The New Athletics Budget is Approved: What Next?

VT News will run this story in the wake of the BOV approving the new plan for funding the Athletics Department:

There are five items listed that the money will be put toward:

  • A new "front office" for football to manage recruiting, talent development and operations
  • Resources to attract and retain talented coaches in a highly competitive market
  • Additional operating support for athletics teams
  • Investments in Olympic sports
  • Infrastructure improvements to several of facilities to improve the athlete and fan experience

I have heard the new "front office" described as being an "NFL-style" operation, which is something I think many of us hoped for. Sounds like more money is going to be put into the coaching salary pool, as well.
