[QUOTE="Scubapro, post: 657174, member: 744"] It was discussed on another thread, but I think it deserves its own. One of the issues PJ mentioned on the PodCast was the underfunding of the GTAA. This can be fixed but not without some grass roots efforts. I understand the following assumptions: The athletic department is $200M in debt The Institute cannot provide more than 10% of the GTAA’s operating expenses Roll Call does not contribute any funds to athletics The Institute does not share donor information with the GTAA The Institute historically has not aided in GTAA fund raising efforts Each Football game and Basketball game is nothing more than a commercial for the school. The Institute benefits from this immensely, whether they believe it to be true. Should the GTAA be supported for this advertising? Yes. Is it? Minimally. They announced each class raising millions of dollars for Tech on the jumbotron during halftime of homecoming. How much of that went to Athletics? Zero. I find it curious for Roll Call not to contribute to the GTAA when nothing in its By-Laws prevents it from doing so. Also, look at the video on Roll Call’s website: [URL]https://www.gtalumni.org/s/1481/alumni/19/home.aspx?gid=21&pgid=61[/URL] How many of these clips are of sporting events? Does the Institute tell donors that their money will not be used to help athletics? Nope. Do they encourage /direct prospective donors to AT? Nope. Does Tech benefit from a successful Athletic Program? You bet it does. I would encourage each Tech fan to email and call the head of Roll Call, Dene Sheheane and President Angel Cabrer and let them know what a disservice it is to Georgia Tech not to find creative ways to fund athletics. Personally, I told Dene and emailed Carea informing them I would not donate a dime to the school until they found a way to support the GTAA [/QUOTE]
