[QUOTE="Foxyg, post: 76730, member: 1508"] From what I gather through 4th hand sources, CPJ has been a little disappointed with the academic restrictions placed on him from a recruiting standpoint. I don't know what was promised to him when he took the job in that regard, but the impression I got was that he felt like he'd been sort of sold a bill of goods in that regard. All of this is totally 4th hand, but I can see his frustration. Simply put, we have a 7-5 team because that's what we as fans put into it through donations and because of the inability of the athletic association to get many concessions from the hill. At georgia southern, they really, really want to be good and they don't really accept excuses. They have easier academics, but I'll be honest with you, I'm a Tech alum who lives in Statesboro and they have a collective purpose that we are sorely lacking. They have a president who believes that part of being a big time school is having a big time football program and he's doing everything in his power to give the football program everything it needs to succeed. I know it's sort of an apples and oranges comparison, but I don't really think we can say the same thing. [/QUOTE]
