What's this?

Lack of corporate engagement by Technology industry that VT partners

I think its really bad, that while VT as an university is all in with the Boeings, Amazon, etc. for major corporate gifts, you do not see ANY tangible contributions, property endorsements etc from these types of companies. We get the local (who frankly not generating the money that an Amazon would offer)

Anything is offered for a signing endorsement.....but it has to be REAL tangible amount. (if VT skills n corporate endorsements is the present NIKE contract, there is really no business acumen in the VT athletic department.
