[QUOTE="bigrabbit, post: 1006740, member: 6023"] I agree although I’m a nerd with degrees from 3 nerd schools. My kid’s friends at Uga all applied to GT, all would have gone to GT, none got in. So my sense is that serious student types who share our values aren’t driving this, it’s the goofball sec alums I see at my golf club. They went to Uga when it was mostly a joke - some are born again about academics, but most would rather win at football. What will change that? I suppose there is some price tag even they won’t swallow. Part of this is also the nature of GT…conservative, engineering easily gets you to $100-200k/yr, but the people writing 7 figure checks are business owners, entrepreneurs, senior corporate execs (politicians). We have those but nerds aren’t necessarily big risk takers or politician/sales types. I keep wondering about the next Gen donor because even though I’m pretty flush, I’m old enough to not see another big exit coming. I don’t think I can outlive my money but want to make sure I can help my family. A 40 year old multi-millionaire sees millions more in their future and can write big checks. How many of those do we have who care about football? [/QUOTE]
