Andy Bitter wrote a great article yesterday comparing Virginia Tech's financial situation to that of Clemson. Will Stewart followed that up with his own piece showing how the Hokies lag behind Clemson and Alabama in terms of football support staff. So, if it's a simple matter of spending the money to hire more support staff, why don't the Hokies go ahead and pull the trigger? This article tries to explain why by examining an aspect of athletics that you perhaps never thought about before.
