Just get rid of Title IX

All that matters for collegiate athletics is revenue streams, TV money, and NIL. If we can get rid of womens' sports, there's just that much more money to pour into football staff, facilities, recruiting, coaches, uniforms, gold-plated weight rooms, ......... . Women can just form their own club sports teams and be happy with that.

What would you say if someone applied that logic
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

HokieAl • 04/19/24 09:14 PM ET

Dogbert • 04/20/24 04:16 PM ET
$23M ain't a few dollars in my mind. Seriously how can one justify that

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

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
