[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 947606, member: 1682"] This is just me, but for all the doubters whether GT ends up in a power conference, it's real simple to me. The Big wants to be the National Conference in CFB, they want media mkts and they require AAU membership. IMO the BIG will come down the eastern US with acquisitions of schools, and they definitely want in FL (loaded with people from the BIG 10 states) it is apparent to me they will want the 7th biggest media mkt in the country. They have stated media mkts are important to them. GT is AAU, sits in the heart of 7th largest media mkt, our Pres has made a commitment to GT FB winning at the highest level. There is presently not another school that fits what they want in Georgia, I don't think they want to skip over Georgia, not to say they won't, but I'm expecting us to do what needs to be done to make them not want to skip over Georgia. Commitment from our Pres, and hiring of a really good fund raiser as AD was a necessary beginning and shows our commitment. Now we have to raise some $ it appears, get out of the GOR or the ACC and that is the "granddaddy" problem now and also for all the other schools the Big 10 wants coming down the east coast. Will it get solved? It has to somehow or there are some really big athletic programs that will become irrelevant in the future. I just think that is not going to happen, way too much money involved. There are 7 schools that are together on this, do they stick together going fwd, don't know but I think there is the eighth school that could join them in either GT or possibly ND. I imagine both ND and GT would have to have an invite in hand (might be silent) in order to join the seven. It would definitely help if we can get our FB program winning and successful again, but I do not believe this is a necessity. CFB is very fan emotional and I find so many look at it through those emotional eyes, but conference realignment is 100% about business and it better be at the decision level. [/QUOTE]
