I think Brian will make a real commitment to softball

I am sure you and others have conveyed enhancements to TSP. I’m really convinced that White will endorse an enhancement strategy quickly. I assume $10-20M in stadium upgrade could be achievable. What has been discussed in the VT softball community about potential costs? Really liked the tiered giving offerings that FIU softball developed under White. That would resonate well with our fanbase.

The "magic" could very well be that BW and Chip are tackling different

TomTurkey • 07/29/26 01:07 PM ET
Exactly. I just picked equipment because it was the first "small project"

I believe Chip and lap work together separately very well**
TomTurkey • 07/29/26 02:13 PM ET
True and that arrangement could still continue. From a tracking standpoint

Bureaucracy *shudder*
TomTurkey • 07/29/26 04:24 PM ET
I get your reservations about oversight especially since the VTAD/VTAF

So he didn't use a [$100K] fence as an excuse 🙄**

Who needs a fence when a dome is a possibility! :-)**
