It's gonna be wild when Miami beats IU in the championship.**
Hokie Rebel • 01/09/26 11:15 PM ET
Would love it!
KrazyVTfan • 01/10/26 10:22 AM ET
Ohio St. is the one common opponent and Miami had a more impressive win.
Hokie Rebel • 01/10/26 10:33 PM ET
I hope Indiana beats Miami by so many points that

No way**

AirborneHokie96 • 01/09/26 11:23 PM ET
I did not realize how bad of a program Indiana has been. Money does buy
VTMONEY94 • 01/09/26 11:31 PM ET
IU and VT are two very different situations and environments
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 12:03 AM ET
When IU loses their head coach.
VPI 1924 • 01/10/26 11:13 AM ET
I don't know Indiana like you do
crazylane • 01/10/26 10:14 AM ET
Basketball team has had terrible coaches at Indiana **
OrlandoHokie • 01/10/26 12:17 PM ET
Their stadium isn’t really -that- small. 52+ capacity, but had 4 crowds
reestuart • 01/10/26 11:07 AM ET
I looked it up
crazylane • 01/10/26 12:24 PM ET
Bull****. They are all *****s of the system and you know it. Just because
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 12:14 AM ET
Wow.**
BMoreHokie • 01/10/26 01:14 AM ET
IU has a lot more money than VT and it's sustainable
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 12:26 AM ET
Still not enough. **
VPI 1924 • 01/10/26 11:15 AM ET
We have not taped into our giving because Whit is a compete failure. I am

What is the status on Babcock?
RiverVT • 01/10/26 10:31 AM ET
From what I’ve heard he’s running around trying to keep track

Thanks for sharing **

IU is a founding member of the B10 ...they weren't getting kicked out
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 12:36 AM ET
They have obviously, just like Duke, Vandy, etc., have rode the coattails
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 12:39 AM ET
Coattails
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 12:57 AM ET
I was being hooish on the academic rating. Calm down Rama, I am
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 01:00 AM ET
There is no scenario where the Big Ten would have ever in a million years
reestuart • 01/10/26 12:44 AM ET
Indiana University has won 25 NCAA team national championships
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 12:59 AM ET
I hope they get it. **
reestuart • 01/10/26 01:04 AM ET
My Purdue grad wife was pulling for them tonight.
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 01:05 AM ET
I understand that. Same with Duke and BC or whoever. My point is, those
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 12:46 AM ET
Even during bad football years
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 01:04 AM ET
And you know AAU is a complete farce. The criteria is all over the place.
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 01:06 AM ET
Somewhat like a good old boys club. They decide who they want to join ....
Atlee Hokie • 01/10/26 11:48 AM ET
But its something the B10 values highly**
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 01:07 AM ET
I don't want to be in the B10 but I do think we will get AAU status in due
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 01:11 AM ET
IU has almost 4X the living alumni VT does. They also have billionaires
reestuart • 01/10/26 12:23 AM ET
In 2024, the gap between the schools was $48M in Athletic Department $$$
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 12:32 AM ET
Yep, and the disparity will only grow. **
reestuart • 01/10/26 12:33 AM ET
And, until now, they have done zip. We have not tapped into the alumni
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 12:26 AM ET
Who are the alumni who will make up the difference in conference revenue?
reestuart • 01/10/26 12:32 AM ET
Well, we finally got serious too. The plan is 3-4 years to get into

I am not sure what is not understood. This "life raft" is exactly the
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 12:49 AM ET
They may have rolled the dice but the game is undetermined
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 01:08 AM ET
Again, If they figure out they can make a $1 they will expand**
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 01:10 AM ET
Yes. VT got serious. But VT doesn’t have that kind of money. Not close. **
reestuart • 01/10/26 12:39 AM ET
This has to do with the next 3-4 years. That is our goal**
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 12:41 AM ET
It needs to pay off immediately, or could be trouble. **
reestuart • 01/10/26 12:45 AM ET
It's desperation....
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 01:07 AM ET
I am sure you understand things change. Business, life, etc. Everyone
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 01:09 AM ET
But with the current B10 deal, they are adding $1 to the bottom line
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 01:11 AM ET
I understand that. Do you not think the environment will change? Of
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 01:14 AM ET
I know a few folks in B10 athletic departments
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 01:44 AM ET
The IU have done a lot over the years....
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 12:31 AM ET
I don’t think that’s what happened here. Indiana didn’t buy wins. **
HokieCRNA • 01/09/26 11:38 PM ET
They had the financial backing under Tom Allen
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 12:05 AM ET
They are spending plenty of money.....
VTMONEY94 • 01/09/26 11:44 PM ET
I just mean that he didn’t overspend on a bunch of big names..
HokieCRNA • 01/10/26 07:59 PM ET
Tom Allen was making $4.9M in 2021...more than VT was paying Pry
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 12:13 AM ET
Nope. Don't fly. Good luck sustaining that without making a mockery of
VTMONEY94 • 01/10/26 12:16 AM ET
They have been sustaining that for years thanks to the B10 and better
AirborneHokie96 • 01/10/26 12:28 AM ET
Indiana lives on the transfer portal. They can't recruit HS players.
carhokies • 01/10/26 12:06 AM ET
It is if you know what you are doing. Surratt was a zero star. Mendoza
