It helps if you rarely play a decent team OOC and your conference opponents are all highly rated: SEC OOC opponents (ACC teams in bold): uga – Clemson, Tenn Tech, UMass, GT Missouri – Murray St, BC, Buffalo, UMass Tenn – Chatt, NC St, Kent ST, UTEP Kentucky – So Miss, Ohio, Murray St...

Batt & Cabrera have a basket full of fish to fry and Hall is not going to screw up the program by coaching one more season. Our baseball legacy is producing outstanding players, not outstanding teams. And Hall has contributed greatly to that legacy. Letting him have a final season will be good...

I agree with you. Since much of the endowment money came in the form of before tax donations, there are tax law issues, but I believe private universities should be able to use the endowment in ways they decide helps the university. There are also public universities with huge endowments (see...

Princeton is private. All the Ivy schools are private. Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Brown, Dartmouth, Columbia, Penn, and Cornell.

This is quote from Chad Bishops column today: "Even with Tech’s disappointing streak of failing to advance to a Super Regional living on for another year, it should be noted that Hall (now with 1,411 career wins over 37 seasons as a college coach), an American Baseball Coaches Association hall...

Since today is the third of June, take a moment and feel sorry for Billy Joe McAlister who jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge on this date.

My feeling is that Congress will have to undo the contracts via legislation that brings salaries and media deals in line with educational outcomes. One thing she did not say is a key for me. I think the NCAA needs to roll back freshman eligibility. When a person enrolls at a university he/she...

Sally Jenkins at the Washington Post has an interesting POV. I made the paywall open for this post. https://wapo.st/4e7J2Ka

I understand the frustration, but Coach Hall deserves a nice retirement celebration and our respect for all he has done for GT. But, I agree it is time to find a new coach to lead the program.

What is the basis for this? He came to GT three years ago and has represented the school in a very positive light for the entire time. You admit you know nothing about his status as a student, yet you make a bold, unfounded comment criticizing his reason for coming to GT in the first place.

They were last among FBS schools.

GT football GSR was 92% as of December 2023.

I agree with your point. I was responding to the post that athletes don't care about getting an education, but even uga players are getting degrees from the school at some level. I know 41% is awful, but it's not zero. And it's too many to just be walk-ons.

1 cup white vinegar 1 cup cider vinegar 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon pepper flakes 1 tablespoon Texas Pete 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper This is his recipe as given to me about 30 years ago. I am flexible with the pepper flakes because my wife doesn't like it as hot her...

I grew up eating sweet sticky bbq in Georgia. No more. But, I miss the Brunswick stew I got at Old Hickory House. Texas bbq is basically overcooked meat with a sticky sauce. Pork lends itself to long slow cooking much better than beef. Done well it doesn't need much help. My sauce recipe, that I...

I am not going to say my GSU degree or my UAB masters is the same as a GT degree. It isn't. I never had the classroom competition you guys faced. But my education enabled me to retire at 55 (my wife at 51) with enough money to leave my three sons with no college debt (and two GT degrees) and a...

I do not know what will happen going forward, but some colleges, GT among them, have not given up on the student part of the student-athlete model. Over in Athens, uga used to do pretty well at graduating their players, but they are now LAST in GSR among the 130 FBS teams. But, even uga...

If my memory is correct, three players graduated from last season's basketball team.

GT is graduating significant numbers of athletes in every sport. And we're not the only ones. Someone seems to disagree with your premise.

I have a couple of NC lawyer friends who follow the FSU case and they pretty much agree with your sentiment. From a legal standpoint the FSU lawsuit doesn't have much merit. They are counting on Florida courts to give them an exit window, but any appeal that goes beyond a Florida court is likely...
