[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 875328, member: 4110"] Well, if we want to get creative, a common strategy for small businesses to compete with big businesses is for the small businesses to merge with each other. For instance: As I understand it, the GTAA is it's own financial entity and is therefore distinct from the coffers of the Institute proper. I'm not sure how the facilities are handled, whether the GTAA leases land from the Institute or how that is handled. What if the GTAA were to merge athletic departments with say, GASt and Emory forming a consortium representing Atlanta, where athletes could attend, under athletic scholarship provided by the AA to any of the three schools, thus expanding the curriculum available to athletes without compromising the academic mission of any of the schools individually. The new athletic administration would raise funds from the alumni of all three schools and the sports teams would represent all three schools. Of course, if the board of regents would have to give approval, then it would never happen in GA, but I am not sure, if nothing is changed from the academic side of the change, that the BOR would have a say. But this would be a way for a school like GT to stay competitive in the Power 5 without having to compromise her academic principles. But, it would take a mover and a shaker to coordinate such an endeavor. [/QUOTE]
