I pretty much agree, Sands and the BOV set the priority

and that priority clearly has not been to go all in on providing athletics with the funding required to at least be competitive with the P2. Again JMHO but I think Sands and the BOV are calling the shots that many blame on the AD.

I love VT! • 04/17/25 02:47 PM ET
Technically, Whit isn't giving any program any NIL money.
saret • 04/17/25 11:58 AM ET
Well............ ask Mike Young... carry on..
JRHokie • 04/17/25 03:29 PM ET
I think @Chris Coleman has written about MBB's situation.
saret • 04/17/25 03:34 PM ET
You know the News Doesn't just come from TSL .......

JRHokie • 04/17/25 04:41 PM ET

saret • 04/17/25 04:54 PM ET
Love It.. yep... Go Hokies**
JRHokie • 04/18/25 06:34 AM ET
Coach Duffy is not going to be here long or any other coach worth the money
Hokster • 04/17/25 08:34 AM ET
So the answer is no, you don't know how much NIL is available to WBB.**
I love VT! • 04/17/25 11:36 AM ET
No one knows how much NIL money is available to any team at any school.**
saret • 04/17/25 11:59 AM ET
You painting a big brush with that statement .. LOL..
JRHokie • 04/17/25 03:41 PM ET
Okay, Am I wrong?**
saret • 04/17/25 03:58 PM ET
...which obviously doesn't stop anyone from assuming the worst.**
I love VT! • 04/17/25 03:05 PM ET
Couldn't agree more. It's utter chaos. But in the end, who's paying for
saret • 04/17/25 03:06 PM ET
Look No farther than the AD & Sands !!
JRHokie • 04/17/25 11:23 AM ET
I pretty much agree, Sands and the BOV set the priority ◄
VTCALS72 • 04/17/25 12:46 PM ET
I'm confident you are wrong about that. Sands believes

Thanks fo a real good question
VTCALS72 • 04/18/25 09:06 AM ET
Whoever or Whatever.. WE SEE IT..
JRHokie • 04/17/25 12:50 PM ET
Only disagreement with this post is the division of 5P schools
VTCALS72 • 04/17/25 01:17 PM ET
Still P5.. Division 1 , if that helps..
JRHokie • 04/17/25 01:42 PM ET
I doubt that but
MrFantastic! • 04/17/25 11:28 AM ET
While hand dealt.....
2hhoop3 • 04/17/25 11:38 AM ET
Burrus hall is a HUGE reason**
MrFantastic! • 04/17/25 11:59 AM ET
The admin plays a part......
2hhoop3 • 04/17/25 04:32 PM ET
Duffy isn't a strong portal person. (See last year). So I wouldn't get

Unfortunately, this year she doesn’t have much choice. 5 gone from a 11
Stork • 04/17/25 10:06 AM ET
It is just frustrating seeing so many other teams get multiple commitments.**
Hokster • 04/17/25 10:10 AM ET
We are returning a lot of talent. The way i see it.
thunar • 04/17/25 12:40 PM ET
Patience grasshopper **
Stork • 04/17/25 10:56 AM ET
until Nil money is capped , the money teams will get the best players**
mrknowitall • 04/17/25 10:24 AM ET
Being nitpicky here, but how do you cap something when you
saret • 04/17/25 12:10 PM ET
The conferences are already looking at Congress to regulate it.
thunar • 04/17/25 12:31 PM ET
I think that would be difficult for Congress to do that, especially in
saret • 04/17/25 12:40 PM ET
They have done it before. All the charges that people would get back in
thunar • 04/17/25 12:46 PM ET
Again, I'm not arguing. I'm just not optimistic at all that
saret • 04/17/25 12:58 PM ET
Oh i am just pointing it out. And yeah congress hasnt exactly jumped at it.**
thunar • 04/18/25 12:06 PM ET
congress and solution is rarely used in the same sentence**
mrknowitall • 04/17/25 08:08 PM ET
I think she likes VT more than Brooks **
MrFantastic! • 04/17/25 09:10 AM ET
Right now.**
saret • 04/17/25 03:07 PM ET
True but
MrFantastic! • 04/17/25 03:21 PM ET
I agree. This job was a step up from Marquette. She's still
saret • 04/17/25 03:28 PM ET
There would likely be no impetus to move on barring a series of successful
VAHokie89 • 04/18/25 01:32 PM ET
Agreed. That's why I said her leaving would be a good thing.
saret • 04/18/25 02:13 PM ET
Hoping no need to "move up" cause we will be "up"! That is what CMD is
j9hokie • 04/17/25 05:01 PM ET
I concur. I'm really pleased with her.
saret • 04/17/25 05:09 PM ET
I don’t fret about it in the least.
Stork • 04/17/25 07:58 AM ET
Maybe WHY we haven't got Portals. Shame if true!**
George Baylor • 04/17/25 07:31 AM ET
Hey George, Matilda, Rose, Lani, Olivia, D’asia, Taylor, Ashley, and Kayana
Stork • 04/17/25 08:18 AM ET
What do they know?**
WestEndHokie39 • 04/19/25 03:52 PM ET
Have to admit it’s concerning to me too,
1977hokie • 04/17/25 07:23 AM ET
I would be all in on a fund raiser for WBB NIL. Wish we would have one.**
j9hokie • 04/17/25 10:15 AM ET
Or, we need to find a @VTChip for WBB.**
saret • 04/17/25 03:30 PM ET
Damn right.. only $$$ I would give..**
JRHokie • 04/17/25 11:20 AM ET
