## Resource

#WestVirginia #TransferPortal #Big12 West Virginia’s athletic department is entering an entirely DIFFERENT era… and Wren Baker just said the quiet part out loud. The WVU AD revealed the Mountaineers are on pace for the BEST FUNDRAISING YEAR IN SCHOOL HISTORY — and that changes EVERYTHING. From exploding donor support… to Rich Rodriguez strategically banking NIL money… to WVU believing it’s finally a TOP HALF Big 12 program financially… this was one of the most revealing and IMPORTANT interviews we’ve heard in years. 🔥 Wren Baker says WVU’s fundraising is reaching HISTORIC levels 🔥 Why the donor class has suddenly AWAKENED 🔥 Rich Rod’s long-term NIL strategy explained 🔥 Why football and basketball are clearly the engines 🔥 WVU’s aggressive revenue expansion plans 🔥 The REAL purpose behind the West Tower project 🔥 Why Baker thinks the current college sports model is UNSUSTAINABLE 🔥 The warning signs for the rest of the Big 12 This wasn’t just an update. This sounded like a program that believes it finally has the resources to FIGHT BACK. #WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers #WVUFootball #WVUHoops #RichRod #WrenBaker #Big12 #CollegeFootball #CollegeBasketball #NIL #TransferPortal #LockedOnWVU Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
