Stech

in particular are gold mines for funding. Many Universities wish they had our Alumni and supporters from those areas. However, we are terrible at doing things to include them. Every year they should have a football/fundraiser game in the DMV, every year they should have a basketball/fundraiser game there too. Why not play some baseball and softball games in Richmond and Hampton Roads, every year!?!? Please don’t get me started that they aren’t fighting on an East West highway from Southwest Virginia to Richmond, Virginia Tech should be leading the charge on that. However, when it comes to Athletics, Virginia Tech and the ACC just want to live 20 years ago. It’s so frustrating!!!
