Agree, think you covered most of it, seems like we brought some in earlier to help set our culture and something we had attracted them also. Do think our staff is very culture conscience all the time which I really like that we do that. Seems CBK is flexible on things he can be flexible on and a...

Because they're great players has very little to do as to whether they would be good coaches and recruiters. Dealing with an entirely different set of aptitudes. I'm guessing the Crawford hire had most to do with recruiting ability. I'm guessing this won't be the last loss to UGA. When they...

Seems like I remember CBK saying something to the nature of making GT a place for young and upcoming coaches to come for the chance to advance their careers to higher levels, so in my opinion this is good for future hires, just glad that CBK seems to be able to determine good potential coaching...

The two things I remember being talked about here. 1. Collins first spring game he came out on first play lined up in CPJ's TO formation. 2. I don't remember CBK saying that GT was easier to recruit than "bama" but did hear him say he had more to sell at GT when recruiting. Certainly I could...

Don't really know but those 3 being brought in seemed more about politics and future voting, at least to me it seemed that way. If CBK and company bring GT back into the CFB picture again I've always thought we could carry our weight very well. The tough part is now while we're getting...

Any of the big tv drawers leave the ACC, ESPN is going to take their out that is available to them. They're not going to keep a bad income deal if they do not have to. That is just common sense business on their part. My biggest hope is that the SEC and Big ten commissioners in their...

Do coaches need to be at schools that will survive the consolidation in CFB?

If I were Buster with his coaching ability and what I think this staff and program will do over the next couple years, I would not move until offered the top job at a really good program/school. I'm guessing that is what he will do and the same for Santucci if he shows what I think he can show...

Thus the joint efforts of Emory and GT that started before GT became AAU had a lot to do with why GT finally became an AAU member IMO. Yet it does seem that the Big 10 schools receive on average more research dollars per institution than non Big 10 AAU institutions from what I have gotten from...

There seems to be more dollars to AAU schools that are in the Big10 than just AAU stand alone schools in talking with a couple other people that seem to have some knowledge of this. Certainly it is possible they and therefore myself are getting bad info.

If they're coveted by the TV money I agree with you. TV folks are absolutely driving this bus, that is where the biggest single source of $ comes from and probably even more so in the future. It's all about the money. If TV folks think UVA will bring them viewership that they can't do with out...

When you say multiple days I'm assuming you mean for both signing periods, right?

I've heard VT has a much bigger following in DC/Baltimore/N. VA metroplex than UVA. Seems UVA does not have a very big following and with MD already covering the metroplex it is not making a ton of sense to me that BIG takes UVA and VT is not AAU, I think VT ends up in SEC, that's new...

Seems like the early signing had more than one day to sign, is the same true for this signing day? Anyone know?

I thought ESPN had an out in 2027 if they decide to not exercise something or other, if that is true then the ACC's revenue does not appear to be locked in until 2036. Frankly I hope they don't exercise whatever it is that they need to do and let's get the inevitable over with, let CFB shake out...

Hope you can pause it, I'm a CFB fan only. Don't like paying for stuff I don't use.

Could it even include schools like AL, Auburn, maybe not immediately but in a few years, they're rural schools in rural mkts? I definitely think Miss St., Ole Miss, Ark., maybe KY, UT knox., Neb. I see schools like Kansas possibly making it, that's Kansas City, a good sports metro area it seems...

I could see VT and NC ST being desirable to SEC, that is new money (new territory) maybe even more so than Clemson. SEC doesn't gain any money by taking Clemson, they're already represented in that state and area. I'm convinced Miami, GT, UNC end up in Big 10. I'm not as sold on UVA in BIG as...

Everyone is focused on the big 2 and the money at that level and I understand that, but I see it different for GT and some of the other schools. They are focused on the money also but a different source of money. Those are the schools that believe they could end up in the Big10, schools that are...

I don't think it is just the demographics, think it is also coming down to what is the usefulness, but academia is never going to acknowledge this I'm guessing, or maybe they don't really know since they live somewhat in a non reality bubble IMO. My conversations with them over the years tells...
