Any feasible suggestions?

There may be a way to make this work, but my initial thought that the AA could simply sell inside-only seating as an addition to the existing Club Level seating may not be feasible. The infrastructure is already there for a tailgate-like atmosphere, but there would need to be a way to discourage...

While it's theoretically possible, it's extremely unlikely that the ACC champ would be ranked lower than at least two G5 champs, and also not be in the top 12.

I had to think for a minute before I understood what you were saying - but now I believe it's a great idea. Sell Club Level "inside only" in addition to the stadium seating. I bet some would pay for a chance to simply have an extended tailgate in an air-conditioned environment with big-screen...

I'll continue doing my part to hit our goals in this thread. How about someone taking your approach to the next level? We need a plot of pages/day with a trendline that projects to the 1000-page goal. Would be very Tech-like.

Agreed as well. Separating P4 or FBS Football governance from the remaining NCAA sports has been proposed for a few years now, from the Knight Commission and more recently the NCAA itself. There is a growing recognition that this is needed to optimize revenue, parity, and opportunities for...

It seems just like base pay + performance bonuses to me, and I have no issue with it. Same way CBK gets paid.

Cal’s posters on their forum referring to Atlanta as “Bear Territory” are just doing what fans do on their forum. No surprise there, and as insults go, it’s pretty lame. The billboard thanks us and states We’ll Make You Proud”. What exactly is the issue here?

Georgia scheduled UMass the game before us. I'd call that a gimme. As usual, we (our schedulers, whoever they are) don't seem to place much value on having a cupcake before COFH. On the other hand, Georgia plays on 6 days rest, we have 8. Edit: Posted this before I saw @apatriot1776's post.

Probably, but we have no way to know with certainty. Something "clicked" for Butker his senior year. Year Class G XPM XPA XP% FGM FGA FG% Pts 2013 FR 13 53 54 98.1 10 14 71.4 83 2014 SO 14 65 66 98.5 11 18 61.1 98 2015 JR 12 44 44 100 7 11 63.6 65 2016 SR 13 46 46 100 15 17 88.2 91...

Getting more off-topic here, but I give AB credit for starting the AU franchise and getting the Falcons away from the awful Smith family. He's also invested heavily in Atlanta in general (attractions, charities, etc). However, as owner, it would be fair to say he is ultimately accountable for...

It's subjective, but it is nice to see Miami way down the list.

I am encouraged by Batt’s efforts to expand our donor base, but I think it’s likely that the 80/20 rule still applies. If our small group of mega-donors had undue influence over the GTAA, perhaps now we have a large group of mega-donors, such that any single individual’s influence is more diluted.

You may want to leave the BIG out of your argument, since the year before last, the matchup at Aviva was Northwestern vs Nebraska. 2027 opponents are Pitt vs. Wisconsin. Not sure why I am making this point since facts don't seem to be pertinent to this discussion.

Got to be the failure of ACC leadership to create a positive working environment for the schools to hire the right coaches. ;)

I remember that play. The rain got so bad it was hard to see the field from the upper east. We were down a score and really needed a third down stop. Attouchu (sp?) was a beast. CPJ had some good players on defense even after the 2007 class moved on - just not enough of them.

This is encouraging for our future. J. Batt doing what he was hired to do. From the link: "...nearly 90% came in the form of non-seat related gifts, including more than 20 gifts of $1 million or more." This compares to $22M total the prior year, which itself was a relatively good year...

I'm confused. Which is it, teams making bad decisions, or leadership at the conference level? Or both?

Trends in total yards by year can certainly indicate program improvement (or lack of). And I agree with your conclusions in general. However, comparing total yards between different programs can lead to misleading conclusions due to large differences in SoS. GT typically has one of the...

Somehow, I missed this rule change which just passed a few weeks ago. You can view it in a couple of different ways. It could help schools that have been playing by the rules to catch up to those that weren’t. More parity! Schools with deep pockets can now have unlimited on-field coaches. The...
