@Persi423 @On3NIL We need this to maybe get a SEC invite when the ACC implodes.

Historic. Transformational. Game-changing.

Virginia Tech has received a $75 million commitment, the largest in university history. From Invest to Win to the future ahead, the momentum continues. 📈

This is an absolute game changer for Virginia Tech athletics.

Mehul Sanghani asked Hall about updating the WiFi at Lane Stadium. Amy Sebring, the university's COO, said that is a big ticket item that would need an initial investment of $15 million to $16 million.

Hall said the look Sanghani gave him was his exact reaction. #Hokies

Statement from Senator Mark Obenshain on the Removal of John Rocovich from the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors

HARRISONBURG, VA — Senator Mark Obenshain (R-Rockingham) issued the following statement today regarding Governor Abigail Spanberger's removal of John Rocovich as Rector of the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors:

"John Rocovich has devoted decades of his life to Virginia Tech and the Commonwealth of Virginia. His record of service, leadership, and philanthropy is extraordinary. Few individuals have done more to strengthen Virginia Tech, and few have earned the respect of the university community to the degree that he has. I am proud to stand with John Rocovich.

That is why this action raises serious concerns. Virginia law permits the removal of a board member only for malfeasance, misfeasance, incompetence, or gross neglect of duty. Those standards exist to protect public institutions from political interference and to ensure that board members can exercise independent judgment without fear of retaliation.

Governor Spanberger has publicly identified no conduct that appears to satisfy that legal standard. If grounds for removal exist, Virginians deserve to know what they are. Transparency is not optional when the law itself requires specific reasons for such an extraordinary action.

What makes this decision especially disappointing is that Governor Spanberger campaigned on a promise to depoliticize higher education governance and to reduce executive involvement in the affairs of Virginia's universities. Removing the sitting rector of Virginia Tech without publicly stating a lawful basis appears inconsistent with those commitments.

This issue is bigger than any one individual. The precedent established today will apply to future governors and future boards at every public university in Virginia. Virginia Tech belongs to the people of the Commonwealth, not to any political administration. John Rocovich deserves fairness, and Virginians deserve an explanation. I call on the Governor to publicly state the specific reasons for this action and allow the public to judge whether they satisfy the requirements of Virginia law."

Senator Obenshain represents the Second District in the Senate of Virginia. The district includes the city of Harrisonburg and the counties of Bath, Highland, Page, Rockingham, and Augusta (part.) He is a member of the Senate Committees on Courts of Justice; Commerce & Labor; Agriculture, Conservation, and Natural Resources; and Finance and Appropriations.

@treadmillhorse I wish they’d do Tennessee every year. Everyone in SWVA knows how they feel about Tennessee.

Thank you to Rector John Rocovich for his service leading the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors. I look forward to working with the next rector to help move @virginia_tech forward. #UtProsim

Virginia Tech led by James Franklin is going to look a whole lot more like 1995-2010 VT than 2010-2025.

The nation has been put on notice.

James Franklin comes out on the field in pre-game to Jay-Z's "Public Service Announcement."

Notable line at the start: "Allow me to reintroduce myself." #Hokies

Few donors have done as much behind the scenes to further Virginia Tech football as Mehul Sanghani.

#Hokies fans should be thrilled with this news.
