Coach Rice is being inducted into the National Football Foundation Leadership Hall of Fame at the College Football Hall of Fame on June 20, 2024.

Charlie was just a decade late in coming to Tech. Interesting discussion in the Veer Offense in https://veersite.blogspot.com/2004/06/coach-homer-rice.html to quote: "Coach Homer Rice is one of the names you will hear when the Veer offense is discussed. Coach Rice wrote one of the first books...

Not so idealistic a belief for many of us old timers. Go back 50 years years and you will find it was true that athletes graduated. Coach Hyder had only one scholarship basketball player not graduate in his 22 years as head coach. The football team was similar. Yes, we were real students...

I did catch it on a Florida web site when Kowacie signed last year that he had $95K in NIL at Florida. According to On3.com, he is the only basketball player at Tech getting NIL. Maybe if one signs up for The Tech Way, it is revealed to them what a player gets. Otherwise we are just stabbing...

What are salaries in the G League? To make things clear, yes, G League players are paid a salary. As of this season, players have a minimum salary of $40,500 for a total of 50 regular season games. Understandably, some players earn more depending on their performances and more importantly their...

At 21, we were looking for our first full-time paying jobs. I can see him doing the same at 21, looking for that full-time paying job The opportunities are there for him to be as one of 480 players on 32 G-League teams, one of 450 players on 30 teams in the NBA league, or 180 players on 12 NBA...

I suspect he was "discovered" in his home country of Senegal (one of the 12 teams in the NBA's Basketball Africa League (BAL)) and then attended three basketball academies in the US, being highly recruited as an academy "graduate". It appears he wanted to go to an academic oriented US college...

With a birth date of Jan 1, 2003, he was an older freshman. I was 21 when I graduated from Tech after 4 years. Times have changed for sure with the advent of basketball prep academies extending beyond the normal high school years. I can understand why he wants to go pro after his freshman...

Does anyone know what GT players get what NIL money and what they do to earn it?

The topo map shows the blue-ish lowlands of Georgia Tech that had to be considered as Tech grew. The Atlanta news article below says that Peters Park was favored below Grant Park in southeast Atlanta for the site of the new technological school in 1887 because of the low land location in Peters...

I remember a tunnel under the interstate when I was a freshman in Towers dorm in 1968. Extension of third st (Bobby Dodd Ave) to the east.

To me it looks like the new Peters Park connects directly to the north end of Bobby Dodd Stadium. I assume the red bridk building on the far left is the Fanning building. I guess there are no more streets for cars like Bobby Dodd Way. Makes you wonder about the parking situation on campus for...
