[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 963336, member: 4334"] I know a lot of GT families from down in South Georgia whose kids are outstanding students and are now at UGA because they either got the transfer option or denied. I also know a lot of out of state kids with less SAT scores who got in (more money from out of state). And I’m not commenting on GT’s admission process. All’s I’m saying is there is a reason (follow the data) of why GT’s fanbase has shrunk while admission has grown. And it’s not because GT has bad fans. It’s because GT does not produce alumni who become fans. That is clear. And with a kid on campus it is sad what he tells me. I still remember his freshman year when he lived in Glenn and could see the stadium from his room. And on game day #1 as he walked thru the dorm he was one of the few actually wearing the colors and going to the game. He said most of the rooms were watching soccer from Europe or watching other college games. I remember after the game walking in his dorm to see how the first few weeks went after we moved him in and very few were even interested in the game. That is why we have a core 25-30,000 fans which is who we will see this Saturday. [/QUOTE]
