[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 906171, member: 2957"] Lots of comments on this thread. In no particular order, [LIST] [*][B]Deion Sanders.[/B] Deion is not coming to Tech. First, he's coaching to make an impact at HBCU's and that's not Tech. Second, he's probably a bit too much flash for a school that isn't flashy. Third, he's had health problems and lost some toes and has trouble standing. Can you get around that? Yes. But it's a demanding job and will be even more demanding at a P5 school.

There's not enough volume to amortize an upfront cash payment, which is why Tech gets free merchandise in lieu of cash.
