That's what, 1-2 games worse than now?**
WestyHokie • 11/05/24 02:07 PM ET
We would probably hire better coaches with that additional money.**

Femoyer Hokie • 11/02/24 07:29 AM ET
I don’t think that’s a big deal at all
I85Hokie • 11/01/24 10:26 AM ET
You can't just compare us to schools that are massively bigger enrollments
HokieAl • 11/01/24 09:13 AM ET
GT has 48K students? Really?
EDGEMAN • 11/01/24 04:52 PM ET
They have a massive grad student population **

Are we considering Liberty an institution of higher learning at all?**
RVAHokie05 • 11/01/24 09:37 AM ET
Pretty sure no one considers them that. Receipt inside...

I think you have things reversed.

Would that add another 8K seats over what's there now?

Not a fantasy, but not guaranteed either, my bet is So end zone like No end
