[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 95835, member: 231"] I have never emailed anyone at Tech. I am sure I could figure out how but if you have done so then feel free to send the ideas along. I am not proprietary about ideas to help improve the bottom line for the GTAA. I am sure that any number of variables on my ideas could be constructed as well. I will flesh out the case at the school I have the most intimate knowledge of, Emory. It draws a huge amount of northern students who get there and live on or very close to campus for their entire stay. Again, Emory has no football team of its own at any collegiate level and all those Yankees at Emory may have allegiances to professional football teams like the Giants or Pats but will be an [I]untapped resource [/I]for college football teams. Also, they think of themselves as attending an Ivy League school but just down in the south. Finally, there is a pretty active Greek life at Emory so the sister and brother fraternities and sororities at Tech should reach out to invite the Emory students over for tailgates and football games on fall Saturdays. Emory has a beautiful little campus but it is rather nestled in the surrounding upscale neighborhoods and so can be kind of isolated for the northern kids who attend it and are living in the dorms as 18-20 year olds with no cars (you don't own a car as a teenager growing up in NYC area) and being underage means it is harder to find entertainment. So Tech's AA and Greek Life should arrange for shuttle buses to get those cooped up Emory kids (they come [I]from money[/I], btw) over for the college football Saturday game-day experience. They would love it! Many of these students become doctors and lawyers and even stay in Atlanta so they are a huge potential resource for the GTAA specifically because of the academic prestige of Tech and the fact that Emory has no football program and so does not offer a fall Saturday "college" experience that Tech can offer. Tech historically has maintained ties academically to Emory as a sister "elite" academic school only on the liberal arts flipside of the coin to Tech's science, technology, and engineering focus. The GTAA can really push that academic angle to form connections to the Emory students and get them over to experience all the pageantry that occurs at a college with big-time football. [/QUOTE]
