Agree

I believe we have alumni out there that would fund the entire NIL for the women's team per year as appropriate if given that opportunity. Right now it is the most "likable" program. That we apparently blew so much on a certain football player that spent most of the season watching others play his position makes me not want to give another penny over there. Right now I trust 2 people "within": Coach Young and Coach Duffy. I want them to have the tools necessary for success. But, I need to see that my money is going through the coaches to the players. Our ADpt needs to come out of hiding and embrace the new normal or we are going to get even more left behind. We can do this.....

Kate sears said VT felt right.would worry about nil later**
mrknowitall • 02/01/25 03:17 PM ET
I don't think we have NIL to retain anyone who stars on this team. It will
UTPr0sim • 02/01/25 12:56 PM ET
What makes you say this? What actual facts do you have to back it up?**
King of Hokies • 02/01/25 03:41 PM ET
Fair enough, but how many WBB players will fetch 6 figures?**
ONELLY • 02/01/25 01:40 PM ET
You underestimate our capacity for WBB NIL.**

Not very many people would take a new job at 40% less $, they

We kept Georgia and Liz with NIL. See no reason why we couldn’t keep Baker.**
Stork • 02/01/25 12:40 PM ET
Much lower AVG NIL that year. Its out of control the past 2 years....**
UTPr0sim • 02/01/25 12:57 PM ET
How exactly do we know that. Since it’s all kept secret. And
Stork • 02/01/25 01:02 PM ET
We don't know that. It's just a bunch of Hokies hand-wringing as usual. **
King of Hokies • 02/01/25 03:41 PM ET
coach Duffy said the nil at VT was sufficient,that.s good enough for me**
mrknowitall • 02/01/25 04:08 PM ET
Freedom of Information act now that they are "PAID" VT employees?**
UTPr0sim • 02/01/25 02:38 PM ET
VT is not paying them.**
NokieHokie • 02/01/25 05:17 PM ET
They get paid out of the AD budget soon, unless the House settlement goes
tallahasseehokie • 02/01/25 07:53 PM ET
Right. "Soon" means they don't get paid now. There is nothing to FOIA.**
NokieHokie • 02/02/25 01:40 AM ET
Won’t be a W2.
RJHokie • 02/01/25 09:03 PM ET
Not much of a secret:
UTPr0sim • 02/01/25 01:48 PM ET
So exactly how much is Baker making this year?**
Stork • 02/01/25 02:42 PM ET
You can ask her mom or file a FOIA request from VT.**
UTPr0sim • 02/01/25 02:55 PM ET
FOIA won’t help you… you file it and find out**
Brewing_Hokie • 02/01/25 05:43 PM ET
I already did. They refused to disclose. I've filed an appeal.**
saret • 02/01/25 05:43 PM ET
if we were Nil poor I don 't think coach Duffy would have taken the job

dubnic2roxy1 • 02/01/25 05:02 PM ET
Fine message, but that's not really NIL then which I think is the question.

Yeah, thats true, it just goes to the team.**
