I hear you, and I can't comment on the early 1990's. That was over

30 years ago. I was just helping to point out that sport specific giving is definitely operational enhancement. That will include NIL moving forward (and you should see that in writing here soon). Wrestling will confirm that their budget increases with these gifts. They get a Foundation account report that tells them when additional monies arrive. They just happen to be the most unique sport on campus because they have a legal/compliant method of raising significant money outside of the official university fundraising arm. SERTC, as you know well, has been very good to Tony. And does have a little more flexibility. Hope that helps somewhat.

I wouldn't tho.
La Gargola • 11/20/24 08:57 PM ET
Correct. Coach Robie has stated SERTC benefits our wrestling
ChEHokie78 • 11/21/24 02:50 PM ET
This certainly implies that the funds go to the wrestling team.
Hokiemacho • 11/21/24 10:28 AM ET
Any donations made through the Athletic Department for wrestling goes to
HokieToph • 11/21/24 11:34 AM ET
I seriously doubt this is how it works.
Hokiemacho • 11/21/24 02:04 PM ET
You are correct. That is not how that works at all. It is not a zero sum
VTScoop • 11/21/24 02:56 PM ET
Dave Braine did it so I wouldn't ever rule it out. There were indeed

VTScoop • 11/21/24 04:17 PM ET
fair enough. I think we all can agree that SERTC is likely the better way
HokieToph • 11/21/24 04:54 PM ET
PSA: and SERTC is a 501(c)3 **
BackInTheBurg • 11/21/24 03:09 PM ET
Good accurate description, but the perception still exists
saret • 11/21/24 03:08 PM ET
I understand...and know that they have moved the HC gift processing across
VTScoop • 11/21/24 04:10 PM ET
I've never had the pleasure of meeting Bill. My loss. I think I
saret • 11/21/24 05:45 PM ET
I bet that is indeed how it works. The more money that gets earmarked
goodbadugly • 11/21/24 02:34 PM ET
The Hokie Club website says that is incorrect.
Hokiemacho • 11/21/24 02:55 PM ET
But, the perception still exists. I agree with your post, but that's for

They'll cover travel and all that regardless as long as we are good
donjfs3 • 11/21/24 11:25 AM ET
This is not totally true.
Hokiemacho • 11/21/24 01:52 PM ET
Some flights were paid for by generous donor. SERTC is preferred **
Vidi Vici Veni • 11/22/24 09:40 PM ET
