I see their lack of funds is effecting more than portal additions.

$15.6M in MBB rev with ~$6M surplus, I don't think VT is doing this right.

More money for football to put out best foot forward to present a case to
Get into the SEC when the ACC collapses. We must continue to fund football with everything we have until we are settled in our next conference.

That's rather simplistic. Not sure how MBB impacts football money
MBB generated a healthy surplus (more than self sustaining, returned ~60%), being good should equate to more dollars (bigger returns) vs letting the program tank b/c VT can't get a competitive NIL together, which is what - an additional $800k-$1M? It's a fail to me on the AD and our NIL program that we are going to sink to the bottom of the conference (and fall back on the old poor ol' VT excuses, how can we compete?), especially with the law changing in July that should open up additional $'s to invest for MY.

Did the same thing on me yesterday. Had to call to finalize selection.

For being a "Tech" school, our athletic department's computer system...
...has a lot of room for improvement.

This is not in-house, it is outsourced to ticket provider

That's not an excuse, IMO.

And we couldn't find a ticket provider with a working website?

The athetic department's decision on IT have been laughable
for over a decade. They just don't care enough to fix it, even if it impacts donations to Hokie Club. Our computer science folks have nothing to do with it because they've outsourced the whole bucket of crap.

And when you outsource important services to the low bidder, you get what
you describe as a " bucket of crap"!! Buy cheap=get cheap.

Happened to me last week as well. My best friend picked on Monday - system failed on him as well. Time to get rid of this clunky software and give us a bang for our buck.
