[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 977593, member: 1640"] I hear people on this site say all the time it was a bad decision. Bad or not, it was a principled decision. The current college football landscape today presents us with an almost identical choice. Do we hold out for the notion of true student athletes or do we go the semi-pro route? The SEC, beginning with Bama back in Dodd’s day, has continuously moved in a direction that is totally incompatible with Tech’s values. I’m OK if people want to argue that Tech should have changed its values back in Dodd’s day, or that we should change our values today. I would strongly disagree but at least that would recognize what we’re talking about here. Joining the B1G would not have compromised our values, so that decision might be the worst one. [/QUOTE]
