[QUOTE="Animal02, post: 359724, member: 347"] Nice logical post. There will always be a pendulum team or two riding the wave of popularity, Currently it is Alabama and Clemson, in the past it was FSU, Miami, Nebraska, U Mich, Ohio State. It is natural for kids that want the fast ride to the NFL to gravitate to those "hot" teams for the exposure. People have short memories.......remember VT and their NC aspirations just a few short years ago? Outside of 2015 (when we still beat FSU) Tech has been on the good side of the bell curve of college football. Most schools would love to have our record combined with our academic reputation. When you have season ticket holders stating that they will sell their seats to UGAG fans because, God forbid, we hung with but lost to a highly ranked team by two touchdowns, there is no way that Tech will fill a stadium consistently enough to support the higher expenditures. Tech will never be a consistent contender for the NC. It will be when the stars align, but not year in and year out. As with basketball.....how many top athletes coming out of HS are willing to ride the bench waiting for their turn while putting up with the academics when their counterparts are taking non existent classes up the road? Football and basketball are GAMES. For a select few it becomes a paycheck in the end. Until the mindset changes that every kid entering D1 has a great shot at the paycheck, Tech will continue to have the same issues. For those that think Tech should and or will water down its academics for the sake of Football or basketball.......go cheer for the team an hour down the road. [/QUOTE]
