The Virginia Tech men’s basketball
program enjoys a large presence
in the media: locally, regionally and
nationally. Both traditional media and
new, emerging media focus on the
Hokies.
Virginia Tech players are in high
demand for interviews, and, with the
constantly evolving platforms, many
opportunities for exposure are readily
available for the student-athletes. The
fans of Hokie Nation are thirsty for
information on their teams.
As a member of the Atlantic Coast
Conference, the Hokies enjoy the
benefits of one of the best and most
comprehensive television and Internet
rights packages. Every Virginia
Tech conference basketball game
is available over-the-air. Every Tech
game is available via the Internet,
providing worldwide exposure.
Virginia Tech players and coaches do
hundreds of interviews each season,
appearing on all forms of media,
including in-house opportunities.
With the emergence of HokieVision
and the prominence of Hokiesports.
com, more and more opportunities
are available to Virginia Tech student-
athletes. There are also opportunities
for student-athletes, looking for post-
graduate careers in the media, to
learn and hone their skills right here
on campus.
