to go all in on NIL to poach the best players in FB and MBB your money can get in order to try an elevate the program. Give the fans something to be excited for and the money streams will flow. As it is right now, yes we are losing the arms raise, but we are sill spending a crap ton of money just to tread water. Nothing exciting to cheer for. Sure, planning a weekend to Blacksburg is still fun, but I'm no longer arranging my Saturdays to accommodate VT football. Half the time, I don't even know when the men's BB games are on, and when I do tune in to watch, I don't know half the roster. Not invested at all anymore. I suspect that sentiment is widely shared among most Hokie and college alumni, outside the SEC and the top 4 Big10. That probably changes though when a fanbase has realist optimism. ** Edited by goodbadugly at 5/19/2025, 11:09:42 AM
