We'll get a special visit from Director of Athletics Whit Babcock on Episode 16 of Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling. Babcock is in his second year leading the department in Blacksburg and he breaks down the role of the wrestling program at Virginia Tech, his experiences in the sport while in college at James Madison and as an administrator at Missouri as well as his goals for the program at Tech. Babcock explains how his career as an athlete might give him a little bit of an advantage when it comes to leading a department. Because the landscape of college athletics is changing with the Power 5 and the cost of attendance being key topics, Babcock gives his take on the wrestling program's presence within the school and the department as a whole.
