[QUOTE="Techster, post: 1009957, member: 360"] ESPN and Sports Illustrated articles talking about it have been posted several times on here. You won't get the main parties (B1G and GT/Peterson) to say anything because they are still bound to a non disclosure. Here's one a few articles that mention it: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/21945677/college-football-playoff-national-championship-home-atlanta[/URL] [I]Not only does Atlanta sit at the geographic heart of the SEC and the ACC, two of the conferences that make up the Power 5, [B]but five years ago, when the Big Ten expanded to 14 teams, [U]the league didn't take Rutgers until it had been turned down by Georgia Tech[/U].[/B] Atlanta has brought in so many transplants that nearly half of the Power 5 schools have alumni watch parties on autumn Saturdays.[/I] There was an SI writer that also wrote about it a while back, but I'm too lazy to dig around the internet for the article. If you have Twitter, just do a search for Georgia Tech and Big Ten and you find many tweets from 2012 and 2013 that talk about it. EDIT: OK, I wasn't as lazy as I thought... [URL unfurl="true"]https://theathletic.com/3405241/2022/07/07/big-ten-sec-acc-dear-andy-college-foortball/[/URL] I can't quote it because it's behind a paywall, but this Athletic article about expansion also mentions it. The same guy that wrote that article, Andy Staples, wrote one for Sports Illustrated a while back that also mentioned B1G inviting GT. [/QUOTE]
