Tired of all the whining
If we can just get 100,000 VT alumni to give just $500 we can neutralized these stinking oligarchs . LOL, I think we can now realize why the Hokie Club doesn't even really try much anymore. The VTAD BetaMax model aint working very well in a 2026 world.

Here's why most ACC basketball programs can't compete with the BIG BOYS

Kind of a mixed bag of "BIG BOYS" as the top team didn't make the NCAAs..
..as well as two others on this list. And Roughly half had double digit losses or so. It isn't quite so black and white. The "poor" peeps are competing with these guys just fine outside of 3-4 on this list who for sure dominate with their war chests. I just hope that VT would stop running and funding their program like it is the Big South (I guess that's why we love MY). VT can certainly do better and don't think we have to match these teams (or cry as we do nothing) to compete or make the NCAAs (which is the goal).

Traditional BIG BOYS. One NCAAT doesn't drop them down to mid-tier.

I don't believe this includes NIL
