Correct; what they did not do was give VT a small exception of about 5 min
outside the 45 min window for hotel travel
She said the 3 hotels were 50 min…I have to wonder which ones. If I had to guess it’s the ones around Tanglewood in Roanoke. Hotel Roanoke is 44 min.so that would fit as would the Hampton Inn downtown Roanoke. Otherwise the only other hotels I can think of at 50 min away would be Troutville or potentially Princeton WV & those are likely out due to extra time away from Roa airport
What I believe was a lie was her claiming it had no impact on seeding us 17th. If not, why bring it up and just say we’re 17 & why? No. They ignored DSR? They ignored top 25 win %? No they used the bid denial as an easy “out”
