[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 593887, member: 2332"] Sounds like we all agree that what Tech needs most is more money for athletics. From what I've seen the past 7 months. Tech has an AD and a HC for Football that get it. I've been asked more for money/donations/support the first 6 months of this year than the past 6 years combined (at least it feels like it). Personally, I'm giving what I can. Change takes time, but I think the ship is turning in the right direction. The new President of the Institute, a lot has been speculated if he's a athletics guy or not... well I think it's TStan and CGC's job to sell him on the value of athletics. [U]To me, that is what Stanford understands that Tech doesn't.[/U] That excellence- as an institution, as a community, for individual students, isn't measured by a single attribute. Test scores, grades, academic rankings are great. But Tech should strive to be ELITE and competitive in every phase of intra-University competition. That, every time Calvin Johnson was on TV with Georgia Tech under his name that was free national TV advertising. Before some know-it-all comments that the Pres. can't do anything because the BOR sets the contribution % Tech can make to athletics and the GTAA sinks or swims on its own financially: I do know that.
