[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 506361, member: 1776"] We are in the best conference for us by far. No other conference comes close to making as much sense. Geographically only 2 conferences fit - SEC or ACC Academically only 2 conferences fit - ACC or Big 10 School size wise - only one conference fits - ACC Recruiting restriction wise - only two conference fit - ACC and Big 10 in the SEC GT is nothing more than Vandy 2. SEC has no need for GT as it already has plenty of presence in the ATL market. The schools around us would be opposed to GT being in the SEC as it negatively affects their recruiting. The Big 10 and Big 12 are simply too far distance wise. Academically only the Big 10 comes anywhere close to matching the academic credentials (and how that affects who you recruit). Big 12 and SEC combined have 1 school as highly regarded as GT academically - Vandy. School size. Both the SEC and Big 10 (as well as most of the Big 12) are made up of large state universities with undergraduate sizes often twice that undergraduate size of GT. Vandy and NW are the 2 obvious exceptions. ACC is filled mostly with teams that don't just take any athlete that can qualify (there are a couple who do), the SEC schools largely outside of Vandy will take anything that can walk and breath. Big 10 with the exception of OSU is similar. Fans my not like it but the ACC is easily the best fit for GT. And people need to stop crying over getting screwed by the conference. GT didn't get screwed by the ACC. if GT wins one more game it ends up in a tier 1 bowl. Bowls (with the approval of the conferences, not just the ACC) have alot of leeway in picking who plays in their bowls. The bowls pick who they believe is in their best interest - it has almost nothing to do with how you did in your conference. It has to do with how many people they think will come to their local city and spend money there. Changing conferences is not going to make GT a better football program and more than likely would make it a worse football program. [/QUOTE]
