[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 202803, member: 630"] Absolutely. This is why the problems start at the top--and yes, we have problems. Again, they start at the top. And the top is not the coaches. Homer Rice retired leaving money in the bank. Homer was a fund raiser, which is job one for an AD. Clough, who supposedly used to be a Tech man, hired his buddy Braine from VT, who sat on his fat butt in his palatial office, wasted money, and did not do fund meaningful raising. Clough and Braine started the downfall of the GTAA. I can tell stories about both fund raising miracles by Homer and money waste by Braine. Radakovich would have been OK as an AD if he had come in after Homer, and not Braine. He was primarily a financial guy--which is different from a fund raiser--and I believe he was frustrated by what he inherited, so he left. Maybe Bobinski is a better fund raiser with the big money guys than I believe he is. Maybe. If Bobinski exists, and I have no direct evidence that he does, he alienated a 30 year AT contributor--me-- by being non-responsive to the only inquiry I made to him. I am not a big money contributor, but what I used to contribute adds up over 30 years. GT's number one need is to have a GTAA Board that is dominated by business savvy alumni and friends rather than academic types. Compare the makeup of UGa's board to GT's. The number 2 need is to hire an AD who is a fund raiser. The rest of the issues--like a 3-9 season and mediocre basketball--pale in comparison. [/QUOTE]
