I love your analogy. So are we actually hurting our competitiveness by

trying to be something we are not? I will use the basketball analogy of a "system coach". Should we be making a longer term system investment and using our football resources to maximize our investment in that system?

I vote to divert our NIL money to BB. The FB experiment is over.**

My ultimate thought about TV money and conference alignment...

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.**
atlhokie1 • 09/25/24 08:54 PM ET
Honestly it would be pretty similar to what they currently have
GCHokie34 • 09/25/24 09:19 PM ET
Didn't Texas already do that with the Longhorn Network?**
hoosnowahokie • 09/24/24 03:26 PM ET
Sort of! But yeah, along those lines**
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 03:29 PM ET
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
hoosnowahokie • 09/24/24 03:31 PM ET
The irony is it is the “wine and cheese” crowd
wahoo2023 • 09/25/24 09:29 AM ET
I think UVA is closer to right than VT at this stage
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/24/24 02:51 PM ET
UVA is cutting some fat, its T/F is cutting 13 positions because of NIL

I do feel like privately, WB would tell you he's trying to find a glide

While football is disappointing, the numbers say we need to stick with it
HokieAl • 09/23/24 08:53 PM ET
Football has been horrible...for a while
GCHokie34 • 09/23/24 09:19 PM ET
That's the point. Bad football is bringing in $68m in revenue.
HokieAl • 09/23/24 09:41 PM ET
If you're of the opinion that there's a football product VT can reach...
GCHokie34 • 09/23/24 09:54 PM ET
How are you making that jump from my post? I never said top 20 in revenue

I say that because here's the thing...
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
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 09:28 AM ET
What are the issues other schools don't have to contend with?
hokeyhokie • 09/24/24 09:01 AM ET
Geography, population, demographic...
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 09:11 AM ET
Wasn't VTs athletic dept financiallly competitive with other major schools
hokeyhokie • 09/24/24 01:21 PM ET
To answer the other part of your point...
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 02:56 PM ET
What do you believe.........

You know all those commercials we've seen in the past year

Every conference has its own Twitter, IG etc.

GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 08:50 AM ET
Their database is wrong. It has 2021 data copied in 2022 for all schools

True, the actual numbers are inside...

Femoyer Hokie • 09/24/24 10:03 AM ET
In my opinion yes
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 11:11 AM ET
I think this is where the discussion diverges. It's a matter of perspective
HokieAl • 09/24/24 11:57 AM ET
This is the crux of the debate. Well put. **
Pride_and_Joy • 09/26/24 06:41 AM ET
That's more of a one-time thing for UVA.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/24/24 08:59 AM ET
As you stated...
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 09:19 AM ET
Yeah, definitely agree there.
