[QUOTE="bigrabbit, post: 861028, member: 6023"] What Bama has done is at a minimum offer any reasonably strong student in-state tuition, plus often additional scholarships. I mean students from probably anywhere, but definitely from the Atlanta area (I know this first hand from my kids’ friends). It’s a reasonable alternative to uga level students who want to go somewhere else. GT is no where near that desperate for good students. Any of you with kids applying to GT these days knows this. A friend of one of my kids made 800 on his math SAT and was rejected by GT. GT applications are highly self selective - not everyone wants to go to a math intensive school. In spite of that, the last acceptance rate I saw was 18%. The GT admissions profile is closer to Duke than Bama. If football and academics correlated, applications to schools like GT and Duke would be dropping rather than going up. However, GT is among a fairly small group of nerd schools endeavoring to compete in the world of semi pro college football and I agree it’s important for student life. Not important enough to convince top students to turn down schools like GT to go to Tuscaloosa. I’m watching my kids and their friends, big sports fans, picking top schools with crap football.
