A reason VT may "benefit" from those losses in the beginning


is they could serve as a better "measuring stick" on VT's place in the "college football world" for VT's administration, coaches, players, and fans. Yes, we hear from various sources about how VT "needs more money" if it wants to compete with its peers. Even if people believe it is true, the message may not really sink in because the level of football in the ACC is no where close to being on par with the SEC. If VT wants to achieve its financial goals, then it may need to do a better job of pointing at real life examples in its sales pitch. For example, "If VT had X% more dollars, then it could build Z project which would allow VT a better chance of being selected as one of the host sites for an early round of a NCAA tournament (pick your sport)."

Another potential reason is VT could see an increase in interest among the potential "regular students" for undergrad or graduate school. If VT sees enough of an increase in applications, then it may make the decision easier to increase enrollment. If a school increases its enrollment, then it may also increase its fan base too.
