Yup. I posted this inside on the Sub Board this morning.

FSU spent $403M to downsize the stadium. Dropped 12K seats. **
40ozDistrict • 08/12/25 07:57 PM ET
BUT the new premium seating is offered 4x the price

Army is spending $170 million to renovate Michie Stadium...all private

Clemson raised $40 million in private funds for a new boat house and women
GreenvilleVT • 08/14/25 12:28 PM ET

VTAD/HOKIE CLUB MOTTO - "Jobs for Family Members"**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/13/25 11:48 AM ET
Having been enlisted for 11 years I'm not a fan of the academy snobs, lol**
40ozDistrict • 08/12/25 09:20 PM ET
I wasn't either until...
AirborneHokie96 • 08/12/25 10:30 PM ET
No finger pointing, but all have part of this shortfall
1947Sunbowl • 08/11/25 11:08 PM ET
Point at me. I have no interest in financially supporting this new model. **
40ozDistrict • 08/12/25 12:48 PM ET
Great. If it’s a business spin it off so it’s 100% self supported**
ModerateHokie • 08/12/25 08:26 AM ET
So the students can cough up another $10 million in fees
GreenvilleVT • 08/11/25 04:40 PM ET
All schools do this ot
1947Sunbowl • 08/12/25 06:18 AM ET
Of course they do.
GreenvilleVT • 08/12/25 06:34 AM ET
So you already know this will be a 6 win season again? Crystal Ball?**
ancient alien 2018 • 08/11/25 07:42 PM ET
The trend is your friend. **
GreenvilleVT • 08/12/25 05:18 AM ET
Or keep paying less than everyone else & watch JMU & Liberty pass us by**
hokiepro • 08/11/25 07:33 PM ET
At this point, I don’t have a problem with that. This is no different…
GSOHokie01 • 08/11/25 10:29 PM ET
Well that’s the thing. The only ones who have any right to complain
hokiepro • 08/12/25 06:11 AM ET
Maybe the alumni can step up.
GreenvilleVT • 08/12/25 05:20 AM ET
Thanks for the summary - I’m sure that was a fun one
CMU Hokie • 08/11/25 04:19 PM ET
I have two other issues with Babcock's deck
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/11/25 03:48 PM ET
If I am reading this correctly, we are intending to charge our students
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/11/25 02:38 PM ET
Absurd for kids getting an education to contribute to athlete's salaries. **
40ozDistrict • 08/12/25 12:54 PM ET
it has already been done
hokieninsurance • 08/11/25 03:48 PM ET
Sock it to them
tallahasseehokie • 08/13/25 09:07 PM ET
criminal**
ModerateHokie • 08/11/25 03:59 PM ET
Nope. Trying to catch up to even be close to peers in state **
hokiepro • 08/11/25 07:43 PM ET
Why do students have to increase their loans to pay for athletes & coaches
AirborneHokie96 • 08/12/25 07:56 PM ET
Understood. It is still wrong.
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/11/25 03:50 PM ET
football indirectly built a lot of the campus. VT looks different since 95 ◄
proudhokie2001 • 08/11/25 07:47 PM ET
The success of the football team had zero impact on my education
AirborneHokie96 • 08/12/25 07:57 PM ET
If VT can’t survive without high level athletics, it has lost its way.**
GSOHokie01 • 08/11/25 10:31 PM ET
Why can't we have both?**
91HokieBob • 08/12/25 04:02 PM ET
How many are willing to feed the beast?
GSOHokie01 • 08/12/25 07:37 PM ET
Because the increase in student fees isn't their money... **
AirborneHokie96 • 08/12/25 07:59 PM ET
And you are assuming that’s a good thing….
ModerateHokie • 08/11/25 10:21 PM ET
I transferred that year to VT...didn't care about wins or losses **
AirborneHokie96 • 08/12/25 07:59 PM ET
That’s a lot of money!
VPI 1924 • 08/11/25 02:50 PM ET
WTF is that supposed to mean?**
North Main Hokie • 08/11/25 03:23 PM ET
A nice slap in the face to our alumni 5 years from now…
GSOHokie01 • 08/11/25 02:49 PM ET
My oldest went to a B10 school, got a degree in software engineering
AirborneHokie96 • 08/12/25 08:02 PM ET
The whole thing has gotten completely and utterly ridiculous
Zanderhokie • 08/11/25 06:19 PM ET
For college football, I just bought into a luxury suite at Army
AirborneHokie96 • 08/12/25 08:05 PM ET
Service academy players are the only remaining true student athletes
Zanderhokie • 08/12/25 08:54 PM ET
With Army football, they rely on numbers
AirborneHokie96 • 08/12/25 10:27 PM ET
Now Now.....at least we aren't ......
Vippie1 • 08/11/25 05:58 PM ET
David this is incredible work by you to aggregate all this into an article
