    Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    Thanks. I haven’t looked at the data, but your explanation helps explain how the heck Duke could be ranked so high… maybe.

    House vs. NCAA

    I agree with what you say about outside compensation, but the cap on school spending still doesn’t seem right.

    4 year contracts I hope

    House vs. NCAA

    This is the biggest issue to me. The answer seems so obvious that they will not have to be students. Heck, they are barely students now. How can anyone expect that someone who is being paid several million dollars to play football will be made to go to class and make grades. Why? What would be...

    Conference Realignment

    Someone posted a chart of tv viewership for the ACC on here a while back and y’all’s beloved UNC was about 4th from last. I don’t understand why so many on here think UNC football is the poster child of the ACC. They have been mediocre forever. Clemson is clearly the poster child of the ACC.

    Who is more likely to be drafted: Kelly or Ndongo?

    I don’t know a ton about auburn bball, but miles doesn’t seem like a fit to me. Every time I watch them they seem loaded with super athletic type talent way beyond what miles can bring. Maybe he can fit in as purely a spot-up, catch and shoot, 3 point shooter.

    Who is more likely to be drafted: Kelly or Ndongo?

    I hate to generalize, but I think most of these players wanting to play pro, couldn’t care less about getting a degree.

    Agree. And GT fans on here want to see us play those lousy teams every year. Please no. 🥱

    Conference Realignment

    Because it hurts too bad to talk about how GT has been far worse than Miami, and actually one of the worst bottom feeders in the conference. Ouch.

    For those in support of a free for all, free market, pay to play model, how would you feel about GT just signing a naming rights sponsorship deal with the Atlanta Falcons. That’s all this amounts to. Professional sports with absolutely no affiliation to colleges except in name. Except it’s even...

    Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    Some interesting and surprising stats in that chart. Namely that unc viewership is near the bottom of the conference. Unc gets a lot of credit on this board for being near the top of the conference, which I’ve never understood. For all my 45 years they have been pretty much mediocre, but I’m...

    Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    I can see what is clearly in front of me just fine, and I am simply saying that it is all becoming less and less interesting to me the more egregiously mercenary it becomes.

    Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    Ok, so as an alumnus, you clearly have a connection to GT that is important to you, as do I, but for me, the more the players become disconnected from GT, the more I become disinterested in the players and the game they are playing. What if college football teams became professional teams with...

    Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    But why do you root for GT, or any school for that matter, if you don’t care about the college experience? If you just care about what happens on the field, why not just be a front runner and cheer for whatever team is the best (hint, it’s those mouth breathers over on that pig farm cesspool...

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    I hear you in general, but 3 out 4 ncaa final four teams this year had dominant big men playing the center position. The final game had 7’-1” matched up against 7’-4”.

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    I love your analysis. I just have one point of disagreement and one question as food for thought. First, Ben Lammers was excellent operating as a facilitator, shooter, and scorer from the high post in a Princeton style offense. I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that he could have been...

    As expected, Amaree is entering the portal

    I’m not sure he was basically handed the starting pg position. He hardly played all season. CDS clearly wasn’t impressed.

    Kyle Sturdivant says goodbye to Georgia Tech

    Sturdy is probably my favorite player on this team. Sad to see him go, but also immensely proud of him and the way he has and will continue to represent the Institute. I don’t know him personally , but he certainly seems to have the character and ability to accomplish great things in life. I...

    ACC Tournament - MBB Edition

    Nait George had a huge game, but he committed back to back turnovers on basically our last two possessions that essentially cost us any chance to win the game. The middle screen and roll was simply too predictable and Nait ended up in a tough spot and ND took away his only likely option. I agree...
