I know we all want a better team.
hokiehowl • 01/05/26 04:24 PM ET
So does anyone donate to the NFL, NBA or MLB?
Hokey Pokey • 01/06/26 10:44 AM ET
Not me!

1 of my best friends growing up played for Army 84-88. High character guy. **
TboneParkerVT • 01/06/26 12:16 AM ET
While I understand the sentiment
Rationalist • 01/05/26 08:32 PM ET
Army is a great program.
GreenvilleVT • 01/05/26 07:42 PM ET
It's a nice weekend at West Point in the Fall
AirborneHokie96 • 01/05/26 07:58 PM ET
Most agree it won't be sustainable in 4-5 years
NOFX • 01/05/26 06:34 PM ET
I’m pretty certain the sec and the big 10 aren’t diluting their revenues
GreenvilleVT • 01/05/26 07:44 PM ET
Why would the B10 and SEC breakaway?
AirborneHokie96 • 01/05/26 06:42 PM ET
Athletic leadership believes its going toward P2...
Techsupport • 01/06/26 09:02 AM ET
But is it unsustainable to the B10?
AirborneHokie96 • 01/06/26 11:22 AM ET
4 way pie split 2 way? Lots of possibilities.**
Techsupport • 01/06/26 12:47 PM ET
I just don't see it
AirborneHokie96 • 01/06/26 12:54 PM ET
They HAD the biggest slices, yet gutted the P10 and B12 anyway...
Techsupport • 01/06/26 01:19 PM ET
I agree...they will expand their own conferences but
AirborneHokie96 • 01/06/26 01:23 PM ET
Expansion is "breaking away"...
Techsupport • 01/06/26 01:32 PM ET
They already control the vast majority of CFB media revenue
AirborneHokie96 • 01/06/26 01:48 PM ET
Talking past each other. peace.**
Techsupport • 01/06/26 02:05 PM ET
They know it's not sustainable either
NOFX • 01/05/26 06:47 PM ET
But that is NIL money
AirborneHokie96 • 01/05/26 06:50 PM ET
They wouldn't give it up
NOFX • 01/05/26 07:26 PM ET
Removing a school like Purdue from the B10 is basically impossible...
AirborneHokie96 • 01/05/26 07:53 PM ET
10 years ago, I would have agreed with all of this**
NOFX • 01/05/26 08:42 PM ET
10 years ago, the schools were getting $32.4 million each
AirborneHokie96 • 01/05/26 09:04 PM ET
Well said........
2hhoop3 • 01/05/26 08:09 PM ET
No one in B10 Country talks anything about removing members
AirborneHokie96 • 01/05/26 09:10 PM ET
I would not disagree.....
2hhoop3 • 01/05/26 09:24 PM ET
They won't willing which is why it will evolve or de-volve into a version
VTHokie2000 • 01/05/26 07:21 PM ET
Won't happen with the B10...see above**
AirborneHokie96 • 01/05/26 07:54 PM ET
Currently, you are right the Big Ten isn't looking to cull the herd.
VTHokie2000 • 01/05/26 08:05 PM ET
But why? Their revenue is not stagnating at all.
AirborneHokie96 • 01/05/26 08:08 PM ET
They may not have a choice because enough of the other DI schools decide
VTHokie2000 • 01/05/26 08:34 PM ET
NCAA has limited legal authority to regulate NIL...
AirborneHokie96 • 01/05/26 09:08 PM ET
What you and others may not realize is the schools ARE the NCAA because the
VTHokie2000 • 01/06/26 02:17 AM ET
I am very familiar with the NCAA and their workings
AirborneHokie96 • 01/06/26 11:44 AM ET
Then why did the House vs. NCAA settlement establish a revenue sharing cap?
VTHokie2000 • 01/06/26 12:54 PM ET
The argument sounds sophisticated but collapses the moment ...
AirborneHokie96 • 01/06/26 01:07 PM ET
Well the House settlement was a factor that led St. Francis (PA)
VTHokie2000 • 01/06/26 01:45 PM ET
St. Francis
AirborneHokie96 • 01/06/26 01:51 PM ET
It appears the Very Rev. Joseph Lehman disagrees with you. At least that
VTHokie2000 • 01/06/26 02:35 PM ET
Rev. Joseph Lehman
AirborneHokie96 • 01/06/26 02:47 PM ET
Except I never said "DI forces schools to hit the revenue‑sharing cap."
VTHokie2000 • 01/06/26 06:30 PM ET
I agree. I would not give a penny to Football or Bassettball.**
VPI 1924 • 01/05/26 05:47 PM ET
I am not a NFL/NBA/MLB guy anyway
AirborneHokie96 • 01/05/26 06:33 PM ET
Technically, every season ticket holder is in…
Ship PA Hokie • 01/05/26 05:14 PM ET
We have to get that paragym straight
1947Sunbowl • 01/05/26 05:39 PM ET
Doesn't VT require season ticket holders to pay a seat license per seat in
VTHokie2000 • 01/05/26 07:51 PM ET
I am all in. Great to see University engaged**
RiverVT • 01/05/26 04:58 PM ET
Donated twice my normal annual gift to athletics and matched that ◄
HokieFlyFisher • 01/05/26 04:38 PM ET
Me. Donated 5 times my usual for this year**
