weakness in fundraising. It really isn't clear how to support WBB's NIL needs. CMD made it crystal clear at the BOV meeting that she needs NIL funds. We can only hope with the new fund-raising leadership this type of question will be answered. CMD made the need clear,it's up to Athletic Department leadership to respond. If CMD is ignored....we will be at risk. I don't think a campaign specific to WBB will detract from our football financial goals, as I believe they are two different donor bases.

would thank the fans....

Who, if anyone, is soliciting NIL funds. What are the mechanisms via which donations are made? Only The Hokie Way is registered as a charitable organization. How are donated funds distributed? Who decides who gets how much? What/who is the interface between the athlete and the NIL (Triumph or THW)? How does the NIL interface with the AthDept? What are officers/staff of the NIL paid? How much of the actual money donated winds up in the hands of the athlete? The questions are almost endless. Unfortunately, with getting old, comes the calls from overseas scammers for medicare, auto care, final expense insurance, duct cleaning and home improvements. I am starting to liken NILs to the scam callers, except the scammers call me ~40-50 times a day. The only person I know who says they have ever been approached re: NIL is @BackInTheBurg , and that was over a year ago. CMD spoke of NIL needs, yet we know little if anything re: NIL solicitations and distributions. Yet, many on here urge us to donate to these NILs. Yet, we have no info re: how our (or other) NILs operate. We don't even have an NIL equivalent such as Charity Navigator to find out the legitimacy of how NILs operate. If @Kid Rock wants to donate to an NIL, gold bless him. Ironically, he's having to search to find out how. That is beyond ironic, it's paradoxical.

in the BB program you gave it. Works for me every time.

I believe Invest to Win is unrestricted funds only. You could donate specifically to Women’s Basketball though. And also to the Hokie Way designated for Women’s Basketball.

yes, you can make sport-specific donations, but I thought that only supports day-to-day operations and not NIL. That would help with coaches salaries, travel, etc. but not helping pay for player talent and building a better roster.
