Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University fields a women's tennis team in the Atlantic Coast Conference (NCAA Division I). In 2024–25 the roster carried 15 players, well above the median of 9, with 1 head coach and 1 assistant. Team expenses were $1,163,471, well above the median of $546k — $77,564 per roster spot, upper half of Division I women's tennis programs. Under the Division I roster cap of 10 in force from 2025-26, that is 5 over — cuts or attrition are likely, though players already on the roster may stay (54 of 301 Division I programs carried more than the cap). The team's multi-year Academic Progress Rate is 1000, about the median of 995, with 100% of players retained year to year. The school gave $8,380,411 in athletic aid across its women's teams, about $30,037 per roster spot.
