[QUOTE="MacDaddy2, post: 1004138, member: 927"] Actually not upset about spending, just how to spend it. Based on the way things look today, we will have a brand new shiny building [B]and[/B] the continued mountain of debt that we have had since the Drad building program. That debt will continue to choke GT and If you couple that with being in a less than elite conference (which is the way it is looking) the debt mountain will never go away and we will be stuck in a state of perpetual poverty. The G5 conferences draw around $7M or so per year (not each, but per conference) where today the ACC schools draw about $17M each. That is about a $16M or so reduction in annual revenue for GT and will, truly, cripple the program to the point where some sports will be completely eliminated. I urge everyone to remove their gold colored glasses are realize that it appears we are on the outside looking in. The media market argument will not carry water as the revenue model for "cable" is going to continue to change due to cord cutting. Listen closely to what you hear in the media. Do you hear GT's name mentioned early in the list of conference expansion? Nope. The train is heading down the tracks and barring a miracle we are going to be left at the station. For this 41 year season ticket holder and Jack Thompson Society member, it's sad to see my Alma mater potentially become irrelevant in football. if you are interested in a neutral opinion of the ACC please listen to Columbus Georgia's own Josh Pate aka Late Kick Josh. One last thing to think about, recruits ask three main questions: How much NIL can you give me, how much playing time will I see and how much NIL money can you give me. The conversation has changed men, the conversation has changed. [/QUOTE]
