[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 815834, member: 2957"] I’m not sure money is the long-term problem. It is necessary of course, but what concerns me are the changing demographics. 33% of Tech’s enrollment are Asian and International. Of the remainder, sixty percent of those are from GA and 60% of those are men. If we assume HALF of those are interested in athletics, that’s fewer than 2,000 adds per year which probably doesn’t even replace the death rate. Another way to look at this is Greek Life. 26% of undergrads are Greek Or about 3500. Say 25% a year replacement rate. That’s slightly less than 900 a year. Assume 60% stay in GA and 70% of those are guys. Half of those are athletic minded. That’s < 200 a year. So create a boundary condition where the replacement rate varies between 200 and 2000. Call it 1100. THAT’S a problem. This is why media rights are so important. Tech, like many, benefits from peddling content. [/QUOTE]
