I vote to divert our NIL money to BB. The FB experiment is over.**
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/22/24 03:09 PM ET
Announce that at the sold out football game 🙈$$$$$**

And if the AD tried to shift that money to other than football, ...
Atlee Hokie • 09/24/24 03:56 PM ET
My ultimate thought about TV money and conference alignment...
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 03:15 PM ET
That's basically what the Supreme Court case in the early 80s was about.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 10/03/24 07:40 AM ET
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

Great debate below.......
2hhoop3 • 09/24/24 12:35 PM ET
Did you ever read the book "good to great"? Food for thought. **
ColoVT82 • 09/24/24 02:38 PM ET
I have not read......
2hhoop3 • 09/24/24 02:47 PM ET
I do feel like privately, WB would tell you he's trying to find a glide
WildTurkE • 09/24/24 12:59 PM ET
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
HokieAl • 09/23/24 10:08 PM ET
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.........
2hhoop3 • 09/24/24 03:10 PM ET
You know all those commercials we've seen in the past year
hoosnowahokie • 09/24/24 03:33 PM ET
Being a bully...
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 03:18 PM ET
I agree .........
2hhoop3 • 09/24/24 03:29 PM ET
Every conference has its own Twitter, IG etc.
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 05:14 PM ET
Perhaps........
2hhoop3 • 09/24/24 05:29 PM ET
Recruiting was regional then...
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 02:48 PM ET
WADR, this argument is a broken record..

Anyone know how Frank Beamer addressed TikTok with his players?**

Nebraska athletics exceeded $200M in FY23

Graduates stay in Nebraska? Funny!

How many graduates have the ability to stay in Blacksburg even if they want**
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 11:58 AM ET
There are opportunities, people just don't want to live in a place
hoosnowahokie • 09/24/24 03:25 PM ET
I think you're spot on
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 03:28 PM ET
How many Nebraska graduates have to opportunity to stay in Nebraska?**
huskerHokie • 09/24/24 12:04 PM ET
About 7 times as many as VT...** ◄
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 12:06 PM ET
Where are you getting your data from? UVA and Indiana are not top 15 in rev
HokieAl • 09/23/24 11:21 PM ET
Your point is true, especially what sport department is gonna raise profile
HokieRat • 09/24/24 10:39 AM ET
USAToday**
GCHokie34 • 09/24/24 08:50 AM ET
Their database is wrong. It has 2021 data copied in 2022 for all schools
HokieAl • 09/24/24 09:15 AM ET
True, the actual numbers are inside...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/24/24 09:30 AM ET
I love your analogy. So are we actually hurting our competitiveness by
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.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/24/24 09:26 AM ET
Fundraising at VT is very complicated for sure. Sometimes I think very

Here's the thing, both of you are actually arguing the same thing...
Gobbler-100 • 09/24/24 12:44 AM ET
I fear GC is right on this one
