Going all in on football is a dangerous and slippery slope IMO. Our giving
BackInTheBurg • 03/29/24 02:31 PM ET
Not long ago Whitt was being criticized for not focusing enough on football
wwhokie1 • 03/29/24 03:40 PM ET
That’s why Whit…it’s Whit…gets paid the big bucks **
BackInTheBurg • 03/29/24 04:01 PM ET
He gets paid so much he should have 2 t's on his name! :)**
NokieHokie • 03/29/24 04:30 PM ET
I'll be interested to see what happens a couple of years from now.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 02:51 PM ET
We are undergoing a strategic inflection in the industry
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/29/24 02:37 PM ET
But it's a short-term sacrifice. Either it will pay off and we get in the
NokieHokie • 03/29/24 02:36 PM ET
This is the correct answer **
WestEndHokie39 • 03/30/24 08:37 AM ET
Yep. I probably knew the answer before I posted. But it made me feel better
BackInTheBurg • 03/29/24 02:44 PM ET
Yes, I've been writing about that for several months now.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 12:02 PM ET
We got a coach (Pry) that prioritizes relationships, hitting VA hard EARLY

question about NIL and approach
DMV Gobbler • 03/29/24 02:31 PM ET
I think Triumph itself is focused on football.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 02:33 PM ET
Thank you **
DMV Gobbler • 03/29/24 06:07 PM ET
This is the correct strategy. However, the basketball fans are learning
VT ChemE 1986 • 03/29/24 02:18 PM ET
We can get better at the Moneyball aspects of it, IMO.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 02:25 PM ET
Essentially, would you rather lose Kidd or Jennings, Felton, and Lane
soflahokie • 03/29/24 03:10 PM ET
I meant within it's own budget, MBB can do a little better.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 03:12 PM ET
100%**
Cvillehoops13 • 03/29/24 02:28 PM ET
Agree. On the men’s side it seems like the non graduating players
Ruffian99 • 03/29/24 01:46 PM ET
I didn't read those articles. I guess I should subscribe.
hburghokie09 • 03/29/24 01:16 PM ET
No one is going to make an announcement saying that the VT donor base
HokieFanDC • 03/29/24 01:32 PM ET
Correct, that's one of those things you have to figure out yourself.
Hokie 04 • 03/29/24 03:21 PM ET
Coach Brooks kinda said that in his welcome to Ky presser yesterday. **
pokiehokie83 • 03/29/24 02:50 PM ET
He’s doing the same thing he did before
st_andrew • 03/29/24 12:44 PM ET
Always reacting versus being pro-active. I’ve seen behind the curtain
GOHOKEE • 03/29/24 08:41 PM ET
The idea should be.......
2hhoop3 • 03/29/24 04:18 PM ET
Proactive? VT Athletics? Unique concept!**
Buzzardlip • 03/29/24 04:49 PM ET
I agree he could do a better job.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 12:53 PM ET
FB, MBB, WBB, wrestling, baseball, softball?**
Pride_and_Joy • 03/29/24 01:21 PM ET
I would think the spectator sports would get the most attention, yes.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 01:23 PM ET
Seems like football needs to reign supreme.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/29/24 01:40 PM ET
I just don’t see the proof of this theory out there.
st_andrew • 03/29/24 02:26 PM ET
So cut the golf team, swimming, etc. **
Pride_and_Joy • 03/29/24 04:02 PM ET
Why cut teams that are successful? I.e. swimming.**
VTFan29 • 03/29/24 04:08 PM ET

Pride_and_Joy • 03/29/24 04:52 PM ET
I heard this before :)**

VTFan29 • 03/29/24 04:55 PM ET
I don’t really care.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/29/24 05:04 PM ET
I'm inclined to agree with a lot of what you say.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 02:47 PM ET
Careful, I said the exact same thing a few days ago and ruffled many
vatechcowpatty • 03/29/24 01:34 PM ET
Haha, I know, I read that.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 01:43 PM ET
NIL should be structured the way it sounds
ACC_Hoops • 03/29/24 01:16 PM ET
I’m not convinced that our win - loss record
ginnyhokie1 • 03/29/24 12:28 PM ET
My thoughts exactly
1977hokie • 03/29/24 01:54 PM ET
I don't disagree with you.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/29/24 12:31 PM ET
You are correct. Whit has set a priority, and is doing what he is
saret • 03/29/24 12:19 PM ET
Unfortunately its looking like too little too late. Hopefully we have a
