The NFL tries to institute parity which gives fans hope hence it’s by far the most popular sport. I would suggest you maybe not quit being a Tech fan but temper your expectations.

No it’s much lower and the 87% you cite is for the athletic program as a whole. https://www.onlineathens.com/story/news/education/campus/2019/11/29/graduation-rates-low-for-ncaa-playoff-hopefuls/2188920007/

No it’s not. That’s the uga athlete grad rate you are citing. https://amp.onlineathens.com/amp/2188920007

The business of football is the focus at a lot of schools and has been for awhile. Honestly, divorcing the football team from the school likely won’t result in a major change in terms of the teams at the top of CFB. Those schools have long ago divorced athletics from academics. If you don’t...

It helps big agents save money in the long run. Instead of years of thousands of dollars in payments with no guarantees the athlete will stick with you, you can now pay once they are ready/proven or choose to invest at a lower rate

What’s even crazier is the money is guaranteed. I am happy for the kid and his family but it’s not looking good for most of the P5 when it comes to talent acquisition.

Yeah good luck to him. I guess he wanted to stay in the P5.

Yeah he’s starting new thing. He does the weekly free podcast with Gojackets too

That’s a really risky proposition though. Ideally, we want to build a team with high school recruits and hit the portal for depth and to plug gaps.

They plan on hitting the portal hard. Also, I don’t think the staff anticipated this many transfers just before spring practice

I am not sure there is any response since only a couple of the guys who left us for the portal have even landed at another P5 let alone a G5 school.

Why? We would still play uga. We would also have much more money to compete.

Correct me if I am wrong, a number of the big 10 schools(and Uchicago) are part of some massive research consortium that averages hundreds of millions or billions each year. What I never understood was why GT didn’t want do everything it could to become affiliated with this research consortium

They don’t realize or know that they are marginal players. They are human and self evaluation is something most people struggle to do.

It’s definitely not easier for the athletes to switch schools than the coaches since the athletes still theoretically have to be in good standing. See Brian Kelly, Lincoln Riley, and countless other coaches this hiring cycle.

College football has changed. Some would argue the strength coach and general manager/recruiting coordinator are the most important staff members after the coordinators/play callers

DRad wasn’t the AD when stadium expansion occurred was he? He definitely was the AD when we didn’t angle for the Big Ten.

Lol @bargain bin shoppers. We need a billionaire booster or two to change our plight.

That used to be the case. Now P5 assistant regularly make more than nfl assistants. College football teams are literally paying coaching staffs significantly more than NFL teams, which is a big reason you see the same teams win over and over again in college.
