[QUOTE="JDjacket, post: 251195, member: 1091"] I know its been brought up in various threads from time to time, but I'm curious as a world renowned engineering and research institute what are we doing to advance any of our sports programs using analytics. [URL]http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/17677192/college-football-analytics-revolution-just-beginning[/URL] This article also touches on the increasing size of staff to handle some of this, so I know we may not be able to increase the staff handling it, but I would hope we could be designing and running programs to do some of this. The IE department or whatever has those professors who built some computer program to predict the NCAA Tournament. I'm not saying we should be the best at doing this, but we should at least be up there. As most people say the school sometimes doesn't want to put as much money into building a sports program at an academic school, but it's a win-win for both. Introducing engineering into sports (granted just from common sense most of us can make the connection where it already is a huge part of sports) could open up a door for new majors without branching away from our engineering pedigree. It's frustrating because there's so much untapped potential that I sometimes feel the school is afraid of embracing. [/QUOTE]
