## Resource

Virginia Tech just landed a $75 million unrestricted gift from a family with deep ties to the school—most going to athletics, with a chunk supporting the Honors College. Head coach James Franklin calls it a game-changer, fueling his vision to recruit elite talent, develop players, and compete for championships. With athletic director Whit Babcock retiring July 1st, Franklin is leading the search for a bold, aggressive successor who understands football’s role as the university’s front porch. This windfall signals Virginia Tech’s serious commitment to elevating its football program—and potentially landing a College Football Playoff berth sooner than later.
