like VT, where single million dollar donors for one sport aren't encouraged by the AD, endowments would require a totally new highway project that the "good ole boys" have, and will, always resist. VT needs a new AD, and wholesale termination of the top 1/3 layers of the Hokie Club "fundraising". Need new, young blood with several Asst. ADs dedicated to fundraising. Your suggestion may indeed be the way to go, but will be tough sledding for some P4 athletic departments. ( Maybe down the road UVa football will play the VT away game at: Amazon Stadium" in Blacksburg.
