[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 252772, member: 2426"] One other thing I would like to try to clarify. My opposition to installing majors solely for football is not based on a feeling of superiority. It is just a strong belief that the school should operate as a school, period. SAs have been ridiculed many places, including this forum for complaining that they are working as slaves or as indentured servants. The general belief is that they are provided free educations that set them up for success in life and they should be happy. Well, the fake degrees at UNC provided absolutely nothing for their athletes. They basically received room and board, which some would argue is enough. However, if they had been free to market their potential, they might have been able to receive large salaries. In the current system, they are explicitly prevented from doing that. I am convinced that many NCAA programs have degrees and classes that are just as worthless as the one that UNC was caught for. If GT adds majors for the express purpose of getting SAs who cannot succeed at GT now, will those SAs have the same potential as the SAs who get in now? I believe the coaches taught a 40 year plan to prospective SAs now. Should the future be to taught a 4 year plan, and then hope to play professional ball? Not every GT SA will graduate, just as not every GT student will graduate. At the moment however, they have the support and potential to be successful. Chase Roberts was injured and didn't compete on the field for long, but watch his address to the donors. I have pride in the character of our SAs. I want the GT system to be set up to develop young SAs in sports and for life. I want to win football games, but I would rather lose than bring in ringers to use for four years and then spit out like trash. [/QUOTE]
