THe foundation under Whit not the best

He was a clhristiansburg native who work his way into leadership at clemson, but trained in the old ways, when the new AD at clemson got in (while the guy was nice, when VT came calling, there was no sorrow, and they got a top notch CFO for clemson from either SEC or NFL. see the difference not a portfolio for a 150-200 millilion dollar business in big industry college sports My take for GA Tech, (he's heard VT is high for candidate for Big 10 (with VA) and they may be left out, so their target (as well as NC State) is beat VT in the game... We are sleepy hollow in the bubble of blacksburg. (I dont know if that perspective in both athletics of Burress Hall (BOV/President) We will see I also hear that its shaky to change during these turbulent times. We are seeing changes at GT
