[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 995451, member: 6771"] Sometimes you do have to exaggerate to make a point. Sometimes exaggeration obscures a point. Both are the case with the SECheat. They have been overstating things for 40 years, at least. Here’s my take, FWIW, on Tech leaving the SECheat back in 1964. People read today’s exaggerated view of the SECheat back into that fateful 1964 decision all the time. The truth, IMPO, is the SECheat isn’t all that now, and sure wasn’t all that in 1964. It was a backwoods southern conference dominated by a small handful of large, segregated southern schools. Tech was playing northern, midwestern, and west coast schools and was not bound by that identity. The first black QB at a major southern university played at Tech and she graduates more African American engineers than any other school now. Yes, the ACC has always been ruled by the NC Mafia, so it has its shortcomings, but it has always mentioned education and sports in the same sentence. That is something that the SECheat has consistently mocked over the years… but you don’t hear that in those exaggerated claims. [/QUOTE]
