Sands and Whit have 1 job right now - Get into the SEC or Big Ten

I've said this before, and I'll keep saying it again, Virginia Tech athletics cannot survive in the current climate. It cannot survive being a hard line in the sand second or third class citizen in college athletics and expect to survive. Any remote semblance of success we have right now, we see everyone responsible for it poached by schools that can pay more and because of our TV deal, there is nothing we can do to stop it.

Kenny Brooks should not be leaving Blacksburg. The fact that he is because of money is a failure of our own administration as well as the leadership of the ACC. We cannot compete in the status quo. If the ACC collapses, going to the Big 12 will do nothing to solve this issue. There is nothing we can do to make up a $50m per year gap in revenue streams. You cannot build on success when we have to start over every time we sniff it because someone can buy those responsible from us.

I don't care what we have to do, I don't care who we have to stab in the back to make it work. Virginia Tech needs to look out for Virginia Tech and if there is any hope we can get into the P2 we need to join forces with Clemson and Florida State to make it happen.

And if the worst case happens and we are left behind, its time to have a come to Jesus moment where we realize that its probably not worth playing these financial games if there's this hard of a glass ceiling over anything we try to do.
