the Virginia Tech Athletic Fund aka Hokie Club outlived its usefulness or primary mission in this new basically pay for play era? The HC hasn't evolved since the 80s in my opinion. We are basically paying to choose seats in the best locations we can under the guise of supporting scholarships. We really get nothing out of it - some useless point priorities, maybe better seats and parking choices during reseating, a form letter recognition and part of Ut Prosim Society if we donate consecutive years, maybe a magnet or garden flag, or key chain for donating....... WHY have a Hokie Club now? Just charge the seat premium (HC donation) with the football tix based on location. THIS is the kind of radical changes or solutions or ideas I want to see from the VT AD/Ath Dept. I've donated and bought season tix since 1995. I did not renew football season tix by the deadline for this fall. I've read posts where posters pay the minimum to HC and purchase tix on the secondary market and other ways. I just reduced my giving from Silver back down to IIRC Orange and Maroon. BUT, I recently purchased 2 football season tickets because yes I'm a VT glutton for punishment and will make some treks down for games. I ended up purchasing 2 tix in the same section 131 on the 50 and only 3, THREE rows up from where my old season tix I didn't renew were located! So, is the Hokie Club in its old and current form still relevant in 2025 and beyond? ** Edited by 91HokieBob at 7/31/2025, 1:57:21 PM
