[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 924126, member: 2332"] Came across [URL='https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MiUOwx8X3H2bSkUOz8a1YhceyJWLLCoJ/view']this study[/URL] that analyzed the size of the fanbase for all FBS teams. Lots of interesting data. Some really interesting takeaways that either support or refute some narratives. GT is 8th in the ACC+ND in fanbase at 1.28 million. 39th in the nation. We're the third highest in fans relative to our undergrad population, by their estimate, right behind Miami. (I question this, personally.) GT is also highly ranked for 'potential fans'. Though this is based on geography. No surprise, the top 16 teams - the usual suspects (and somehow, Syracuse?) are on a different plane of existence. SEC and B1G are different animals. The ACC needs to find a way to get ND inside the house. My takeaway is that GT is in a better position than I would've guessed. I believe we have a lot of opportunities to expand our footprint if the Institute, alumni and GTAA will engage and invest. In a potential mega conference realignment, Tech is in decent position. Some marginal gains and we could be in a really great position. [/QUOTE]
