What's this?

So say we DO raise $10 million, to get us even w/ WVU, we're still behind.


I'm not suggesting the Big12's the greatest, or even that WVU is. But there is ZERO reason VT should be behind them. It's phenomenal with all their obvious disadvantages that whey are out earning us. It's actually amazing that the Big12 and WVU are hanging on as good as they are, even exceeding the ACC and VT. capiche?


But, even if we raise $10 million to get to even, we're still $20 million behind similar caliber programs from the B1G and SEC. THAT's our competition.
Competing with the Big12 and West Virginia should not be the ACC or Virginia Tech's goals. Do you agree? Yes, we got work to do in order to get there first, which suggests a ton about BOTH ACC and VT leadership. However, we must now compete with at least Iowa and Arkansas from the B1G and SEC respectively.
