I'm weird, but I'm loving that the AD was not afraid to call out the fans
He's not wrong that many people feel entitled and super reactionary to the recent football downturn. Especially when they don't provide anything to the department
But its a big gamble to state it. Gonna be interesting to see what the difference in donations will be in the next few years. Depending if people misconstrue his quote or listened to the whole thing and still feel jaded.
Go Hokies
EDIT Here is the quote in full:
If you can be involved, please do. It hurts us when you pull your support. You are really hurting all 22 sports, scholarships, all of that. If you are able to participate, we now need you more than ever. We have 20,000 donors strong and working our way up. Those that threaten publicly usually don't give that much, but we do know some of you feel that you can't invest in us. It is a gift, we will receive it when you are ready to give it.
