# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ Mark Berman has posed essentially this same question after each game. Young has answered him in detail up until last night. Last night was a message to Berman that he was tired of the same jab.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ When you lose 80% of your roster and all of your starting five you are going to struggle regardless but in the NIL landscape it's compounded because if you don't have money, you aren't going to be able to compete to replace that 80%.
I think that had more to do with how little he played school and the reality that he was probably going to be academically ineligible the following year.
Yep, they built a revenue advantage with the football contracts and then dumped that cash into other sports as well. They have been outspending everyone except the basketball blue bloods for years. Basketball you can buy a contender for a few million and that is pocket change for the SEC.
lol Jerod was told that he would go undrafted, but he went anyways.
This makes Cade McNamara's 7th year look like child's play. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42775285/iowa-qb-cade-m...
I can assure you, there's a never ending supply of WT101 in my house plus we make our own wine...
He was fired after Bud's last game.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Vanderbilt (7-1) at Virginia Tech (3-4) 915pm ACCN/ESPN+ The team sucks, plain and simple. No need to beat around the bush. Most of these guys playing and especially starting wouldn't be playing (let alone starting) on most other P4 teams.
I don't have an answer to how to fix this but if this team gets into double digit wins, I will be shocked. Thanks Whit.
Is this pic before or after Kill started swinging?
Obviously this is just a sound byte but that shit pisses me off. You're the damn coach. It ain't the reporter's job to get guys to score. Side note, I bet Berman's got suggestions for you, coach... Tis the season.
LOL, take your leg
How much of the current problems are because they stripped the NIL money from the program.
Nobody wants to talk about money to players or coaches. Especially as they tell Drones they are giving at least half his money to Pop.
SOUP OR SALAD?

Guy has a sense of humor about it. This was him at the start of this school year.

Bottom line: found a way to come back and win a tight game on the road against an SEC team, in Coach's first season. That's a big deal!
Well it takes us from a team fighting to be on the bubble to a team that will struggle to win 9 games total and 3 or 4 in the ACC. We know NIL accounts for that.
My question is if NIL is fixed, where is the program under this staff? I think the answer is consistently between .500 and a 2-3 seed in the NIT. Is that worth spending a lot on NIL? I don't think so but it's up to the athletic department to determine. Can we beat that with an up and coming coach? Absolutely yes, but of course there are no guarantees the guy you pick will be better
