[QUOTE="TheSilasSonRising, post: 236968, member: 926"] My point is this. If we start winning as we should, not 7-5 or 8-4, then the Tech folks will come. But my understanding is that if ALL GT alum, who care about sports, in driving distance bought tickets we still would not sell out. IDK. We have got to expand that base. People want to spend their money to go to a football game for the fun, escape, excitement, and seeing a team beat good opponents. They do not give a tinkers damn that one day of the week about math & science. For 50 years we have talked, talked, talked about putting a "Tech Man" in charge for no solid reason other than where they went to school. It has turned away so many potential customers on so many levels IMO. Can a Tech grad do the job? Of course if all criteria are met. But we have all seen what has happened when we hired the guy with the GT connection. And we have all seen what has happened when we hired Rice, Cremins, Ross, O'Leary and others. Just saying there are things we can do to expand the base. [/QUOTE]
