[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 892861, member: 4572"] We would risk spreading our already very thin resources even thinner, with no guarantee of better results. I believe there are plenty of athletes within driving distance of ATL with high academic aspirations who would want to come to GT. There are also plenty who probably don’t care at all about the academic prestige but just want the opportunity to play. All of that to say there is plenty of available talent for GT to take without having to go on a nationwide search for a few athletes who fit into a “mold.” It’s possible to get talent here, Collins has done it, but his miserable on field results have made it impossible to sustain. We could absolutely reach into different parts of the country and grab kids who want the GT degree. A lot of GT’s best athletes have been from New York, California, Texas, New Jersey, and all over the place. But if your sole recruiting focus is on a nationwide search and you strike out on your top prospects, then you put yourself in a much worse position. And as I said before, there are a lot of schools with much better football status who can compete with, and in some cases have higher status degrees than what GT can offer. [/QUOTE]
