All that money they put out to get the best players to chase national title -- HokieAvalanche Jun 04, 2026 at 10:18 PM ET

1/3 of that money went to 1 player. Basic premise, Spread it around** -- VAHokie89 Jun 06, 2026 at 12:27 PM ET

I guess money doesn't guarantee performance** -- VTChip Jun 04, 2026 at 10:28 PM ET

Yeah, you got that right, if George Steinbrenner was still alive… -- PokieHokie Jun 05, 2026 at 04:53 PM ET

I'm guessing Texas gives their fair share of money as well -- VT_AD Jun 05, 2026 at 10:15 AM ET

Wasn't my point. Started to add, just like football. ** -- TomTurkey Jun 05, 2026 at 08:33 AM ET

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with what you wrote.** -- dallasvt Jun 05, 2026 at 02:46 PM ET

I understand the implied inequity. No harm, no foul. ** -- TomTurkey Jun 05, 2026 at 02:48 PM ET
