What's this?

VT should have a sponsored a club do it

Maybe have a "web-design" savvy professor oversee and guide their work?

We are a major university with a "tech" focus, so we should handle all of this in house. The same goes for production of events not covered on the ACCN or ESPN+. If it's not being covered by ESPN, we should be covering it on Hokie Sports. Maybe have two tiers for Hokie sports. Have a free board covering what's currently on the website, and a Hokie Sports Plus that charges a nominal fee (~$5/month) for the additional broadcasts which are handled 100% by our students and staff. That's cheap enough to NOT be a burden on Hokie fans, as well as cheap enough for visiting fans to buy a month at a time to see their team play in Blacksburg. Maybe $5/month is you buy the entire year, and ~$7/month if you buy a month at a time?

Didn't take long for Williamson and Yates to quit bball (at least at VT). -- chagerma 08/02/2021 10:38AM

Yates will make more money with spreadsheets than basketballs -- UpperQuad 08/02/2021 4:05PM

Williamson was hyped quite a bit. Anyone have info on him? ** -- VT One 08/02/2021 11:30AM

A person who posts on this board all the time hyped him. Not 34 either -- 949hokie 08/03/2021 12:22AM

Sounds right. As I recall, he grew 5-6 inches in his last two years of high -- VT One 08/03/2021 08:23AM

Who hyped him? It's rare that a walk-on contributes in basketball. ** -- Chris Coleman

Don’t recall but it was a Richmond area local who spoke of his late growth -- VT One 08/02/2021 4:47PM

Probably the same guys that hyped Ryan Payne the year before that... ** -- VT94 08/02/2021 1:17PM

I didn't interpret your comments as disparaging... -- VT94 08/04/2021 10:05AM

I agree totally. ** -- VT One 08/04/2021 3:37PM

I guess it's part of the VT fanbase culture. -- Chris Coleman

I wouldn't ascribe 1 or 2 posters as "the VT fanbase culture" ** -- Upwind of uva 08/04/2021 08:36AM

Are you going to get a second club for monitoring and securing it? -- VT94 08/02/2021 10:28AM

A club in the Sports Data major could maybe do it -- UpperQuad 08/03/2021 01:21AM

Are any VT club students currently liable for damages in other areas? -- EDGEMAN 08/02/2021 12:47PM
