likely finish in the Top 30 of the Director's Cup again this year, with probably what is the smallest athletic budget of any comparable school. Aside from luck or catching the once in a generation athlete (Mike Vick or Angela Tincher come to mind), what it is going to take to move up to the next level and compete for national championships is funding. With the Hokie Club being the primary funding vehicle for VT athletics, is anyone else surprised on how small the membership is of the Hokie Club. By comparison, Clemson's IPTAY membership is 50% larger.
