I'd say 'drinks drink the same' but we all know THAT ain't true! (at least by taste)

Reinvest something in athletics and give something back to the student experience for once.
Shout out for calling athletics part of the student experience. That's exactly what it is.

I have many interesting stories I can tell over a beer in anonymized form. There is never a dull moment when you're in the position I am.

Yes! Stop that!
May just be allocation of resources and priorities from the General Assembly. UVA for instance has I believe the best faculty pay in VA, but they also have a $15 billion endowment which I'm sure produces significant investment income, some of which likely is utilized to support academic operations. I doubt the state wants to pony up more in the budget for faculty salary support. And as mentioned above, VT has been dumping enormous resources into capital projects (like shiny new buildings) for a long time now. I know some comes directly from donor support but there's probably a large portion of general university support for these projects as well. Diverting that to operations for faculty compensation and retention would be the better move to me at this point. Kind of think we should take a pause on the shiny new academic buildings for a while and focus on people.
doing more with less
This seems to be a theme university wide, as it has been with athletics for years. Any clue why? It's like Virginia Tech has some type of inferiority complex.
Would be interesting to hear some of the more extreme comments. Over a beer of course. I doubt that the faculty with the extreme comments subscribe here, but you never know just what will make it's way around. /shrug
