[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 28046, member: 932"] Yeah, but here's the deal...as important as football and basketball are to myself, our school, and our fans, the integrity of the institute is MUCH more important. Being a public institution, you cannot offer degrees in which only athletes can major...so if you offer these lesser degrees, they have to be opened up to all students at the school, which in turn devalues a degree from Georgia Tech. I don't know about you, but I'm very proud of earning a degree (two, in fact) from the Institute, and I would hate to see its standing in the workplace devalued by something like this. If the NCAA chooses to lift the requirement for athletes to be full-time students, I think you'll see the power in college football shift away from schools that offer these sorts of programs. If that happens, then all of this is a moot point...but until then, I'd very much like to maintain our standing as a world class university. [/QUOTE]
