I hope this is true.**

A relic from days past which hasn’t added value to the program.**
GSOHokie01 • 07/31/25 01:45 PM ET
Any idea on timing?**

Never forget John Ballein going after Mike Goforth....
AirborneHokie96 • 07/31/25 05:02 PM ET
The man is just an ass all around. He couldnt be anymore opposite than FB.

There were multiples....**

Ballein only cares about himself, not VT...**
NokieHokie • 07/31/25 05:06 PM ET
he's getting that golden parachute **
kingofcassell • 07/31/25 02:31 PM ET
Fu would like to give him something golden, and it isn't a parachute.**
EDGEMAN • 07/31/25 04:45 PM ET
He would probably get a Thank You card now from Fu
AirborneHokie96 • 07/31/25 05:03 PM ET
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Whit go at the same time if this is true.

I agree with you. Now VT needs to start winning more of these marquee
VTHokie2000 • 07/31/25 11:43 AM ET
What do you call marquee games?

Will be replaced by WfVU. Trophy game. Lets go!**

Me too, short trip to watch the Hokies in 757.**
hokietony • 07/31/25 10:36 AM ET
Wonder what the buyout for ODU would be?**
AirborneHokie96 • 07/31/25 10:30 AM ET

Maybe so, but I think it is slightly smaller than the Scope. It may even
VTHokie2000 • 08/04/25 10:17 AM ET
The article said we committed to bringing ODU men’s bball to VT for 1 game.
Hokie`79 • 07/31/25 01:02 PM ET
That was all we needed to offer to seal the fb deal is the way I see it.**
IB4TECH • 07/31/25 04:28 PM ET
