It’s an attempt to eat some chunks of that huge elephant objective

For a better Outcome than today. An attempt to move us forward. But with much, I’ve always believed in the bell shaped curve…in this case….of those that like it & those ambivalent &….. …. the others… And so it is with Hokie football…

Keep in mind half of the increase is from “donors”

Things will change with University Development
1947Sunbowl • 10/02/25 03:16 PM ET
funny, no one sees the progress the University team delivers
1947Sunbowl • 10/02/25 03:07 PM ET

CPVT3 • 10/03/25 06:38 AM ET

AirborneHokie96 • 10/02/25 11:28 AM ET
Have to agree with you. Those fundraising goals are lofty. **

You make a fair point - we fans can't talk out of both sides of our mouths.
MP4VT2004 • 10/01/25 06:29 PM ET
Believe it or not, I've heard lower level athletes are getting paid too.
91HokieBob • 10/02/25 11:40 AM ET
Yeah, I've been off the bus for a while. I don't watch or complain anymore.**
MP4VT2004 • 10/02/25 11:50 AM ET
I think it is a question of value

Message board obsessives are a very negative bunch, by nature. They will

They are also a very numerous bunch
Beerman • 10/01/25 04:12 PM ET
Actually they're not that numerous. Just loud & repetitive.**

You can say that again (TIC)**

Better late than never I suppose, but we had an opportunity with Fuente to

money = better coaches = better team = more relevance nationally
VaPoly07 • 10/02/25 07:19 AM ET
You're assuming because YOU don't think it will work that it won't work.
marcbvtgm • 10/01/25 05:49 PM ET
Valid questions worth asking particularly when you include the observations
VTHokie2000 • 10/01/25 03:53 PM ET
I think it boils down to 2 issues

But haven’t students been paying for fellow students to attend VT with
techer1983 • 10/01/25 07:24 PM ET
Scholarships for academic performance are expected and widely considered
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/02/25 10:50 AM ET
Not really. Students are still paying for other students to attend the

Does anybody post about student rights & expenses wrt textbook costs?
marcbvtgm • 10/01/25 05:59 PM ET
True. This is a complex issue.
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/02/25 10:52 AM ET
I understand (and to a point agree with) the pushback
Upwind of uva • 10/01/25 04:59 PM ET
My purpose was not to make a balanced argument
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/01/25 05:11 PM ET

VT ChemE 1986 • 10/02/25 10:48 AM ET
The customer is not always right

VT ChemE 1986 • 10/02/25 11:03 AM ET
I'm terribly sorry that you find the difference between a specious argument
Upwind of uva • 10/02/25 11:58 AM ET
That's a hard framing of a narrative if I've ever seen one.
