[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 465691, member: 944"] We aren't that from each other on this more generalized topic. My argument is pretty simple...the academic advisors and players at GT are a self-selected group....they don't include the majority of players who ruled out GT because of its limited majors and tightly focused curriculum. I am arguing that the limitations in our curriculum, are restricting the number of athletes who are interested in coming to GT. You seem to be arguing that they have a ton of support once they get to GT and that they are plenty of 'exceptions' in the academic world of GT to help them get through school. I don't argue with what you are saying (my daughter was in class with and often on project teams with football players just 3 years ago, I know the realities). So, we seem to be making entirely different points. [I]The support system that exists at GT to help athletes does NOT offset the fact that so many athletes don't consider us in the first place because of the limited number of majors. [/I] Academics are not, however, the sole reason athletes select schools, any more than available females or the size of the stadium or the geography of the school is...there are multiple determining factors. On that, we agree. And, in point of fact, I strongly suspect our recruiting is probably about where you show us...mired in the middle or slightly lower in the league. The difference in recruiting rankings between the #7 team in the ACC and the #13 team in the ACC is probably razor thin if you look at it in detail. But there is an enormous difference between us and the top 20 schools in the country. We are likely somewhere in the #30-#60 range each year, and our results tend to show that. This year would appear to show us in a downward trajectory, hence the collective desire for change. [/QUOTE]
