Yeah, we look like a "tweener" program to me. Too academic and lacking a big enough fan base to go toe to toe with the SEC, but with too large an athletic administration to fit in with the mid-majors. What is more prohibitive: to grow or to shrink? It is a conundrum.

Visualize a hydro-electric dam. The up-stream lake being filled up is the TV revenue being shared by NCAA administrators, bloated AA budgets, inflated coach compensations, etc. The downstream trickle is the money paid to athletes via education, books room and training table. The Dam controls...

That is called racketeering and is a felony under federal jurisdiction. I'm not sure what further regulation would be needed beyond that. Over time the market will establish price equilibrium after this initial period on instability. Investors will tire quickly of throwing money away with...

Subsequent to the Ed O'Bannon case, the NCAA has no legal basis to limit player income based on NIL. NIL funds are not coming from any NCAA entity and is merely a contract between the player and an outside party so that the NCAA nor it's members can deny a player that income and expect it to...

I I don't know you personally, but based on your posts you come across to me as a highly biased peron with a real axe to grind against this coach and a possessor of a seriously wretched attitude as a follower of a sports team. Being a GT fan is hard enough. You lesson my enjoyment of...

The NCAA tried to fight the Ed O'Bannon suite but, rightfully, lost. There is no legal basis to control this as it deals with fundamental property rights. The NCAA had existed in a bubble of legal exemptions that no one cared about because there was not big money in it. Once the TV money...

No way to blame the NCAA for this mess. This is the last thing they wanted. They are corrupt but they had a corner on the corruption. NIL opens the floodgates for all sorts of outside parties to swoosh in for a piece of the pie. The NCAA is now a mere bystander watching this circus just like...

I had actually thought that GT, being in the center of Atlanta, the economic center of the entire SE region, would get on top of this NIL thing and make use of the natural advantages of being in the mix with and under the noses of all these businesses. Instead, Gt has apparently let the SEC...

Jeeze, it is the Wild West out there! The status of the game is chaotic with the portal and NIL, etc. No wonder that many old schoolers will want to check-out. Heck, even as a fan I'm not sure it is worth embracing.

Change is afoot! That could be a good thing coming-off a 14th finish in the ACC. While it makes us nervous to lose something we know is good, shaking things up can be invigorating for everyone. Fresh blood in a good idea.

From '01-'05 Hewitt was 39-41 in the ACC (.489) From '06-'11 Hewitt was 42-74 in the ACC (.362) in that latter half of Hewitt's tenure here, Gt played some of the most gawd-awful basketball one could want to watch, even when we had five star players. They made my eyes bleed. What is obvious to...

Don't forget the handling of the shoe-gate NCAA investigation where it was D-Rad, I believe, who parlayed a minor infraction into a major one for failure to cooperate with investigators by hiring an inexperienced and antagonistic legal team. He was a big figure in that fiasco as well. It was...
