[QUOTE="Ramblnwrek, post: 1011168, member: 1227"] In the same vein, though specifically toward Tech. I would say Tech Students/Alumni have trended away from football fans. Losing seasons has had an affect on that. Tech has been attracting the best/smarter academic student over the years. Evidence by the higher average SAT score. The average Tech student is more of a 'nerd.' Nerds tend to not be football fans. Sure, you can say the NFL has a wide fan base, but college needs it's fans to spend on the specific sports. Bottom line, this is a wholistic problem, If Tech wants more money, it needs Football fans. And (outside of winning) they need football student fans, who start to love the team. They need to recruit current students to games and recruit future students to be fans. Sucks being on the other side of the fence, but that is where we are at. Especially if we are comparing ourselves to SEC and B1G. [/QUOTE]
