[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 884710, member: 4334"] I have never suggested Collins is the reason for our attendance decline. We all know why our attendance has declined over the years. GT does not care about their fanbase. To say the few GT fans that remain GT fans are “fair weather” is just a bad take. The few of us who actually remain should be lauded not ostracized. The fan base is a function of what the school compels. GT is reaping decades of their policies of becoming an international school and training students who leave this country and this state to go elsewhere and never return. So for every kid GT rejects from Thomasville/Albany/Macon while giving that seat to a kid from Ohio or Bangladesh you are creating what we now see in our fanbase. We all have friends who went to GT from a state like Ohio who were Buckeye fans prior to their attendance and Buckeye fans after their attendance. They are good people and root for GT as their secondary team but 4 years isn’t gonna change a lifetime of upbringing. That’s why when I see 3rd generation smart kids who get deferred at GT I want to lose my mind because for a lot of families who count on Hope/Zell the alternative is that other school who just gained an entire family of fans for the next 70 years. And it still goes back to my point that GT is not a poor school. If GT wanted to actually compete there is enough money to do it all. GT is just run by people who do not care and are only looking out for themselves and thus do not want to solve the athletics problem. I can promise you that if our Engineering department fell 50 spots in the rankings that something would be done about it. [/QUOTE]
