[QUOTE="dtm1997, post: 141865, member: 572"] I can't disagree with you that we don't have the cash on hand. The financial statements of the GTAA & GT Foundation would prove me wrong every time. That said, MBob is hanging his hat on that evidence and leaving out the part whether he had authorization to use those funds for the purpose of a buyout. It's the classic case of not saying more than you have to, only everybody knows they weren't letting him use cash on hand to fund a buyout. He had to go out hat in hand and he failed, probably due to the poor negotiation of the buyout provisions in BG's extension. Based on his comments to the press, I believe there's a high degree of spin control and it's not entirely truthful. There's a difference between making the financial decision to continue investing in GT hoops season tickets and supporting our student-athletes. Support is defined in many different ways and, generally speaking, I believe fans will root for the student-athletes to succeed on the court & off of it. It doesn't mean they have to provide financial support, which, unless tickets & refreshments are free, this constitutes or the investment of precious time. I don't personally agree with this approach, because in college athletics, you sometimes need to throw more money at a problem for it to go away, but I certainly understand each person making an individual decision. I don't think post count is the relevant factor in declaring your commentary more or less valid. What I do think is relevant is that you haven't been particularly involved with this forum's hoops discussion and the first time you're chiming in on the discussion in a big way, your statement is to start lambasting people with derogatory terms instead of presenting a cogent, respectful argument for why they're statements are wrong. Nobody knows who you are or why we should consider your point of view and you charge in disrespectfully. That's what will render your comments invalid and quite frankly closer to being out of compliance with the rules set forth by the site's owners than anything (i.e. - not saying you made a personal attack, but I'd suggest you be mindful of it happening). I'd like to welcome you, as well as anyone & everyone, that wants to have a conversation about Georgia Tech hoops. The dedicated hoops forum here is something that makes the conversation strong here. Things get heated on a message board in our disagreements. I get that. That doesn't mean anyone should be launching derogatory remarks. [/QUOTE]
