[QUOTE="Techster, post: 881400, member: 360"] ...and THAT may be our saving grace in the eyes of the B1G. Atlanta is one of the biggest destinations for B1G alumni. Also, I strongly believe the B1G will want a Southern presence given college football and basketball are HUGE down here. It helps put a stake in the middle of SEC country and expands the B1G footprint in a new direction. Given that the South is attracting a LOT of the midwest population and a LOT of new companies, having a GT under the B1G banner in Atlanta could be VERY attractive...as well as our academic reputation and overall competitive history in sports. One thing to keep in mind, and I mentioned this earlier in another thread. Dan Radakovich was a BIG proponent of the B1G for GT. He's now at Miami. I don't think he left Clemson because he thought Clemson was on the decline or for $$$. Radakovich wants Miami in the B1G, and he may well have left Clemson knowing Miami fate with the B1G in the future. It's been rumored for years that B1G really wants all of UVA/UNC/GT. I think Miami would also be in the discussion, and give the B1G "South" natural regional rivalries for their "new" schools. If the chance comes again for GT, we have to take it. If we don't, well...
