[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 693632, member: 4572"] Of course more money is preferable. But having more money doesn’t automatically create a better program. Isn’t the whole point of this thread comparing the ACC to the SEC? Georgia Tech is in the middle of both of those conferences, and has remained basically irrelevant in the eyes of both for a few decades. So you want to leave the only area in the country where GT has any notoriety and go play teams where most fans probably couldn’t tell you that GT is the Yellow Jackets, or what city GT is in. Football would get a boost in conference perception, but if we aren’t winning the division it really doesn’t matter. Because of the B1G’s 9 game conference schedule, at lease one if not both of the Georgia and Clemson games would be dropped. Those are automatic sellouts, and provide just as much national recognition as OSU and Michigan while improving local perception. Also, road games in October and November become much tougher because of weather factors. Basketball is basically a lateral move, but lose home games against teams like Duke, UNC, Louisville who fill McCamish. The travel schedule would almost definitely affect baseball and basketball, because the closest B1G school is 10 hours away in Maryland. Those long trips take a toll on bodies, especially with GT’s class schedule. Speaking of baseball, they would be taking a [I]huge [/I]backwards step. Baseball is the only sport of the big 3 that has competed on a national level since the 2014 Orange Bowl. They’re also the only team who consistently recruits in the top 25. Who knows how recruiting would change with this big of a geographical shift. [/QUOTE]
