[QUOTE="ESPNjacket, post: 587240, member: 2775"] The biggest challenge for GT sports is financial. It cannot be starved to success. Other programs have different challenges (poor to middling academic reputation, remote location, lack of historical success). GT doesn't have those problems. My GT years were when the shaft was in full force. I understand GT alumni above, say , 40 years old have an in-grained attitude that the stick is to be used many times when a carrot would work better. The best way to support a program is through season tickets. It not only helps fund the program, it provides stable income. One last thing to note, when there is a coaching change anywhere in college basketball, take a look at the articles written about that change by good sports writers. Note that when they list the advantages of a job they will say something about a rabid fan base or large home crowds or plenty of resources (again, season ticket holders drive much of that). They NEVER will say that coaches are interested in this job because the empty seats offer an opportunity to improve. As Matt Guitar Murphy's wife in the Blues Brothers once said, "You better think about the consequences of your actions!" [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkvxpMdUwAAJP_9.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
