[QUOTE="Techster, post: 896730, member: 360"] Why is winning important? Why does it matter that GT find the right person for coach our flagship programs (football and basketball)? [MEDIA=twitter]1573354487351214081[/MEDIA] At a school like GT, we are going to get some of the best minds in the country and in the world wanting to attend Ma Tech regardless what our sports programs do, but one thing that a winning program can do at GT is get more students interested in our sports programs who then one day become alumni that fill up our stadium, donate to our athletic fund, become mega donors, etc. I think that's a component our admissions office overlooks...and it's probably because it's not a data point they look at when deciding on applicants. IMO, maybe our athletic department needs to start lobbying for future students who are deeply into sports. Not at the expense of someone who's better qualified for GT, but if two applicants have the same qualifications, GT should give some weight to the student who's into sports and wants to support our sports programs.
