[QUOTE="bigrabbit, post: 860322, member: 6023"] I think Bama has benefited, better students, money for academic facilities, research activities. I looked up Tuscaloosa research $$ about ten years ago and it was a laughable, maybe $30M, way less than UAB (med school). They’re up to $171m now, weak but not a complete joke. GT otoh is driven by engineering research funding - that is what attracts and keeps faculty, keeps the engineering rank where it is. GT worries about losing rock star faculty to Duke, Carnegie Mellon, MIT etc (schools with little or no football). Having an elite engineering school spills over to the rest of GT in terms of national academic footprint. To me, football is important at GT for student life, some fun to balance out nerd life. Unfortunately our students don’t care so much. My kids are maybe typical - both like sports but both passed over honors college at schools with good football teams to go to GT and Johns Hopkins. Those of you with h.s. kids know how hard it is to get into GT now. We have the smartest kids of any state university (according to a Duke study). Different universe from Bama. [/QUOTE]
