently have

Sorry to maybe hijack the thread but have a few thoughts as to uva/vt
wahoo2023 09/24/24 12:36 PM ET
Yes, I think VT ultimately cuts some sports. Very interested to see how

I think UVA is closer to right than VT at this stage

That's the point. Bad football is bringing in $68m in revenue.

GCHokie34 09/23/24 10:41 PM ET
I do not believe your first line.
Atlee Hokie 09/24/24 09:23 AM ET
The argument is you can't play "good competitive football" on a y2y basis

This is the crux of the debate. Well put. **
