A case could be made that VT's window for aggressive enrollment growth was
between 1995-2005/2006. If VT had started growing back then, then its current enrollment may have been somewhere between 40-50K (undergraduate and graduate). If the ultimate target goal was to grow to 60-70K, which could include the creation of the VT System like what UNC, Penn State, and even UVA currently have, then it would make sense for the the Athletic Department to explore expanding Lane again. Unfortunately, that window has closed and I don't think VT will get another opportunity.

I would rather see the minimum set around 70K, to be required 5 years....

Adding seats is contrary to all the data that day home attendance is waning

My point is that VT missed the window to open the spigot.

And yes I know VT would have to add less than 10K more seats.
