[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 683968, member: 265"] Bingo. Sorry, [I][B]BINGO!! [/B][/I]Tech doesn't hire presidents because they are good for sports programs. Shoot, for that matter, nobody does. There are places (Bammer, for instance) where any incoming president had better be a sports supporter, but Tech is more like other places: you hire a president for what he can do for the school. That means hiring good faculty, drumming up research and construction dollars, keeping peace within the community, staying on the good side of the relevant government, and making nice to the press. College sports is a sideline to keep a subset of the alums happy and not much else. [/QUOTE]
