First season goes 3-9 (0-8 in conference play). First season is a mulligan after getting into the big leagues. 2nd season is 4-8. "Got to step up fundraising" is the call. Donors do what they can. 3rd season 3-9. After 3rd season, VT takes stock of what is going around. Mid-tier SEC teams are having constant fundraisers for coaches salaries, facilities, and NIL. Mississippi dedicates April 30th as "Ole Miss Hotty Toddy Day" where the top donators ride in floats and the parade entrance fee is $100, all going to NIL. Ole Miss athletes are in the crowd grinning with thumbs up as the floats pass by. Who wants to live in the above scenario? Granted, it is fiction and the team may be kicking ass. But even with the added tv and CFP boost, it is going to be a constant struggle to keep up with other P2 schools. ** Edited by HouClone at 6/23/2024, 6:07:54 PM ** Edited by HouClone at 6/23/2024, 6:08:55 PM
