can't close that gap.

bball? That has to the be the conclusion. You'd think that schools would take a more balanced approach than they do. I completely understand this for Wake and Duke. I would think that a bigger school like VT would have the pot split somewhat evenly. A lot of schools have better funding than VT, but it seems like when it comes to getting talent, VT football is executing a lot better than basketball. VT seems to be getting some good bball players, so maybe it isn't as bad as it seems. It just seems that if you can run a decent football NIL, you should be able to run a better basketball NIL than we are. Its either that usual management shortcomings that have been going on for over a decade, or it is robbing Peter to pay Paul, since this is such a critical time for fielding a decent football team, due to realignment. I'd rather see VT axe salaries on non-rev sports to get basketball elevated.

NIL / demand from other schools might not have been much of a factor. I know nothing about his particular situation. He could have been injured, but may also be a bust. Seems odd that 5 - star recruit contributed so little.

Long, athletic... mind needs to catch up with his athleticism. Probably a really nice long-term piece for WF. Assuming they can keep him if he does indeed blossom there! Crazy NIL world...

I would think Forbes may be getting a warm backside if he doesn’t make the dance this year.

more with his talent. ** Edited by lazarus1 at 4/24/2024, 11:17:24 PM

CMY two ncaa appearances and an acc championship. We have had a couple bad losses vs WF but overall I think Young and Forbes are square since they’ve went head to head in the acc
