[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 812848, member: 3774"] I do think change is coming Techster, we don’t disagree on that. As for the schedule, we can’t know the schedule because we don’t know the entire group of members the conference would have that’s why I listed those we know will be in it. I know we won’t face every team that’s in the conference but we will face 8-10 of them and that was my point, there aren’t any pushovers in the current SEC and the only way there will be in the future is if they merged ALL of the ACC schools, so Tech is gonna play the power houses one way or another. I never said Texas or Oklahoma would join the the ACC but we know Texas and Oklahoma are headed to the SEC. I would love for Tech to reengage in the old Southern match ups, it would be wonderful. But you need to remember that when those match ups were taking place Tech was ALREADY a football powerhouse, unfortunately they aren’t anymore. You are most likely correct as to why they aren’t but my point is this ; No modern fan base is going to buy season tickets or a TV package for that matter to watch a team get beaten regularly. I would initially but after 3-4 seasons of 3-9 years and blow out losses to the teams who are powerhouse teams it will get old. Gate sales will decrease as well. Tech will have entered into the SEC for a share of the money and nothing more. I’m against that for exactly the reason you gave, Tech may increase revenue ( via SEC TV share ) but it isn’t going to catch up to Bama, Georgia, Florida or any other powerhouse by playing by their rules. I said that if Tech stays in the ACC it should only do so if the ACC can get ND OR if they miss ND and then aggressively go after the remaining Big 12 teams. The ACC and Tech can essentially stay competitive nationally if they have marketable teams. I think they need to lose Duke and Wake, IF they could replace them with Ok St, Texas Tech or even TCU that alone would be a marked improvement of and in competition. It would enable Tech to expand recruiting into Texas and the Central part of the country and Tech would only have to make minimal adjustments in its athletic budget. im not looking to join a conference that I’m behind in when you just said we won’t ever catch up. If your goal is just to make money then ok it works for that but you better get use to some very unproductive and uninspiring numbers out of the sports programs themselves. No way Tech competes in that conference with the current mindset it has administratively. [/QUOTE]
