[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 429011, member: 2426"] Another thing about this thread. I read the AJC story. I don't see many threads on GTSwarm that are "about" how hard it is to complete a degree at GT. I see posts inside other threads such as recruiting that discuss it, but that isn't the focus of the thread. In this story, I didn't get the impression that TStan is asking alumni not to use that phrase. Even if he were asking us to, the majority of alumni don't buy season tickets and don't donate to the athletic department, so I don't know how many would even listen. I didn't understand from the article if the discussion is about recruits reaction to "got out" or if it is about the way the athletic department presents the academic plan to recruits for how they will be able to get their degree. There definitely is the implication that recruits ask the recruiters about the phrase, but there aren't any examples even with no names of that happening. The article does have a general description of the athletic department's way of discussing academics with recruits. I seriously doubt that any of the recruits get bombarded with academic horror stories from GT alumni. They probably do get bombarded with academic horror stories from opposing teams recruiters. However, the only reason there is a thread dedicated to this subject is because there was an AJC article about it. If the point of the article was to dampen such discussion, it failed miserably.
