When athletic director Whit Babcock met with the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors last month, he made a plea for more funding for the athletic programs. Virginia Tech was well behind the current times and other ACC schools when it came to money.
Staying where they were was not going to change things and make things any better. It would push Virginia Tech further from not only the top schools in the conference, but also nationally. That all changed on Tuesday morning.
Virginia Tech's Board of Visitors voted 13-1 to grow the budget to $229.
