[QUOTE="Techster, post: 949968, member: 360"] That's why the ultimate decision is up to the B1G university presidents and NOT fans. B1G is looking to the next 25-50+ years, not what's going to happen the next season. GT has a good football history. No, we're not UGA/'Bama/Ohio State/Clemson recently, but our body of work is consistent winning seasons with a special season every 4-5 years. If you put GT's winning percentage the 30 or so years up against all teams currently in the B1G and SEC, I'd be shocked if GT wasn't in the top half of both leagues. Let's not forget, 'Bama was struggling before Saban. Ohio State wasn't the juggernaut it is now before it hired Urban Meyer. Michigan was struggling before Harbaugh, and even a little bit with Harbaugh. Clemson'ing for a reason. UGA was a good program, but not an elite program before Smart. Take sports out of it, and GT is EXACTLY what the B1G is looking for. A potentially HUGE growth market for the B1G, and an elite academic institution that shares the same DNA as their current members. Personally, I think Key will get us to at minimum 6-8 wins every season. If you're not impressed with what he did last season, then you should really study corporate takeovers and see how hard it is to come in after someone is fired and turn the ship around. Key had to do it in an abbreviated amount of time. If Key gets us that 6-8 win season with the GT special season every 4-5 years of the next 5-10 years, NO ONE will question why the B1G is taking GT.
