FYI, when AD White talks about revenue, he is looking at a big hill

I think everyone here knows that VT is playing catch up with the money and trying to better match what the top ACC teams are doing. But I think it's important for us all to realize just how much more the blue blood programs have, because that will eventually be our target for competition. All revenue data is sourced from the Knight-Newhouse college athletics database. Data shown below is for the most recent public records for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. This is total revenue for the athletic department at each public school. ** Edited by HokieAl at 6/26/2026, 4:45:51 PM ** Edited by HokieAl at 6/26/2026, 5:13:25 PM
