See, this is exactly what I'm talking about when posting so much about

plans and facilities. We/Fans would do exactly this if they would just tell us the plans, the needs, the wants, what are the important projects or programs or technologies they want to get not only for softball, but for any of the programs. Personally, I would either move some of my HSF donation around OR I would find a way to increase towards a specific Need. I just don't get it.

Liberty also has track & field facilities that are better than VT's
UpperQuad • 11/22/22 04:03 PM ET
And basketball and baseball is at least as good, debatably better

91HokieBob • 11/23/22 08:41 AM ET
The standard reply is that there is not enough money. **
william floyd • 11/23/22 08:37 PM ET
Yes, absolutely, it is a concern. **
william floyd • 11/22/22 05:23 PM ET
That's what you get when you have a massive amount of online students...
EDGEMAN • 11/22/22 01:32 PM ET
Liberty has a nice place. At #10, maybe it should be higher on the list.**
william floyd • 11/22/22 10:17 AM ET
Looked to me to be one of the better ones on that list.**

Add up all the $$$ you say softball needs. Let us know a path to fund it.

91HokieBob • 11/21/22 12:11 PM ET
In some ways I agree with you, BUT there's another side of the equation
VTChip • 11/20/22 09:26 AM ET
^^^THIS^^^ NO IT"S NOT CRAZY! It's an expectation we deserve as a P5 major
91HokieBob • 11/21/22 12:32 PM ET

Football funds all athletic programs so AD will take $$ from football.
carhokies • 11/19/22 07:45 PM ET
That still doesn't explain why Whit doesn't charge for admission ...
Atlee Hokie • 11/20/22 09:46 AM ET
As I have heard the costs come out close to $3-$4 per game so does not
Nelsonia Hokie • 11/22/22 04:32 PM ET
Charge $8, still 50% profit instead of 0. @VTChip probably has a list or
