The Hunter Cattoor agenda is back on. #Hokies

@MillsTwitch Hopefully the focus from the devs this cycle was gameplay and game mode improvements, and not people playing dress up

Virginia Tech is operating in a completely new dimension under James Franklin.

The #Hokies aren't even in the same universe they were in October 2025.

[Ricky LaBlue @RickyLaBlue]

Holy s***.

A $75 million donation, most of which is going to athletics, is incredible.

When you hire the right folks, you inspire those with deep pockets to pitch in and join the effort. Virginia Tech is looking more and more like a big-time program. #Hokies

[HokieSports @hokiesports]

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. 📈

@VTVette73 I specifically mentioned that with respect to Sands and Whit.

Rocovich, however, was not on his way out.

Good on you, 'Hoos. This game always should've been on campus.

International college football games is an awful idea.

@ElectricHokie I don't know man, I got a chill down my spine every time we snagged a recruit away from Western Kentucky

I will not care about recruiting rankings until December I will not care about recruiting rankings until December I will not care about recruiting rankings until December I will not care about recruiting rankings until December

[Hokie Hangover Podcast @HokieHangover]

Let's check in on those recruiting rankings...

Virginia Tech's Class of 2027 is currently ranked NINTH in the country. The #Hokies average recruit rating of 88.58 is higher than both Penn State and UCLA, which are ranked higher than VT.

Anything opposed by BOTH of these ravenous institutions might be a good thing after all.

Joint statement from SEC and Big Ten, who “do not support” the Protect College Sports Act “as drafted.”

[Hokie Hangover Podcast @HokieHangover]

Talked a lot about the new Hokie Ventures last night on the show. VT has dropped some details below on the new entity and how it will help the #Hokies move forward.

[Ricky LaBlue @RickyLaBlue]

I think @MikeMcDanielSI said it best last night on @HokieHangover.

Tech MBB & WBB are currently resourced to compete for a tournament berth. Expectations should be tailored accordingly.

My hope is that one day, Tech will have a large enough pool of resources to invest more heavily in those programs.

[Ricky LaBlue @RickyLaBlue]

The sad reality is that Virginia Tech cannot presently fund a championship-level WBB program.

Hopefully that’s doable down the road, but we’re not there right now. There are bigger fish to fry. #Hokies

[Damien Sordelett @DamienSordelett]

#Hokies Duffy said that championship-level women's basketball teams cost between $8 million to $10 million. Certainly raised some eyebrows in the room.

[Ricky LaBlue @RickyLaBlue]

@treadmillhorse I was worried about Chesney ending up at PSU. Very happy he's on the opposite coast.

Virginia Tech's Board of Visitors meeting was a doozy, featuring Invest to Win details, the creation of Hokie Ventures, and the first meeting since John Rocovich's dismissal.

We covered it all last night. Watch below ⤵️ #Hokies

John Rocovich Was Just Fired. What Happens Next for Virginia Tech? https://t.co/Y6Vx973m4K

[Damien Sordelett @DamienSordelett]

Creation of Hokie Ventures passes unanimously.

Now is discussion for authorizing loaning $15.2 million to capitalize the new university-related corporation. #Hokies
