How important is our performance (1) on the field & (2) w/ NIL in next ..

Several years in terms of making us attractive in the event of the ACC dissolving? If we can get back to becoming competitive for the ACC of the next 3 to 4 years, and somehow, although I doubt it, find a way to become a player with NIL, How much does that improve our chances of ending up in a super conference.? My pet peeve is that I just can’t see Virginia Tech ever having the money to pay players the way Texas schools, SEC schools, Miami or other schools are willing to pay. I believe I saw somewhere that Alabama paid their players $3 million last year and Texas Tech is guaranteeing each of their hundred players 25,000 each? Miami is apparently getting ready to line their recruits pockets as well. Do we stand a chance with our alumni base? What’s the best we could ever hope for at Virginia Tech? Paying players $1000 a year? Four star recruits more than that? I have no clue at all. It is really disillusioning. But I’m not sure how many ACC schools I can see doing that either.

Getting good in the next 5 years wouldn't hurt. But it can't be just one

I don’t think our performance matters much

NIL$ Come from sponsors, not universities.

IMO, the party is over

I think that's correct. I think we are fine either way...

There will be four levels, VT in L2, more like 1993-98

Sad, how in roughly 10 years VT went from being a regular in the top 10

Sometimes it is harder to stay at the top than to reach the top...

I am getting fine with being in the middle tier
Happy Dog 07/23/22 12:39 PM ET
I'm getting to this point myself

The ROI is just not there in football anymore

Regarding our recruiting, I wouldn't say it's mediocre, but it is a tier
