[QUOTE="BilldGopher, post: 881682, member: 4315"] Hello GT faithful. Thought about the ACC and you guys as this thing broke over the past few days. Here's a good Saturday Tradition article that sums up pretty well how we got here... [URL]https://saturdaytradition.com/big-ten-football/college-football-didnt-have-to-reach-this-point-but-here-we-are/[/URL] Pretty clear there will be a grand experiment long-term as to whether whatever replaces this "version" of structure of institutional and athletic participation in the collegiate game of football...that has been essentially stable for over 100 years...will actually get the clicks and eyeballs from the next two generations of fans to pay for all this. The trend away from butts in the seats as an economic factor is continuing to advance with actual attendance going by the wayside. As has been noted in earlier posts, Tech is an AAU institution that would fit well in the traditional vision of the B1G, which so far is still valuing AAU and $$$ new schools to the conference can bring. My own view is that having another AAU urban university, located in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area...also in the heart of the SEC...in the B1G would be a good thing. There's also a strong case for GT to be in the SEC too. Key is to have either the B1G or SEC Froggie come a courtin sooner than later for Tech...if that's part of the instutition's vision. Good luck in the fall. Billd. [/QUOTE]
