Q: How do you make a million dollars and not pay taxes?

I guess my opinion overall - is I don't really like where this is going-but
bigbadbird • 09/22/25 10:35 AM ET
i'm sure I will be corrected- but in the TSL summary it mentions MORE SPend
bigbadbird • 09/22/25 10:26 AM ET
Since you won’t search for it, here it is in AB’s original story—>
BackInTheBurg • 09/22/25 10:33 AM ET
I read it- i just thought there had to be more since there was no NIL
bigbadbird • 09/22/25 10:37 AM ET
Got it. NIL is really a separate beast IMO. Tech will fully fund the $20.5

Happy Dog • 09/22/25 12:06 PM ET
You need to review the initial ask from Whit. Some of it will go toward Cap
BackInTheBurg • 09/22/25 10:11 AM ET
Some will go the overall department but the majority will end up going to

You're a quick read and study. You answered your own question in
saret • 09/22/25 09:50 AM ET
So it’s just money for the re-org?
wahoo2023 • 09/22/25 10:06 AM ET
Miami seems to be doing ok

Beck is an opposing offense away from being a bad decision - college aged
bigbadbird • 09/22/25 11:07 AM ET
You are hitting on the key point. How will the money be spent
HokieAl • 09/22/25 10:35 AM ET
No, it's not just exclusively for the re-org. The re-org is just part
saret • 09/22/25 10:25 AM ET
Well, that’s awesome, if the stewardship of the increased $$$ is sensible **

I’m surprised this isn't getting more coverage. Is vt going to have

You must have been out of town the last month **
AnotherTechW • 09/22/25 10:08 AM ET
i heard it mentioned on the broadcast, i saw tsl posts and the story today
brotherwood • 09/22/25 01:02 PM ET
It won't be voted on until September 30.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 09/22/25 09:38 AM ET
I believe it is expected to be announced around September 30**
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/25 09:33 AM ET
Some comparable numbers from ACC operation budgets
Andy BitterAdmin • 09/22/25 09:17 AM ET
Interesting that FSU has a $170 million budget and only 18 sponsored sports
Zanderhokie • 09/22/25 10:27 AM ET
Andy -- is the highest budget likely SMU?**
Pride_and_Joy • 09/22/25 09:40 AM ET
More likely Stanford or ND. Stanford has something like 35 teams.**
