[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 935342, member: 4334"] My point for starting the ”admissions” topic was simple - when GT pisses off its fans and alums who then stop giving it makes no matter who the AD is. JBatt as the new AD needs to understand that there is a fundamental flaw at GT that makes his job of raising money very very hard. I’m in rural south Georgia and I know several well off families who are done with GT because of the admissions game. And not only are they done with GT they are now sending money to UGA because that’s where their grand kids and kids went after GT ”offered” them the portal. I’m not whining about average or above average kids. I’m talking about kids who grew up in GT families, busted it hard academically to get into GT like mom and dad, did everything right and then they get shafted while kids with much lower everything get in due to “fill in the blank, my APS example”. I don’t blame these families at all for stopping donations and updating wills. JBatt should be aware of why the phone doesn’t get answered and checks stop coming. There are reasons. One of my son‘s roommates in NAV comes from Michigan and wears Michigan gear every day, his family are huge supporters of Michigan financially and this kid, who will graduate from GT, will also be a huge Michigan financial supporter because that’s how he was raised. He’s a good kid, but I look at him and wonder why a GT family isn’t in that spot instead. And repeat that scene all over campus. Heck, for the first time in my life I saw 2 kids walking around campus with UGA sweatshirts this past weekend while stopping by for a meal. My son just laughed and says that’s not uncommon. And we wonder why alum don’t donate to JBatt. It’s only going to get worse. [/QUOTE]
