[QUOTE="Techster, post: 919440, member: 360"] I think once the HFC hiring is completed, Batt and Cabrera are going to do some MAJOR house cleaning/restructuring inside the GTAA. It sounds like the GTAA is going to look and operate differently in a couple of years. Look towards 'Bama's "professional" model for reference...but with a GT spin. If anyone hasn't noticed, Cabrera has a very business centric approach to everything...and that has been sorely lacking in GTAA's old buddy system of operations. Naturally, those that feel threatened by this coming sea change are making the biggest waves. Cabrera is serious about fixing the GTAA and making it operate like a successful machine. He's serious about his vision for the GTAA, and when Batt interviewed his answers were almost exactly what Cabrera was thinking for his vision of the GTAA. If you heard Cabrera talk during the AD search, he pretty much communicated that the GTAA is the poorest performing unit of the school...and he was serious about changing that. Look at his background. Cabrera is no stranger to building highly successful units within an organization. Much like Batt, Cabrera has a history of raising funds and finding money...large sums of it. He's adamant about getting away from the donor model of raising capital...and the HFC search is a good example of why he wants to get away from it, and mostly, it's just not sustainable for long term success of any organization, especially one with a small alumni base like GT. I have zero clue what Batt and Cabrera have in store over the next few years, but I'm very positive about the outcome. If anyone hasn't noticed yet, GTAA is in the midst of turning away from an old era and trying to transition to a new era. It won't be an easy process as GTAA and certain groups have become too set in their ways. There will be some donors who feel alienated, but I think once everyone sees the final product GT will have gained multiple times what we lost. Batt and Cabrera certainly have their work cut out for them as the dysfunction and old boys club way of doing things runs deep. I think those that are fighting this will deeply regret it in the next few years. [/QUOTE]
