That is probably a fair assessment. FSU is an interesting case because it

could be in a similar position as Nebraska in terms or recovering/rebounding so it is no longer a peer again.

Question. DO you think VT financial situation is limiting candidates

No, the opportunity to compete for a championship is limited compared to

Academicallly we compete very well why cant we in athletics ??**
1947Sunbowl • 02/15/25 03:44 PM ET
Our entire coaching staff combined makes less than Dabo Swinney
dbc05 • 02/15/25 04:52 PM ET
Does that suggest that the leadership may not place as much importance
VTHokie2000 • 02/15/25 05:04 PM ET
Clemson athletics brings in $60 million more than us.
dbc05 • 02/15/25 05:16 PM ET
I agree it wouldn't be fiscally responsible for VT to try to accomplish
VTHokie2000 • 02/15/25 05:24 PM ET
I'm sure there are improvements that can and should be made, but
dbc05 • 02/15/25 05:52 PM ET
I agree with you that it would take a miracle to close the gap with the P2s
VTHokie2000 • 02/15/25 06:30 PM ET
Then who would be on a realistic list of VT's peers? Right now it seems
VTHokie2000 • 02/14/25 12:58 AM ET
According to our fan base, VT is ALWAYS at some sort of crossroads **

It may be true to a point because the only constant in this world is change

I'm not dragging anyone through the mud, just realistic
dbc05 • 02/15/25 05:06 PM ET
That may be true, but I wouldn't make that assumption about all posters.

By and large, it's the state schools in the ACC and B1G.**
marcbvtgm • 02/14/25 10:13 AM ET
WRT to the Big Ten state schools, I think VT's undergraduate enrollment
VTHokie2000 • 02/14/25 03:33 PM ET
However, do the larger schools have large satellite campuses?
Reston Hokie2 • 02/14/25 11:27 PM ET
Yes, some schools do have satellite campuses that can be potentially large.
VTHokie2000 • 02/15/25 04:04 AM ET
Sorry, I meant to post B12, not B1G.
marcbvtgm • 02/14/25 05:43 PM ET
No worries. If the gap between the P2s and the ACC/Big XII group
VTHokie2000 • 02/14/25 05:49 PM ET
Well VT needs to get their messaging and marketing right
1947Sunbowl • 02/14/25 09:35 AM ET
Hmmmm then please tell me who is the flagship school of the state? UVA?**
Reston Hokie2 • 02/14/25 11:24 AM ET
Yes, UVA is the flagship school of Virginia.
dbc05 • 02/15/25 05:55 PM ET
Agreed, what is interesting is the academic & research arms
Reston Hokie2 • 02/16/25 07:36 AM ET
I would still like to see VT continue to grow and get to a point where it
VTHokie2000 • 02/15/25 06:35 PM ET
It depends on how a person defines "flagship university." Here is a list
VTHokie2000 • 02/14/25 06:45 PM ET
In other words University of Virginia.

ombandit • 02/15/25 08:53 AM ET
Yes, I know but VTHokie2000 has a completely different criteria
Reston Hokie2 • 02/15/25 11:58 AM ET
Because the answer to your question isn't a black-n-white one.

I assume your comments are based on:

You can assume whatever you wish. However, my answer is based on research

Reston Hokie2 • 02/14/25 11:21 PM ET
No flagship in that group. **
RJHokie • 02/15/25 08:43 AM ET
Exactly. One thing that may have helped UVA get a head start is the fact
