# | Javonte Ashford hired as Associate Athletic Director, Major Gifts Who is making the call to hire this guy right now? Is it Sands, or is Whit still somewhat involved?
I've been wondering the same. Hard to imagine Whit stays. But also hard to imagine we just hired this dude + are actively searching for a football GM without the Athletic Director position sorted out...

I think this is a good hire and what the Hokie Club desperately needs. I wonder if he has a contract or compensation that we can take a look at. Does he get a percentage of dollars brought in? What is going to be his long term plan?
Got mine for free(to me) cause it was covered by insurance as trans care and I'd already reached my deductible AND my max yearly out-of-pocket limit!(Hard to fund a surgeon who will jump through the insurance hoops though. Between him, the other staff. and hospital costs- they billed insurance $33k and insurance company paid $16k.
Hiring from the Danny White AD tree is akin to hiring somebody from Bama under Saban. Big time department there. Don't think we could have pulled this off without massive changes underway in the AD.

# | Javonte Ashford hired as Associate Athletic Director, Major Gifts This is one of those jobs where I don't care if we pay them more than the coach or AD if it's tied to a percentage of funds brought in. Bring in $100M and gets $8 or $10M I am good with it. One of the few jobs that can show a direct impact to paying for themselves.
My numbers are just a for instance but open to flexibility more so than most other jobs.
Nice to see us poach someone from the SEC instead of the other way around for once

# | Javonte Ashford hired as Associate Athletic Director, Major Gifts This is a big fucking deal.
I remember seeing him in the paper when he was King's first all american. The guy loves NETN/SWVA. VT just caught a big fish.
Fantastic move, FAM.
If anyone thought our institution might not be fully serious about follow through, this should help ease concerns.
There's a lot of hoops, otherwise all of the juniors and seniors would have in-state tuition...
My roommate at VT was trying to get into vet school. He was also trying to establish VA residency during that time off before applying. If I recall, after 2 years, neither thing occurred. (I know the Vet school is for VA and MD, but they did take students from other locations occasionally.)
you can for an investment of about $5000.
Turns out his hand that he broke in summer has been causing problems so likely was going to be shut down anyway for possible surgery and it appears this will be his medical redshirt this year.
Thank you. That does make sense. I remember - albeit from many years ago - that Virginia was supposed to be one of the hardest to get in-state tuition from. Took a quick peek at South Carolina's rules and they seemed to be a bit more lenient. Don't remember the rules off the top of my head, but think one of them was that you had to live there for a year and another is that you had to have your car registered there. What I could never figure out was does that year need to be done before you even apply to someplace like Clemson, South Carolina or College of Charleston or can you actually apply, then move there and work for a year and only start school after the full year working. Guessing it would not be allowed.

This has FX Miniseries written all over it.
Maybe have Liam Neeson put on a few pounds to play Bill.
Just need a good Jordon....
Wow, that's a really great hire right off the bat to reshape the Hokie Club. This right here is a large part of the reason why I think Whit is definitely going to be out/announced out as of 09/30. He's certainly done some good things in the past as far as non-football hires, but the disorganization of the AD and completely negligent state the Hokie Club has been in as far as staff with actual fundraising experience (what a novel idea) necessitates an overhaul in leadership.

# | Javonte Ashford hired as Associate Athletic Director, Major Gifts This sets itself up nicely to announce a major gift to help fund the increased budget as a quick win for Ashford
I will gladly take anyone from the Danny White tree.
Fished this morning in the wind. Got a 16" spec for the pan and we also caught a couple of decent gray trout. Lots of bites, some small blues, but a lot of small specs. I mean a lot. 8-10", and even smaller, were hitting on every dock and all morning long. Amazing the few remaining trout from last winter's kill were able to produce such a strong year class, if our results are any indication. No reds, no rockfish, no croaker, one spot, one grunt and a couple of lizards that held the tail of our flukes before dropping off at the boat.

# | Javonte Ashford hired as Associate Athletic Director, Major Gifts Prior fundraising experience, you say?
as a north carolina state tax payer - i simultaneously am mad about them wasting my money and am happy it is being wasted at the same time. I would prefer they just didn't use my money for stupid things though.
