[QUOTE="Techster, post: 420725, member: 360"] One of the things I really wish GT would do more is promote the entreprenuerial and innovative culture that GT students have embraced. For crying out loud, we have one of the best business incubators in the country, and the largest in the Southeast sitting on campus, Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC). For all intents and purposes, Atlanta is the Silicon Valley of the South.

A large part of Durant's attraction to Golden State was his ability to access Silicon Valley for business opportunities. Very few schools can offer this to SAs. I would LOVE to see GT get "nerdy" and sell SAs on the fact they can play top tier football AND be a Mark Zuckerberg/Elon Musk/Evan Spiegal. GT athletics, not just GT the school, needs to really sell the young GT students who are creating their own companies and are leveraging innovation to create opportunities.
