[QUOTE="Tommy_Taylor_1972, post: 977699, member: 6776"] Measures of respect exist in the college athletics world for Georgia Tech and her coaches and administrators, both awards representing scholarship, leadership, and integrity. That is the Tech culture I remember and despite all the clutter, it still exists today There is the annual Dodd Trophy: The Dodd Trophy was established in 1976 to honor the FBS football coach whose program represents three pillars of success: Scholarship, Leadership and Integrity. The award honors the coach of a team with a successful season on the field and equally as important, stresses the importance of academic excellence and desire to give back to the community. The First recipient was Vince Dooley. There is the annual Homer Rice Award: Presented to FBS Directors of Athletics. The Homer Rice Award is presented annually to an FBS Director of Athletics. Criteria for the The recipient: Must have served as a Director of Athletics for at least 10 years; Must have made significant and meaningful contributions to intercollegiate athletics; Must have been retired from an FBS Athletics Director’s position for at least one year. It began in 1989, with awardees such as Vince Dooley, AD's from around the country including the service academies, AD's and conference commissioners from Big 10, Big 12, ACC, and three AD's who were also Executive Directors of the NCAA.
