I'm very familiar with Oregon u all have no idea
First Phil knight and Nike resources are two distinct areas we are talking corporate resources -
Not many have those tapped - Oregon has a special liaison on support to Nike and phill such that every university dept don't bother them and conflicting university needs--
vt development works it in conjunction with the athletic dept on corporate and large unique gifts and again the work it to balance all university needs- and va tech hired one of the nation's best from Cornell - who raised billions for Cornell
The bottom line is big time college athletes require big time budgets - avg athletic budgets will be over 100 million for a typical p5 school and with a 80 million dollar budget we are behind the fsu Clemson unc and Virginia much less many in the sec and big ten -and even west va-
And this is not the conference responsibilities it's the school- vt is exploring all revenue streams that have not been maximiZed
