Whit Babcock isn’t pleading poverty because he thinks he can get Virginia Tech donors to open up their checkbooks.

He knows that Tech Athletics has pretty much tapped out what it can get from its money people.

There isn’t another $50 million or $60 million a year just sitting out there waiting to be tapped.

What Babcock is doing is, he’s daring the Virginia Tech administration to fire him.

Be careful what you wish for there.
