[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 463519, member: 4015"] Why do you think they changed the name to Virginia Institute of Technology and State University? It wasn't to enhance the curriculum or the academic prestige of the university. It was done to enable the athletic department to find majors to hide budding scholars like Michael Vick. At one time both Virginia Tech (known for many years as VPI or Virginia Polytechnic Institute) and Auburn (known back in my father's time as Alabama Polytechnic Institute) were geared to engineering, agriculture, veterinary and sciences. They saw the error of their ways and became universities which conveniently enabled both of them to recruit just about anyone who could spell their name unassisted. [/QUOTE]
