at the Daily Press/Virginian Pilot. Good article! JMU AD Matt Roane (former VT player), Jim Pyne (former VT all american center- presently successful business man) and others mentioned.

the contract? :-) After you sign the contract, then what is the first thing you plan to do as the new AD at VT?

You Do Know...NOTHING... Carry On.. PS... New Cowboy in Town has been here on Ranch before he rode the trails .... IMHO. But .... lets see if he needs a haircut..Again ** Edited by JRHokie at 5/1/2026, 6:58:50 AM

was a serious post, then you couldn't do a worse job than some of the ADs out there.

the BOV been working on this, and its parallel hiring. Also I do think the athletic dept reorg plan is already drafted. also they know how to restaff Hokie club and fund raising and are working it as well. Expect a very interesting JUNE BOV. One thing; some TSL or locals, are getting unofficial comments from some of the internal long term worker bees in jamison, and dont like the changes and/or new expectations for performance and dropping rumors to 'friends'... Im sure many of these folks wont have a future. Last, the new BOV members are all Hokies and know the unversity well and know what to do. 2 have been on the board before and advocates for athletics. The architect, she been active in athletics and have designed many of the university new buildings, and Mr. Ramos, graduated and worked at VT, admissions, student rep to previsious board. Im not woried about continuity.
