Record Donations to VT in 2017
From HokieSports: VT Receives $15.4M gift
Virginia Tech has received its largest ever gift to athletics and the single-largest outright gift ever given to the university: a record $15.2 Million Donation for Athlete Performance Center

University President Tim Sands announced Monday that a $15.2 million donation to the university will be used to help create a state-of-the-art Student-Athlete Performance Center on Virginia Tech’s Blacksburg campus. The gift will benefit student-athletes in all 22 intercollegiate sports. It was made by an alumni couple who are Virginia natives.

This announcement comes at the end of an extraordinary calendar year of giving to Virginia Tech. In April, Sands announced that more than $25 million had been raised toward the Intelligent Infrastructure and Construction Complex, a key project in one of the university’s Destination Areas of strategic focus. That month also saw the Hokie Club announce it had passed $30 million in total giving for the first time. In August, the university announced that it had raised a record $162.28 million in new gifts and commitments during the 2017 fiscal year. Later that month, 137 new students arrived on campus as the first beneficiaries of a Beyond Boundaries Scholars program fueled by nearly four dozen donors. In September, Virginia Tech announced its largest ever scholarship gift, $15 million from the A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation.

They have alienated a lot of people in the process.

It is great to have more money but at what cost?

The large donations are great but squeezing the locals out is just going to result in empty stadiums. Our rich alumni live hundreds of miles away.

There is also a silent opening to their campaign for the next billion dollars in the endowment going on. So they'll probably state it as a goal after they are halfway there.
