[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 194834, member: 2175"] Restaurant chains spend millions of dollars in market studies every year with one goal in mind: where to place their next restaurant. Not only which town or state, but where in those towns exactly. The point being that unless one is willing to add the liberal arts program in all its manifestations -- Virginia, Stanford being wonderful examples, Georgia even -- to give recruits this huge selection of career paths and academic majors, it won't work at all. Add five? Six? What? Adding a Chinese restaurant won't get it if the partial answer is Texas Steakhouse, or Olive Garden, or whatever qualifies. GT is not going there, with or without the board of regents. And stop and think: assuming they suddenly agreed that by golly this was the way of the future -- though up in my part of the country, NC, they apparently have decided education pretty much is elitist and what kids really need to know is how to fix a fuel injector, whether they want to or not -- how long do you think it would take? Ten years? Twenty years? It would be a massive undertaking. I'd like to see Johnson with those recruits myself. He's just not going to get them at Tech. (And the current AD, Bobinski, sounded like the village idiot when upon being hired he said the academics should not affect recruiting. Sounded like a man just out from under a manhole cover or the Ivy League.) So, nail things back together, coach 'em up, and compete with the big boys with what he has. I haven't heard him complain.
