Tech's success starts with football
By Todd C. Pittman
Pittman, of Floyd County, is a 1991 Virginia Tech alumnus.
Here we go again. When University of Virginia supporters like Mel Fuller feel that Virginia Tech gets more support in the local news media, they feel the need to take shots at Virginia Tech's academics or exclaim how they don't accept athletes of questionable character at "The" University ("Tech's priorities are misplaced," Nov. 21 letter).
I've got some unfortunate news for Fuller and all the UVa faithful who want to continue to go down this road. Was the emphasis put on academics when UVa built the new John Paul Jones Arena, or when it put millions into renovating Scott Stadium?
