After Mark Packer's interview with Jim Phillips at the ACC spring meeting, he mentioned that several ACC schools had "Lawyered Up". I wish he had asked Phillips about the situation. Apparently, he didn't want to put him on the spot.

Agree!

Correction in above. I only saw TWO years of Tech football in the SEC as a student--1962 and 1963 seasons. Our resignation was effective June 30 prior to the 1964 season.

As one of the Old Dudes you mentioned, I certainly hope you are correct. I do remember how things were when GT was a member of the SEC since I attended games as a student during our last three seasons in the SEC. As one of our associates said in a previous post, the difference between then...

Agree, plus Our AAU membership will help with the Big 10. I guess there may be a very slight chance for an SEC invite in defense of bringing the Big 10 into the South. I believe this was mentioned earlier from one of our associates. I doubt that happening due to the SEC grudge against us from...

I certainly understand your point and you are likely correct. I hope you are. I do question what ESPN believes is in their best interest. Over the past several months, ESPN has allowed a steady drumbeat of ACC criticism plus the likely creation of two mega conferences of approximately 24...

Regretfully for GT, it does. Obviously, the difference between the B1G and SEC and the next 3 will only increase when expansion takes place in 2024. The ACC commissioner has a poor hand to play in any negotiations with ESPN. He can't ask for much more money with the ACC numbers. Only way for...

Sorry for the Scramble of my small spreadsheet. Tried to edit but failed. Maybe you can make sense of the numbers.

You may want to try "Medium.com. Running it Back with Zach--Which College programs were the most watched". There are three articles covering 2015 thru 2019, 2021, and 2022. He shows the AVERAGE views per game per team for the regular 12 game season. He covers all power 5 teams plus 20 to 30...

I definitely agree with your thoughts on more National Recruiting. Due to the larger pool, we should have better odds to find students who are qualified and want the Academic Rigor plus Football. Please understand that I am as proud of our Academic Rigor as anyone. I remember the Saturday...

Thanks for the Info.

I agree that many of these academic rankings are not as data based as we would like. The major point I was trying to make was that some broad-based Universities are still highly ranked Academically. Many Tech people seem to think TECH will lose its academic reputation if we make some...

I respect your demonstrative response to my post concerning Tech and expansion of the curriculum. Is your strong response based on one of the following: Academic Status/Reputation Tradition Uniqueness of Tech The Word--"University" I will note that several board-based Universities Rank higher...

Georgia Tech University would sound fine to me. Academic Expansion with a larger range of Majors would likely be the only way to have the kind of Highly competitive Sports program many of us would like.

My paranoia is about to show! However, I believe the Order of opponents and Off Weeks will be determined by the wishes of the following Schools in this order: Duke--NC--UVA--Clemson--FSU--Northern Tier--Rest of us. I base my reasoning on the 3 permanent teams each of the schools received. I...

The SEC started making a major commitment to Basketball a few years ago with new facilities and major coaching Salaries. Big 12 is also getting ahead of the ACC. ACC has basically lost the ability to call themselves the best in Basketball.

Once any Program gets into a downward spiral like this one, coaching rumors start, recruiting suffers, and fan support drops dramatically. I received a robo phone call from Pastner in his first year and he was so positive and enthusiastic, I felt like he would produce a top level program...

Reference Ted Roof, I would add the UGA game in 85. Georgia's running game was really moving late in the game. Ted came into the game with a badly sprained ankle and really help shut them down deep in Tech Territory.

Agree. Also believe if the College Presidents and NCAA were to Reinstate the Freshman ineligibility rule and require the one- year delay on Transfers, this would automatically place more emphasis on academics. If one only wants to play football and be ready for the NFL in Three years, would...
