Gone are the days of “do more with less”; now, private jets, flexible budgets, and NIL fundraising goals of $30M/year are fueling a full-court press to rebuild from the bottom of the ACC. Franklin’s already committed $18.5M to staff and $3M to recruiting, even bringing in Brent Pry to help navigate the transition. The Hokies are no longer playing catch-up—they’re launching a championship-level overhaul, and the nation is watching to see if this gamble pays off.
