Virginia Tech Hokies
· 2026-06-23
The Virginia Tech Hokies have hired Brian White as their new Vice President and Athletic Director, replacing the retiring Whit Babcock.
Brian White, former Vice President and Athletic Director of Florida Atlantic University, has joined the Hokies.
He has a reputation as a big fundraiser, but his experience at the Power 5 level is non-existent.
The Hokies' athletic department is in a total administrative rebuild.
White's last university program, Florida Atlantic University, had a bumpy football record, with only 5 years of greater than .500 records in 22 years.
During his tenure from 2018-2025 as AD, the Owls only had a single season over .500 with Lane Kiffin as head coach.
That was in White's second season with the team in 2019 when FAU played in Conference USA.
The Owls' Men's basketball team fared a bit better, making it into the NCAA tournament in 2023 and 2024.
Mr. White will have much to learn and navigate in his new role.
The fanbase will be hyped up about some things, but many deep diggers will be a bit perplexed as to why this choice was made.
Since the Hokies are in a total administrative rebuild, the results will all happen as they do and success remains to be seen.
The Hokies are hungry for success, and it's going to be a tough assignment with very little leash to count on.
Brian White named Virginia Tech’s Vice President and Director of Athletics, according to Hokie Sports.
He has a big task ahead of him to turn the athletic department around.
The Hokies' football program has struggled in recent years, and White will need to make some big changes to get them back on track.
White's experience as a fundraiser will be crucial in his new role.
He will need to bring in big money to support the athletic department.
The Hokies' fans are eager to see what White will do in his new role.
They are hoping he will bring some much-needed excitement to the program.
The future of the Hokies' athletic department is uncertain, but one thing is for sure, Brian White will be at the helm.
He has a lot of work to do, but he is ready for the challenge.
The Hokies' athletic department is in good hands with White.
He has the experience and the knowledge to make some big changes.
The fans will be watching closely to see what he does.
The pressure is on, but White is ready.
