[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 881813, member: 1682"] "Techster", said:The one thing I fear is the SEC trying to play "defense" and inviting GT back to the fold. IMO, GT's brightest future is with the B1G given their emphasis on education, and they actually try to keep a competitive balance among their schools. SEC looks to be heading for a wild wild west situation in the near future, and there's a LOT of BIG egos with 'Bama/UGA/Tenn/Texas/OU/UF/etc. GT does not want to contend with that. My fear is GT and the "old guard" will want to renew old rivalries with SEC schools and want to stay "local"...which is what got us in this mess when we turned down the B1G the first time. Techster: I don't think that is as strong as it used to be, I'm a GT/SEC time period grad and that has changed with me in the last 10 years or so, not sure what has changed it with me exactly, but it has changed, plus many of those people have died and the rest are really old, I'm 87.
