[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 884083, member: 844"] I appreciate your perspective but could not disagree more. These are symptoms. The root cause is higher imo. The buck stops at the top. The school is interested in athletics but not commited to them. As a result, we have had a series of bad to mediocre AD's since Homer Rice. This isn't by coincidence (I don't believe). Athletics is very far down on the list of priorities of school leadership. Whether that is good or bad is open to debate. But I just spent some time on a backpacking trip with my brother who is a grad of OSU (Buckeyes). He is a casual fan but we were discussing this difference between the 2 schools. A president there understands that the success of the AA is part of the job and indifference or lack of involvement would be career suicide. FWIW, he is aware of the talk about possible future expansion candidates to the B10. Apparently, GT is considered by most fans up there as a reasonable and viable candidate despite our last 6-7 years of ineptitude. Most don't consider that (recent records) as a talking point when discussing the topic. FWIW. [/QUOTE]
