[QUOTE="TheJuiceIsLoose, post: 772691, member: 5460"] Small enrollment doesn't impact ND, BTW in the Deep South , especially Metro Atlanta, there are people that love CFB all around, they just don't love GT's brand of CFB, mainly due to our smug elitist Fanbase that looks down their noses at others for some reason or another We created our own Money issues, the Big10 wanted us over Maryland, but we ONCE AGAIN made the wrong decision and now we get only $27Million in TV Money while Maryland is now getting full shares from the Big10 - $55Million per yr, roughly double what we get from the crappy ACC We leave the SEC over bullcrap "Academic Elitism" and now 40+ years later we get half as much in TV Money by turning down the Big10, neither of those 2 major screwups have anything to do with a small enrollment, or international students After the State of GA was the 2nd Deep South State to Vote in a Lottery that funded PreK & Head-Start Programs for students, in addition to more Technology in K-12 Education - these Programs have a ripple down effect that positively impacts the Quality of HS Grads in your State So after those above changes were adapted Statewide, what did GT do just a decade or so later? Ans: they (The GTAA) VOLUNTARILY chose to go with a gimmicky Triple Option HC that ran an Offense that was clearly undesirable to Elite Recruits in the State of GA, this move made GT FB undesirable to the Top100 FB Recruits in GA, of those Top One Hundred - 70 to 80 are Academic Qualifiers for FB schollys at GT - so instead of GT FB cashing in on the increased numbers of Top100 Academic Qualifiers in- State, we went in the wrong direction with the Triple Option and made Recruiting easier for Stanford, Michigan, Notre Dame, Boston College, Duke, UVa , et al In summary, the underlying theme that so many GT Fans miss is this: It isn't the outside factors ( BOR, bagmen at other schools, The Hill, Fans, etc) [I]The thing(s) that have constantly set GT FB back and prevented us from Maximizing whatever you think we are as a FB Program is that EVERY SINGLE TIME GT FB has faced a critical "fork in the Road decision", we have made the worst possible decision[/I] We left the SEC We turned down the Big10 invite We hired a Triple Option HC that was also too stubborn to adapt AT ALL GT FB has been like a bad NFL Franchise, with a bad GM that should've been fired 5 years ago, but the Owner won't let him go & allows him to keep screwing up the Draft every yr [I]The Fans are that Owner, we set the Standard[/I] The GT Fans thought it was "cute" to run the Triple Option for 11 years, [I]"the hell with what some entitled HS thug thinks about our Offense, we're GT, this is how we do things take it or leave it"[/I] But during that same 11 yr period, a guy like Saban went from ball control & Defense to sling it all over the yard, DESPITE having Championship success, one Guy changes & evolves while winning Championships , but the Guy we hire refuses to change & evolve while the Talent on the Roster wanes each yr GT FB had the opportunity to take advantage of the increase in Academic Qualifiers in a State with Top4 HS FB Talent, but we voluntarily made the decision to bring in a HC that Elite Academic Qualifiers were allergic to, and then we do the "GT Thing" and start blaming Academics, The Media, The NCAA, everyone but ourselves and our own poorly thought out decisions We have enough majors to have better talent on the Roster than we have, the previous HC failed at 80% of his Job Description and was widely loved & adored by the Fanbase, that right there should tell you where the Problems lie -why would any CFB Fanbase love a HC that's a terrible Recruiter? IMGO GT's Fans are why we have the FB Program that we have [/QUOTE]
