[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 873162, member: 2957"] I think you are correct, but ... I think Tech administration is fine with the level of support that GT athletics receive. They breakeven on athletics (more or less), have some modest success, and can stay focused on academics. I don't think that will ever change. The message you get from Vanderbilt is that they make it very clear, they don't care about athletics. Sure, they will do well in baseball or golf, but no one in Nashville is going to lose any sleep if the football team goes 3-9 and only beats Gardner-Webb, Alcorn State and South Alabama. Tech *talks* like they care, but this exchange from Moneyball rings more true every day: Schott: "[I]Bill, we are small market team and you are a small market GM. I'm asking you to be ok NOT spending money that I don't have. And I'm asking you take a deep breath, shake off the loss, and get back in a room with your guys and figure out how to find replacements for the guys we lost with the money we do have."[/I] That is where we are.
