[QUOTE="Techster, post: 977653, member: 360"] I think you made the right decision in choosing GT. Dodd, and from your testament, GT honored all sports scholarships for SAs until they "got out". However, my point has always been, there's more than one way to skin a potato. Dodd wanted to skin it his way, and wanted everyone else to follow suit...or GT would leave. As I pointed out in my post above, Dodd could have easily worked within the system that was veering towards the 140 rule anyhow given the support with the SEC and across the country. He chose the "my way, or the highway" approach and no one was hurt except GT. Schools across the country eventually voted on a rule like the one Dodd wanted. Also to your point, the landscape of college sports is a constantly shifting one. It was true back in Dodd's days, and it's true now. Dodd was impatient, while others weathered the storm of changes. IMO, that impatience was to GT's detriment. [/QUOTE]
