[QUOTE="WreckedbyWhiskey, post: 279343, member: 2566"] It may help marginally in recruiting but probably won't move the needle. What the SEC has that the ACC doesn't is "culture". Top recruits and even the people that attend both ACC and SEC games are aware of that. I'm not mad at the SEC for getting all the attention, they know how to promote and market their brand...one could question the integrity or character of the brand but the simple fact is, they really understand their consumer and what they want. More specifically, we (GT) have to build a culture of winning and to do that, we have to show a full commitment to our football program and that has to start at the top. Clemson did a fantastic job by getting their administration's full support for the football program and the results are clear. I don't have all the facts but it seems to me that the football program doesn't get the attention that's required to be the program we "say" we want to be. I think part of the issue is that we don't have a clear vision of the type of program we want to be. Do we want to contend for the playoffs each year? Do we just want an appearance in the ACC championship every other year? Do we even want a National Championship? The real question is, are we willing to do what we need to do for a National Championship?? All in all, any attention for the ACC is good attention at this point (from a football perspective) so the Clemson win is a good thing but there's so much more that we have to do as a program to fully leverage the benefits of a strong ACC.
