[QUOTE="Techster, post: 933830, member: 360"] I'm not sure what you're asking that you didn't answer yourself in your questions. The college sports landscape now is what it is. NIL, skyrocketing coaching salaries, transfer portal, etc. Does that put GT at a disadvantage? Yes, but now it's up to find a way to neutralize those disadvantages. In terms of money, GT had a gift handed to us in the form of B1G membership almost 15 years ago, but we turned it down. When the Grant of Rights expires, and if GT gets passed over by the B1G that go around, that will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in GT sports history....along with leaving the SEC. In terms of "adjustment" from a fan's perspective, and this is aimed more towards the older group of our fanbase, we need to understand that the NCAA is now just a dog and pony show...gone are the days of the romantic notion of "amateur student athletes". The sooner we grasp the concept that SAs now want monetary compensation in the form of "NIL", the less we'll be disappointed. SAs getting paid is the new reality. Either accept it, or move on to following High School sports or your kid's pound ball team. Otherwise, we're just setting ourselves up for disappointment. You're preaching to the choir when it comes to "running the same stuff and going after the same coaches". I've said since I've been part of this board that GT is a school that requires a "schematic advantage" or development advantage type staff. We just fired a coach that wanted to do things like everyone else, and it will go down as one of the biggest hiring blunders in GT history. [/QUOTE]
