VIRGINIA TECH FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS

"To me, I think Tech fans are like NASCAR fans. NASCAR fans cheer for one driver and they're only going to buy the products of the sponsor of that one driver. If those Tech fans see the names of those sponsors associated with Virginia Tech, then they're going to buy those products. There's a loyalty issue there. So it's really a win-win situation for everyone."
