Totally agree RJ!

Funny, I was trying to see today how much money had been donated to softball via "Giving Day" and as far as I could tell, one cannot see a specific sport breakdown. All I could see was what the total to "athletics" is. I am pretty sure in years past, one could look at sport specific donors/tallies. It is utterly ridiculous how this university still struggles with all issues related to donating money ie ease of doing it, transparency, etc.

4 of the top 5 are all women's programs with the Spirit Squad mostly women.**

Imo that shows the VT fanbase’s desire for a national title
hokiepro • 02/20/25 10:01 AM ET
Also the Women sports still have a college vibe that is appealing **

This right up there ^^^^^^^^^^**
laphroaig • 02/20/25 03:22 PM ET

King of Hokies • 02/20/25 06:48 AM ET
That’s about how many go to games**

It makes it difficult to plead poverty and beg for money if you let
saret • 02/19/25 08:24 PM ET
Yeah, it’s quite stupid.
RJHokie • 02/19/25 07:48 PM ET
Reminds me of what I said to my mother-in-law once. . . .
laphroaig • 02/20/25 03:27 PM ET
Advancement is very secretive with data
UpperQuad • 02/19/25 11:30 PM ET
Which kind of begs the one word question,...WHY?**
saret • 02/20/25 09:32 AM ET
The answer is

The day when Sands retires & Babcock & JB are retired or fired ....
Atlee Hokie • 02/19/25 08:21 PM ET
Sands is a BIG supporter of Softball, just saying.........**
Techdady • 02/20/25 10:08 AM ET
Understand. Didn't ask for his removal. Thought his retirement date ...
Atlee Hokie • 02/20/25 11:01 AM ET
Because some donation #'s aren't published?**
TheFacts • 02/19/25 08:48 PM ET
You think it's good overall practice to be secretive with giving numbers?**
Atlee Hokie • 02/20/25 08:25 AM ET
Of course not. That's ludicrous. It's just another ...
Atlee Hokie • 02/19/25 09:50 PM ET
OK. Then my question is, why not?**
saret • 02/19/25 09:25 PM ET
The info I posted about has been available on prior Giving Day Events,
RJHokie • 02/19/25 08:52 PM ET
It's on there now.
TheFacts • 02/20/25 10:36 AM ET
FYI, the total for the individual sports do not equal the total contributed
RJHokie • 02/20/25 10:55 AM ET
Excellent info, RJ
VTChip • 02/20/25 10:58 AM ET
We gave a softball mom on the case
VTChip • 02/20/25 08:19 AM ET
Which means "shut up and go away!"**
NokieHokie • 02/20/25 09:38 AM ET
Actually, she persisted and got the numbers - see above**
VTChip • 02/20/25 09:41 AM ET
Be sure to thank her Chip!**
saret • 02/20/25 09:56 AM ET
Well, here are my numbers, 87 donors for $12,970
VTChip • 02/19/25 09:58 PM ET
