Nope, VT NEEDS it too. We're $20 million(+) behind Gamecocks and Illinis.

And it takes a whole bunch of donors, like tens of thousands, to make up for the deficit our league has us in when compared to even middle and lower tier athletics programs from the SEC or B1G.

And it's not only the TV and bowl payouts, VT could really use better home football schedules too. That's worth millions per year.

After massive face plant, B1G tells us how rich it is. -- HOO86 01/13/2017 12:12PM

You think it's laughable they are making tens of millions more/school? -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2017 9:42PM

Only the poor ACC schools that need conference money help aren't laughing. -- manassashoo 01/14/2017 09:16AM

Made up numbers. Fake news. ** -- marcbvtgm 01/17/2017 1:57PM

Not fake. Here's the damages. and the gaps are widening. -- chuckd4vt 01/19/2017 2:03PM

2014-15...pre-TV deals for both conferences. -- daveinop 01/19/2017 3:20PM

Factor in subsidies and the likes. 10 million BEFORE the new B1G contract. ** -- chuckd4vt 01/19/2017 6:05PM

Also before the ACC contract -- daveinop 01/20/2017 07:42AM

That thing? Get back to me when/if it gets here. -- chuckd4vt 01/20/2017 10:34AM

Triples the 2006 revenue, not the 2016 revenue. -- daveinop 01/21/2017 10:59AM

When we start losing coaches because of salaries people will realize... ** -- lawhokie 01/17/2017 12:38PM

I don't think that's the Big Ten telling us anything. That's ESPN... -- reestuart 01/13/2017 3:41PM

I only say that because they quote Northwestern and Wisconsin ADs. -- HOO86 01/13/2017 3:44PM

I was too lazy to read the whole thing, so I did miss that. -- reestuart 01/13/2017 4:06PM

I still think Wisc, took a dive so tOSU could get in the Playoffs -- Lead Dog 01/13/2017 3:28PM

I was suspicious at the time, but OSU performance in the CFP was legit. -- HOO86 01/13/2017 3:51PM

I doubt Wiscy took a dive. That basically drove their coach out of town. -- reestuart 01/13/2017 3:37PM

Big 10 had a mediocre year despite those 4 or so teams being ranked highly. -- Old Line Hokie 01/13/2017 1:52PM

ACC fans tend to focus on the SEC but it should be the B1G -- Colonel Jessup 01/13/2017 12:46PM

ACC really needs to pay attention to both. -- HOO86 01/13/2017 1:43PM
