I have seen zero evidence that the President doesn't at least look favorably on athletics. When the athletics department hasn't been inept, they have gotten most of the facilities improvements that they could - I see no evidence that the office of the President hindered that in any way. Your...

Furthermore the president of GT isn't going to kowtow to the head football coach because he makes more money (not that he would even need to do so).

True, but I would say that GT is keeping up with the Joneses in academics, hence the salary of Peterson and the continued good academic reputation of GT. Again, it is not the job of the president to make sure GT becomes the next Clemson or Bama.

Already said, on the grounds of fraud he deserves to go, but not on the grounds of not stealing to give to athletics.

I can agree with that, but that's not what you wrote. What you wrote is athletes shouldn't have to take it. I can get behind this clarification.

And that reason is that college football is moronic trying to keep up with Joneses and the TV money. Nope, that is enough. My point is that athletics support isn't in the equation.

Exactly. The way the point was phrased is just stupid. The insinuation is that athletes deserve the same degree without even the faintest nod towards doing the same work. If you want to open non-Calc degree programs, I can support that idea. I can agree that there are several (non-engineering)...

Dude, it's not about athletes not taking it. If you don't want athletes to take it, then you have to open up a non-Calculus degree program. You can't just say that all the other students have to have it for this degree, but these athletes don't. That's my point.

Just to clarify my position; I couldn't care less about Peterson, all I'm saying is that the President has several bigger priorities than direct involvement in athletics and that's the way it should be. Now, can he be favorable, sure. I don't think you want one who is against athletics.

Meh. I have seen zero actual evidence that Peterson hindered athletics and frankly if he was the overt face of athletics, it may have even hurt educational donorship.

No it's not. If the desire is to remove it for all students under a certain degree program - then that is fair game. Different class requirements for athletes vs general student population should not be done.

Not sure what the president of the University has to do with backing of funding. He cannot just steal from the educational endowments to give to athletics.

And this is pretty much the only legitimate reason I have heard for it being time for him to go.

Not sure what pipe you guys are smoking. The president of the University shouldn't care that much about athletics beyond that they should be competitive. It's not like the President can just take money from the school to pay for athletics - it doesn't work that way, nor should it. I have no...

You just in your own post pointed out why we can't recruit like some of those schools. From a football only perspective, there are several schools on there that are hands down much better. ND, Michigan, Penn State. Take those out and you might have a point. Not sure exactly what point you might...

Good staff so far. Ready to see the salary numbers we are at now.

TQ ran for 100+ on UVA and nearly that on Miami. Whatever doesn't matter, CPJ and his offense is gone. I think GT needs to have a mobile QB that is used like a mobile QB, i.e. a part of the run game.

Actually, in 2015 we passed more. Notice the number of games...

I can see you have a really short sighted view of PJ's offense based largely on TaQuon at QB. That's fine. I still maintain that the QB needs to be part of the run game in the same way that Clemson was under Watson, the way that Mullen uses a QB, etc. Where we will screw up is if we try the...

Patenaude's offense is typically pass 45% or more, which is a recipe for disaster with this roster, IMO. QB must be a part of the run game and needs to run for 600-700 yards in my opinion. Patenaude's offense is almost exclusively from the gun. If we ask LJ and Graham to hand off and throw from...
