## Resource

#WestVirginia #Big12 #NIL Wren Baker may have just revealed the MOST important thing happening inside WVU athletics right now… and it has NOTHING to do with a touchdown or a jump shot. Before this year, West Virginia had only FOUR donations of $5 million or more in SCHOOL HISTORY. Now? Wren says WVU already has THREE this year… with FOUR MORE verbal commitments they’re trying to close. That’s potentially $35 MILLION. In ONE cycle. Tonight we break down: 🔥 Why this changes EVERYTHING for WVU athletics 🔥 Why donors suddenly BELIEVE again 🔥 How Rich Rodriguez & Ross Hodge changed the energy 🔥 Why WVU is aggressively modernizing for the NIL era 🔥 The hidden analytics + recruiting revolution happening behind the scenes 🔥 Why Chuck Lillie’s comments sounded STRAIGHT out of the NFL This isn’t just fundraising anymore. This feels like WVU preparing to FIGHT in the future of college sports. #WVU #WestVirginia #WrenBaker #RichRod #CollegeFootball #Big12 #NIL #Mountaineers #WVUFootball Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
