[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 475879, member: 2957"] Looking solely at GT or Clemson may be too small a data set to conclude anything. I refer you to Harvard Business School Assistant Professor of Marketing, Doug Chung who has studied it and whose findings include: [LIST] [*]When a school rises from mediocre to great on the gridiron, applications increase by 18.7 percent. [*]To attain similar effects, a school has to either lower tuition by 3.8 percent or increase the quality of its education by recruiting higher-quality faculty, who are paid 5 percent more than their average peers in the academic labor market. [*]Students with lower-than-average SAT scores tended to have a stronger preference for schools known for athletic success, while students with higher SAT scores preferred institutions with greater academic quality. Also, students with lower academic prowess valued the success of intercollegiate athletics for longer periods of time than the high SAT achievers. [*]Even students with high SAT scores are significantly affected by athletic success—one of the biggest surprises from the research, Chung says. [*]Schools become more academically selective with athletic success. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
