Question for you

If you're on the team, you're getting all the gear. Not everyone travels.**

Title 9 would direct an equal number in the women's sports. You may be a
UTPr0sim • 12/07/24 07:47 PM ET
VT is about 55% male, so men's sports can get slightly more scholarships

Techdady • 12/08/24 01:37 PM ET
Softball would probably be 1st in line for scholarships for women's sports
UpperQuad • 12/07/24 01:29 PM ET
Line?
Techdady • 12/07/24 02:00 PM ET
Equally distributing them would be negligent
UpperQuad • 12/07/24 04:07 PM ET
Agree 100%, but doubt swimming team dad or women's soccer dad would agree. **
Techdady • 12/07/24 05:53 PM ET
They are also good teams that merit extra scholarships**
UpperQuad • 12/07/24 10:57 PM ET
Based on those numbers

Hokie Softball will continue to do more with less, nothing new there. **

If football went from 85 to 105, that would leave 25 to spread around to
BackInTheBurg • 12/06/24 11:32 PM ET
105 football scholarships would be a waste of money
UpperQuad • 12/07/24 12:37 AM ET
Most sports saw increases in scholarships…
VTChip • 12/07/24 12:35 AM ET
Increasing softball, WT&F, and Swimming would be the best use of any extra
UpperQuad • 12/07/24 10:13 AM ET
I'm guessing 2-4 new scholarships for Softball 'bluebloods' prob get 10-12.**

I share your concern

Hokie Club raised $38 million during the past fiscal year.
RJHokie • 12/06/24 08:48 PM ET
Sorry, should say $40M more than VT.**
TheFacts • 12/06/24 09:25 PM ET
Maybe whit should figure out how they do that. **

Don’t hold your breath on that one.
