[QUOTE="smathis30, post: 285053, member: 1803"] I've never liked these kind of topics, but I really really think people overestimate how much "the hill" impact athletics. Engineering schools tend to be in cities and also tend to be smaller due to size constraints. This means other schools that have the room to add land and buildings and dorms tend to be larger in alumni base. Larger alumni bases means more exposure and better branding. Heck, can you go through any power 5 state and find a single predominately engineering school that is the biggest brand in the state or extremely successful? Oregon state? NC state? Illinois is big but ain't very successful. Texas Tech? Purdue? Lol. Michigan is the only one that is close to qualifying for this, but they are the bigger school. The only thing that can change is alumni donations, where tech ranks 7th in the public ACC schools. The next time you hear someone blame the hill, just simply ask "how will Tech do this? Where will the money score from? What space will be needed? Do we need to convert green space? How do we conserve the green space on campus? [/QUOTE]
