What's this?

Weaver managed it buy tough monitoring expenses

Strongly encouraged recruit in state to minimize cost on scholarships. (reality only a few states can generate those type of national players to be national champions)
minimize coaching salaries, compare jj salary to buzz or number of staff for football versus early football...
we did ok. by being in black, but olympic sports suffered.....

tp be the best u got to hire the best and have revenue streams to sustain it. not just monitor cookies in stadium

VT will be well out of the red next year. -- Will Stewart

Big question is can the $33 mil sustain for more than one year? -- Lakeridgehokie 07/19/2017 9:22PM

Frankly thats the requirement to be financial viable P5 school -- Mercury 07/25/2017 2:30PM

Good point Lakeridge. The $12 million surplus in donations... -- Calamitous 07/20/2017 12:23AM

For a long, long time Clemson has stressed giving. -- Atlee Hokie 07/20/2017 02:59AM

Actually clemson has adjusted -- Mercury 07/20/2017 07:42AM

But still, Clemson has a culture of giving. VT has culture of selling. -- Atlee Hokie 07/21/2017 12:35AM

Just need for all to move forward and past is past -- Mercury 07/21/2017 06:57AM

I agree. Just stating why it's a tougher sell at VT than at Clemson. -- Atlee Hokie 07/21/2017 07:08AM

The $33 million represents a 15 month period that -- RJHokie 07/19/2017 9:36PM

Plus the $4.3 million from the Tennessee game. Also, -- RJHokie 07/19/2017 8:18PM

Yeah, some of the gigantic spikes in revenue are due to building -- reestuart 07/20/2017 4:43PM

Absolutely embarrassing numbers for VT alumni -- lawhokie 07/19/2017 6:02PM

Sorry, but I don't agree that "good fans" is equated to $ donated. -- cincyhokie 07/23/2017 4:11PM

What objective measurement is there for characterizing a fan base? -- lawhokie 07/23/2017 10:20PM

We had a President, an AD and our Head Football coach retiring -- Stech 07/20/2017 7:12PM

Bingo! SEC first and then ACC. From a business stand point, it makes sense -- Stech 07/20/2017 7:06PM

Except from a business standpoint, getting a network in 2019 -- GusDaMan 07/25/2017 11:43AM

I guess we will see, the cord cutters effect will eventually hit SEC & B1G -- Stech 07/25/2017 1:14PM

Agree 100%. Swofford was never gang busters for the network. -- Atlee Hokie 07/19/2017 9:41PM

That, and I wonder if his allegiance to UNC was a distraction... -- Calamitous 07/20/2017 12:39AM

Remember, VT's donation figure for 2017 is $33 million. ** -- Will Stewart

A 74% increase in donations means Drive for 25 has been pretty impressive -- hokiepro 07/19/2017 8:26PM

We'll know a year from now a little more about the Drive for 25 campaign. -- Atlee Hokie 07/19/2017 9:46PM
