So here's the Short Time I just did with Dresser. Didn't go much in terms of building ISU personnel wise, but a lot of comparison stuff.

I also realized after I posted the show that money didn't come up once. That wasn't intentional, but it probably should have come up. Although it's been addressed in other outlets, so it's not like I believe people listening to this show have any blinders on as to this is how they get their news.

The Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling show is year-to-year, so this current contract (in its third year) expires after NINE more shows. That's typically balanced as two a month during the season, then one a month in the offseason. At that pace, we're looking 2/3 in March (based on performance), then finishing up in August/September.

I do plan on keeping the show, but I'll have to wait to see who the new hire is before I approach them with a renewal option. Obviously with Coach Robie, he knows the deal since he's been there the whole time. I also need to have a discussion with whoever the coach is (if it's not Robie) about continuing the show after the hire. That could potentially shoot down the rest of this contract.

If things end up to where the new coach doesn't want to continue, this could be done independent of the school, but that would start to limit my access and put the show back into a situation where we don't have the advantage of being paid for by the school, that could lead to crowdfunding options to keep the show alive.

As of now, my plan is to continue IVTW on its current course until this contract runs out. I'll obviously have a better grasp on the show's standing when the new hire is made.
