Frankly the vt base has not raised its game to contribute In comparison to our peer schools - - that's why the campaign to get to 25000 hokie club members is so important - for the folks who have thanks but we need so many more- also buying tickets is not a prime way to contribute - vt needs money for scholarships -

Funny thing so many folks felt vt was doing ok- that was a tribute to weaver and whit - to squeeze out every resource stream possible -sometimes though it's just pound the flesh and push the alumni base AND friends to give-

Some folks will whine and simply it's a money game and vt commjittv has a choice be like a school like the east Carolinas odu program or be a viable p-5 achhol
