Whit’s athletic dept has done just enough to keep his head above water

why Sands?**

It’s perplexing how innovative Sands is with research/growth of academics
kingofcassell • 04/11/25 10:42 PM ET
many VT people have hated him from the start. From the outside, I don't

Tech Doing Well...EXCEPT for Most (not all) Sports

Many people have no idea what Sands does/does not do**

He seems to be doing what he came to VT for...

that's what it looks like to me.**
reestuart • 04/11/25 02:34 PM ET
Lets face it...his job isn't to run the athletic department.
EDGEMAN • 04/11/25 02:38 PM ET
Yep**
HOaKIE • 04/11/25 02:19 PM ET
Harsh, though well-written. I wish it could be easily dismissed.**
PhilosopHoo • 04/11/25 01:32 PM ET
Wow: "But it also revealed a visionless, parasitic administration..."**
WestyHokie • 04/11/25 01:02 PM ET
That appears to be a peronal hack
1947Sunbowl • 04/11/25 04:04 PM ET
Nobody…I repeat, nobody here thought Whit was a bad hire the first 2-3 yrs.**

For ATHLETICS, eg Whit. Vt.edu is doing great, Sands is getting it done.
Fatman • 04/11/25 02:12 PM ET
Agreed. Which is why it's frustrating that the AD is allowed to flounder.
Gobbler Guru • 04/11/25 05:38 PM ET
Fans tolerate Whits failures. This level of failure would not be accepted
