[QUOTE="SidewalkJacket, post: 42439, member: 546"] I thought the article was really interesting. I also think it was like any other sensational piece of writing. The more nefarious, the better. So, while I totally believe that everything mentioned in the article truly happens, I don't know just how organized and institutionalized it all is. Some of the article has that "secret society running the whole world" feel to it that people love from movies and TV. From my experience with college coaches as personal friends, there's a lot of hard work and uncertainty in every recruiting cycle. And though I'm not naïve enough to think this stuff has never happened at GT, I think we as Tech fans can sleep pretty soundly at night, knowing we aren't caught up in this charade. Some of that is due to GT's nature as an academic institution, and some of it is due to the type of H.S. kids we are in the game for. Overall, it just makes me more disillusioned than I already am about "college" athletics. I've recently converted to the "minor league for NFL and NBA" mindset, and DIII-model for college sports (no scholly, just make the team and get through school like everybody else). Might not be as fun to watch at first, but eventually it would be all we knew. [/QUOTE]
