When I go to Blacksburg today, I'm taking another $2,860 to the program

Combined with the $8,036 from last week, that's a total of $10,896 from our Softball Fundraising "Ticket" Drive. Since that money is matched by a very generous donor, that $21,792 for the softball program!!!! You folks are amazing. THANK YOU!!!!! p.s. it's never too late to give. Simply make the check to "Virginia Tech Athletic Fund - Softball" and mail to me at Chip Grubb 8155 Bent Mountain Road Roanoke, VA 24018 Like always, I will gather the checks together and take them to the Softball staff (Coach Pete/Bill Olds) and they will get them to the Hokie Club. You will still get credit for a specific sport donation per the Hokie Club rules. If you would rather do PayPal ([email protected]) or Venmo, you can certainly do that as well, but it's a little more bulky to get the Hokie Club credit since it's flowing through my account (which I'm not crazy about, anyway). If you need to send me an e-mail, it's [email protected]

Pretty sure the Virginia NIL law took effect in July of LAST year.

It is my understanding that the new law has not taken effect yet, but will

Looked it up after the game and the law did take effect July 1, 2024.

How difficult would it be to set up an NIL fund strictly for softball, or
