After vt NCAA wrangles in the mid eighties; it appeared at one point vt was gettting close to accept a lower level of athletics . With Braine, torguson and hiring of Beamer ( by an ad that left later over disagreements with burruss hall) - we got out of the fog.

In today's sports business it's tough to follow compliance but I believe vt has a very high level of internal controls within and external to the athletics department to monitor compliance .

Also in the big picture campaign for 25 is so important . Donor contributors from friends and alumni is the best way to minimize impact of enhanced endorsements by athletic sport companies .
