[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 812847, member: 1191"] The four recruiting classes before Dabo took over were ranked 17, 16, 16, and 12 by Rivals. Dabo took a program that was recruiting extremely well and made it even better. We will be another 3-4 years of recruiting at the current level before we approach where Clemson started under Dabo. As much as GT fans hate to admit it, the Clemson turnaround is also because their AD committed to spending money to hire and retain some of the best assistants in the NCAA. Clemson spends in the top 10 in football spending. We'd have to generate an additional $20 million (yearly) today just to catch up with Clemson. Even with the extra revenue, we have to find a way to close that gap. An extra $20 mil from a conference change is going to each school, so using it to lure coaches means we are still trying to outbid schools with more money than us. That isn't going to change any time soon. As you said, we would be unwise not to do whatever it takes to make sure we are included in any upcoming changes. The problem is we don't bring any leverage to the table other than association with the ACC and an historic rivalry with uga. The ATL tv market belongs as much to the SEC as it does to GT. We've got to fix that issue fast... [/QUOTE]
