Not sure how the GTAA would track this; perhaps you have some ideas. I had some season ticket-holder “neighbors” that were unable to attend several games and sold their tickets on the secondary market. One time they asked me if there had been rival fans in their seats. I confirmed that there...

Link to source please? I only found this on ESPN: https://www.espn.com/college-football/fpi/_/group/1 predicting 4.5-7.5 wins. Although not expecting ESPN to be consistent across their predictions.

Also Louisville at 2nd in the ACC over Clemson doesn't seem right. I'd be interested in seeing if anyone has this kind of TV ratings data from another source, as a cross-check.

I'm genuinely curious to know if Key's and Stoudamire's recent contracts have offset clauses. I sure hope so. Interestingly, Pastner's last extension had terms favorable to GT with reduced payouts for remaining years as well as an offset clause for future employment. So Stansbury either...

The point I was attempting to convey was in response to your comments about tampering, and in particular the timing of the NCAA's rule changes. While I agree the most recent rule change limiting some transfers may slow tampering down a bit, I found it frustrating that the previous rule change...

What frustrates me about this situation is that, seemingly in response to NIL changing the entire landscape of football, the NCAA removed one of the few tools it had to discourage tampering. An analogy would be if, during the recent spate of wildfires in California, the state decided to...

Let me see if I got this right… NCAA makes rule restricting transfers. People complain it’s too strict. NCAA amends rule to allow exceptions. People complain it’s too arbitrary. NCAA eliminates rule. People complain it’s the Wild West. NCAA amends rule to make it more strict.

Yeah, granting the Fields waiver, which was ostensibly granted due to racial slurs (not playing time, wink-wink) certainly undermined the 100-mile concept as well as the entire waiver process. But that doesn't mean that there could not have been a fairly enforced rule and waiver process. I...

This. And the eligibility rule is not likely to come back in any form that requires a waiver process, for the same reason.

If this is true it must be devastating to the young man. The same thing (season-ending injury in camp) happened his freshman year.

Thanks for your insightful response. I was thinking that the transfer rule was conceptually no different than a non-compete clause, but the similarity is somewhat broken by the employee vs S-A comparison. In terms of the example you gave, couldn't a hardship waiver apply for such instances...

In my opinion his GT tenure sort of poisons his resume for any future head coach position. I can see him getting a coordinator position since he has respectable stints in previous stops. One thing is certain, the college coaching community is relatively small and interconnected; it will take a...

A few comments in response to various posters… First – Mods, should we merge this thread with the one I started a few months ago? I’m ok with keeping it separate but it seems we are rehashing a lot of the same discussion that took place as recently as last month in another thread...

The fourth change is controversial and may not get adopted. In any case, it has a nuance that isn't obvious unless you read the article carefully. The clock would actually still be stopped on an incomplete pass. The change is that the clock starts again when the ball is spotted ready for...

As FYI, our “crappy product” won 4 of the last 5 regular season games vs FSU. They’ve won the last two ACC Championship games we’ve played. Any deal can be renegotiated before it naturally expires, but for that to happen, one of the parties needs leverage. If FSU thinks that their leverage is...

I think @iceeater1969 has a good idea. Some folks would complain about the fees even if they were cut in half. For reference, Tech charges $127 per semester for athletics. For reference, Georgia State fees are $ 181 per semester. Bumping the fees and having giveaways seems like an easy way to...

Very timely article, given this discussion. It says the funding is coming from GT Foundation private bonds.

I can't speak for the AL schools, but this is a myth for GA state colleges. Based on applicant admission %, Tech is much more selective for out of state. See @ChiTownGT's post above.

Anyone know where this puts us on scholarship count?

Yeah, joke of an article. I could have done better picking 6 teams at random. The author is a product of the NC university system, wonder if that had any influence on his #1 pick...
