[QUOTE="Techster, post: 977658, member: 360"] Sorry, but that's just trying to soften a very bad decision. The fact is, Dodd and GT's hubris that we were the "Notre Dame of the South" was a component of GT leaving the SEC. Once Dodd and GT realized that wasn't true, and GT was losing money and support, we tried to go "home" again. Our experiment to be an Independent (like Notre Dame) was a disaster that almost destroyed our athletic program. The ACC was founded in 1953 (GT joined in 1979, 6 years after we tried to rejoin the SEC), we could have easily joined at any time instead of returning to the SEC. There were other conferences as well. If Dodd's principles took GT out of the SEC, why return when you knew what was waiting there? The 140 Rule actually became more stringent over the years, and it was adopted across the country by every school. [/QUOTE]
