What is to debate? GT is more like Vanderbilt now with a heavy focus on academics, a tolerance for athletics, and lukewarm fan support. I don't see where that changes. The only thing that changes is the question of recruiting vs. use of the portal.

Good point. But let the OP do the financial comparison. He made the claim that he trusted the Knight Commission ... so, let him do the breakdown and the analysis of where KY generates funds and where they spend it. UTK for example, gets the same conference payouts but ... has a much larger...

Please put your panties back on. Kentucky generated $29.8M in football revenue in 2021. Georgia Tech generated $37.0M. Ergo, GT has more resources than KY. That DOES NOT MEAN, to those from La Jolla, that the money is BETTER SPENT. I have long maintained that we have idiots running the GTAA...

I dated a prominent person associated with the Purdue program. She described Frost as Dead Man Walking three years ago. Why? Back in the Cornhusker heyday (Tom Osborne), they recruited heavily IN-STATE. But kids in Nebraska don't want to play in state (cold, few prospects, etc) and so, ... they...

I have a different perspective. Not right, just different. When I was active in my corporate career, I took over a $500 million operation. Global. And I was NOT the first choice. Not by a long shot. In fact, no one had even heard of me. Still, after doing my due diligence, and some basic...

I have no idea where this is going, but on my way to play golf this morning, Sirius had a program on talking about how Mark Stoops arrived to a 2-10 team and has systematically rebuilt every aspect of the program. First, by heavily recruiting not in KY but Ohio. Winning a little, then a little...

I went to Neyland last week for a game and it was quite a show as they dedicated putting the old VOL signs back up. They had taken them down to "modernize" and fans loved seeing them go back up and light up. Being modern is one thing, but tradition matters too.

And yet, one of the Top 3 games I have every witnessed in college football involved Tech. Playing at Legion Field in the first game of the season, Tech - behind QB Jim Bob Taylor ... played to a 21-20 victory. You get the result you plan for.

Alabama beats Utah State 55-0. Georgia beats Oregon (No. 11!) 49-3. Ohio State beats Notre Dame 21-10. Clemson beats Tech 41-10. Dog bites man. Things turned out about as predicted. The fact is, there are very few teams that would have looked better against any of the top four that played...

I used to read all sorts of pov on stats. The best, easiest one was from CPJ. He once said if you score at least 28 points, it is very likely you win.

A good performance will be one where none of our players sneak over to sit on the Clemson bench for fear of having to be sent back into the game. Lee Corso today said something like 52-17, Clemson.

Tech generates more football revenue than Kentucky (SEC), Duke(ACC), North Carolina (ACC), Pittsburgh (ACC), Missouri (SEC), Mississippi State (SEC), Virginia (ACC), Vanderbilt (SEC) and Wake Forest (ACC). GT has always had problems making decisions and misallocating of funds. Richest and...

Why play Auburn or Tennessee when you schedule Citadel. It's a guaranteed win!

To specifically answer your question, it is a very, very bad look to let your number one revenue generator self-destruct for 3 years while you get your house in order. I know of no business that would allow that. He should have been involved much, much earlier and taken decisive action to keep...

Hard to say. AD Greene was never really in charge of athletics. It was a foregone conclusion that he would not be renewed as AD.

The GTAA measures for "competitive excellence" include the following: • NCAA Postseason Appearances and wins. • NACDA College Directors’ Cup Standings. • ACC Standings. • Team/Individual Records and Statistics. • Student-athlete: academic performance, roster retention...

Sounds like you didn't attend the same Georgia Tech I did

Sounds like you didn't attend the same Georgia Tech I did.

I agree, on paper, Geoff seemed legit. But we don't make decisions on paper. He has a record now.

Meh. I think Geof is not a good fit. It happens. Ask Butch Jones.
