[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 976982, member: 1640"] And this is why I became a Tech fan. This is a difficult fork in the road and I have conflicting feelings about it. Where I live now every small business, every flag outside of a restaurant, every waitress wearing a sports shirt, and virtually every decal on every car, has the color red and some reference to canines. It’s automatic and it’s assumed everyone supports this state school. What bothers me is they know literally nothing about academic progress, processing players, lowered academic standards, players that don’t go to class or get fake grades, low graduation rates, and a host of other things that make a mockery of higher education. What’s worse, they wouldn’t care if they did know. To them, Ga Tech is just a punching bag that they can laugh at. Any achievements outside of sports are of no interest. I don’t mind Tech having some disadvantages due to academic standards. But the direction things are going is more like spotting your opponent 4 touchdowns before you even kick off. I have no solutions. Just sadness. [/QUOTE]
