NIL funds can be handled by the university independent of Triumph...

Since July of 2025. That doesnt mean the school doesnt still coordinate with Triumph to pull this off...but they can legally distribute NIL on their own

A Little NIL Perspective: Building an NCAA Roster in 2026
jjbeat • 05/04/26 04:36 PM ET
Quick search says UT MBB program generated $12M in profit, FWIW.**
40ozDistrict • 05/05/26 12:21 PM ET
How much NIL dd the fans provide for the team to generate that profit?**
JM397 • 05/05/26 02:20 PM ET
Help me understand what youre asking...
GCHokie34 • 05/05/26 03:38 PM ET
Funding for coaches vs funding for athletes...
Gobbler Guru • 05/06/26 01:53 PM ET
Agree there is no way to know exactly what "all in" is in terms of $$$.

I mean...there's a way...
GCHokie34 • 05/06/26 09:48 AM ET
no doubt.

GC, this is an excellent, excellent post. Bravo!**

I thought NIL is an “off books” expense since it is not paid by the school
Femoyer Hokie • 05/05/26 03:59 PM ET
July of last year was the start when you could bring NIL in-house
GCHokie34 • 05/05/26 05:18 PM ET
I believe the University can not touch funds that are NIL
Nelsonia Hokie • 05/07/26 12:34 PM ET
Not true**
GCHokie34 • 05/07/26 04:43 PM ET
That is what the AD stated**
Nelsonia Hokie • 05/07/26 06:36 PM ET
There is a lot of context missing here...
GCHokie34 • 05/07/26 06:44 PM ET
Are we finished adding to our current roster for this season?**
YBYSAIAHokie • 05/05/26 12:14 PM ET
No, my bet is they add at least 3 probably 4 more
GCHokie34 • 05/05/26 05:20 PM ET
From the portal? I thought it was closed.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 05/06/26 12:32 PM ET
Likely 2-3 from the portal, 1-2 HS
GCHokie34 • 05/06/26 12:40 PM ET
Doubt it. IF they can find 2-3 more, another big, a PG and a 3-4 wing.**

5 million?That's like the 10th overall NBA pick. This is insane,competing
HokieBrazil • 05/05/26 07:50 AM ET
Ky spent 20 million last year and now the faithful want the HC gone.
ancient alien 2018 • 05/04/26 06:21 PM ET
That's the thing - if VT spends $5-10MM on a roster and makes the
hokiehill1117 • 05/05/26 08:34 AM ET
Yeah - no one is asking to match TN in this example….
GoldCoast • 05/06/26 09:43 AM ET
Unless youre including rev share, VT did not spend 5-10 mil this season**
GCHokie34 • 05/05/26 03:41 PM ET
I wouldn't but that's just me.**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/05/26 10:24 AM ET
I am curious what your target budget would be for VT basketball
hokiehill1117 • 05/05/26 01:29 PM ET
To be competitive, $8-10 million. 22 wins most seasons. Will it
ancient alien 2018 • 05/05/26 02:26 PM ET
I think we are on the same page - if we get to spending $8-10MM with
hokiehill1117 • 05/06/26 08:54 AM ET
Is that 8 to ten include rev share? or just nil**

hokiehill1117 • 05/06/26 02:49 PM ET
To me it waters down the meaning of it all.
NC Hoke • 05/04/26 05:39 PM ET
Waters down the meaning of what? Only difference now is it's in the open.**

Between the NIL and the related "rent a player" for a year model the care
