VT football spending - A narrative violation

This is the best article on VT football spending.

In many ways it violates the narrative "we don't have or spend enough on football". We are third in ACC and at median of big 10 schools.

For a while we much higher nationally but haven't kept up with pace of spending the last few years.

My only flag with sharing this is I question some of data sources and accuracy of reporting in those sources. The reason being things we fans might consider recruiting expenses might be reported elsewhere by VT and we'll never know if universities standardize this.

But what is clear is the overall spend.

Seeing this my head goes from "woe is us poor little VT" to "hmmm we are squandering opportunity here".

Enjoy. And kudos to Chris Himes for such a great article.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
