VTCALS72 • 04/20/24 07:12 AM ET
I'd say ok. P2 doesn't fix anything.**
40ozDistrict • 04/20/24 09:54 PM ET
Let's get rid of football instead
Happy Dog • 04/20/24 07:10 AM ET
If we drop football we lose 36 million. How does that make any sense? **
Hoakie82 • 04/22/24 03:54 PM ET
Go back to being student-athletes
Happy Dog • 04/22/24 04:53 PM ET
Guessing expenses to fund lower division programs comes from tuition. They

Dogbert • 04/20/24 04:16 PM ET
$23M ain't a few dollars in my mind. Seriously how can one justify that
40ozDistrict • 04/20/24 02:29 AM ET
Title IX**
UEMcGill • 04/20/24 11:24 AM ET
Just get rid of Title IX

Are these posts the TSL version of clickbait? **
HokieSpartan • 04/21/24 03:43 PM ET
Damn, you must be real drunk. You're posting above to get rid of football.

Allow each school to decide which sports they wish to provide, and let each
SHPHOKIE • 04/20/24 12:50 PM ET
I 100% respectfully disagree with this.
GobblerCE • 04/19/24 09:12 PM ET
Top priority should be 7 home games each year IMO, instead of 6**
Scream_On_D • 04/19/24 07:04 PM ET
Can we get to 7 wins or more consistently
GreenvilleVT • 04/20/24 01:59 PM ET
That's what Clemson did.
EDGEMAN • 04/19/24 03:42 PM ET
yes but its changed from when they cut back
DMV Gobbler • 04/19/24 06:19 PM ET
Not proposing a reduced expense mode. Allocating $$ where it works instead.
40ozDistrict • 04/19/24 06:54 PM ET
Sponsoring sports where we are a perpetual "bottom dweller" doesn't help...
EDGEMAN • 04/20/24 08:02 AM ET
Your entire supposition is that other sports are not worthy.....
Happy Dog • 04/20/24 12:14 PM ET
It appears we're correcting our football situation

2hhoop3 • 04/19/24 07:56 PM ET
If you are power conference program and don't have swimming, you suck
Happy Dog • 04/20/24 12:21 PM ET
Agreed. Prioritize FB, MBB, WBB, Softball, Wrestling as they have a chance.
40ozDistrict • 04/19/24 04:02 PM ET
Good strategy for now. If VT lands in a P2 conference
TOUGH TURKEY • 04/19/24 05:59 PM ET
