Yes, the Student Life Village was canceled. There is a ton of drama and legitimate concern over whether that was valid or appropriate. I won't get into that here; it gets a bit political. There is also legitimate eye-rolling over the argument that "$20M is too much to spend so we need to be fiscally prudent and not spend so much" to cancel the SLV, but then all that money went over to athletics a few months later...

In the wake of that decision, there was a bit of a backpedal that said "oops, we actually do need on-campus housing after all." Hence some of the approvals that have come through - Campbell renovation, additional 1200 beds, and discussions of other renovations in Slusher, Pritchard, and Hoge down the road.

It is so refreshing to look at that coaching carousel chart and see we are the first team with a name already in place. The rest of the hiring/recruiting process is fun while everybody else is fighting over whoever they can get

How does this play into the full cancellation of the massive project over by the drone park? Wasn't that going to be several dorm buildings and learning spaces now fully cancelled?

Getting closer to Thanksgiving basketball FAM!

When you have he script Hokies jersey why would you wear anything else?

Yeah, this season they were fourth in overall football budget in the Big 10 and sixth or seventh in NIL, yet their fan base clearly assumes they were the best at funding a championship program and only a few admit that it is true Franklin was underfunded and a couple seem to be proud they underfunded him because it clearly was all the coaches fault he couldn't afford to pay players the most, have the budget flexibility to advance the program. Most seem caught up in what they paid the coordinators this year as the single point of proof they should expect a National Championship every year.
