[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 864745, member: 198"] I'm not sure what you're really trying to argue here. To say we are limited because of our majors is a cop-out, in my opinion. Every school has things that they're negatively recruited with. We need to stop using it as a crutch for why we can't get the top recruits. We have programs we can sell to kids. We have to control the narrative and battle the negative recruiting. If kids want to go play at going to college, they'll never last at Tech. That's important for EVERY recruit to understand upfront. If they want to be a serious student, they can make it through Tech. Personally, I'd love to see us expand our degree options. I'd like to add a College of Education, a law school, a med school. There's no good reason we don't have those programs (there is a reason, but it's not a good one). At the very least, I'd like to see a Physical Education-related degree that focuses on areas like kinesiology, coaching, health education, athletic training, sports management. These could very easily fit within our charter from the USG. We shouldn't let any of this be an "excuse" as to why we can't have nice things. I've heard too many former players state that Tech's limited curriculum and level of difficulty hinders Tech significantly is bunk. It does happen occasionally when some kid wants a specific degree program that we don't have, but it's rare enough as to not be relevant. [/QUOTE]
