Why not really be fair
VTCALS72 • 01/07/23 04:54 PM ET
Good question.. they certainly develop some TOUGH football players.

All about player development for the most part

I'd feel better about competing nationally if we could fix our offense

Very close financially. TCU $41M and VT $35M**

Upside contributions TCU>>>>>VT … most likely a couple 100..

How many non blue bloods have competed in the last 25 years?
hokiedad25 • 01/05/23 07:04 PM ET
These are the teams that have played for a championship

Expanded playoff changes EVERYTHING...
Techsupport • 01/05/23 06:39 PM ET
For VT, higher chance to make playoffs, lower chance to win the title
Synaesthesia • 01/06/23 11:08 AM ET
Oh, no doubt about that, but being IN the playoffs makes you relevant...

You better hope we eventually land in a decent conference before
949hokie • 01/05/23 06:37 PM ET
No. VA is not TX. Our ability to recruit star players is vastly
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/05/23 06:12 PM ET
The short answer is TCU is most likely an outlier. They've had a great
AbsolutVT03 • 01/05/23 05:48 PM ET
The expanded playoff will open the door for TCU caliber teams

FSU winners of 3 National Championships, the last 9 years ago will be back

Tally Hokie is now a Nole fan. Like everyone else in that town. **

hokierevisionist • 01/05/23 06:36 PM ET
You don't mention $$. Also TCU is in a recruit hotbed AND an urban area.**
marcbvtgm • 01/05/23 04:38 PM ET
Many Alumni from TCU have money coming out of their pores ..

They are located in DFW.
solareye • 01/05/23 03:30 PM ET
Actually Fort Worth, for those of you outside texas, it's a small city.
jonnyhawk • 01/05/23 03:45 PM ET
That is not the Richmond MSA population... **

Blacksburg is 20 min from radford. FW is 30 min from Metro Dallas.

OH yes, my mistake, it's their loc. That's why their last class ranked 45th
jonnyhawk • 01/05/23 04:23 PM ET
Their 2023 class is ranked 19 by 247 (it was 28 in 2022).

Fort Worth is part of the Dallas metroplex.. the fourth largest in the US**
mvick • 01/05/23 03:53 PM ET
Trust me, NO ONE seeks out TCU because it's near DFW.

And now I finally understand why you're not VT's recruiting coordinator TIC**
