[QUOTE="Randy Carson, post: 969533, member: 766"] I was REALLY hoping for a better season than we are going to have this year, and I fear we may be facing an existential threat due to what I believe is the inevitable demise of the ACC. GOR be damned; simply looking at a map and the current conference alignments suggests that the ACC will be a mere shadow of its former self soon (if not already). From what we've put on the field this season, it's obvious that the quality of our program is not going to attract any buyers. Our ONLY real selling point is the fact that we're in Atlanta - a huge TV market which would have given the B1G a foot-hold in the heart of SEC country. The SEC has nothing comparable in the B1G's footprint, so this would have been a coup in the superconference power struggle. We've been over this [I]ad infinitum, ad nauseum.[/I] A bowl game [B]this season[/B] would have made us even more attractive to the Big 10. It would have demonstrated that we can pull our own weight, so to speak. Unfortunately, that's not likely to happen, and I'm concerned that our program may continue to flounder making it difficult for the Big 10 to extend an offer to Tech. EVER. And without a massive boost in revenue, NIL money and recruiting cachet, Tech will struggle to compete for talent. It's a death spiral. In closing, I don't pin this on CBK or any of the current staff and players, etc. I think the state of the program was far worse than any - well, most - of us realized. [/QUOTE]
