    How general purpose is that gobbledegook? Let’s see how it works with a few minor tweaks:

    Leveraging Web3 technology will allow our fans to access experiences and ownership that was not possible before. Hokies Odyssey will transcend the foundational benefits that our Hokie Club members have come to love, and unlock digital, physical and experiential benefits that are uniquely
    Virginia Tech,” continued Brewer. “By integrating into the Hokie Club ecosystem and grounding the experience in football, connection and
