[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 88447, member: 322"] I agree with the inference you ([USER=955]@BigDaddyBuzz[/USER] ) have made that Peterson doesn't care much about football. But the example of the schedule is likely something which is far out of our control. Glad to see you are sending out e-mails to Peterson though, maybe I'm wrong (it happens too much). Basically, we are GT and our reputation and net worth is not enhanced (in their view) by athletics. Other things like research grant money and academic ranking among peers is far more important. But rather than rant, here are my old thoughts: I'm thinking about going to the Homecoming ALumni gathering again, but only iff I think I can stomach it.

But we should emphasize football more from the Hill. It won't happen IMHO since Peterson's career is dependent on not offending the Board of Regents which is run by UGAg grads or sympathizers. He has lower risk and higher gain things to work on. Just politics. [/QUOTE]
