[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 255031, member: 2957"] The overall direction of major college sports is to a consolidated few. Estimates are that only about 100 colleges can survive with FBS football because of the always escalating costs. Tech aims to stay part of that hundred. In the last few days, I've been perusing the various financial reports of other schools. Tech is not hopelessly out of step. Our spend is good (or at least comparable), but here are the YUGE gaps ... Recruiting ... we spend about $1.3MM a year on recruiting which is not enough. I would suggest doubling this, but want to compare to other ACC schools first Lack of a booster organization ... FSU, believe it or not, runs a very comparable program to ours. Except ... a) significantly more ticket revenue and b) $40MM coming in each year from the boosters. Tech has no booster organization. Lack of a long-term plan ... Tech is JUST NOW setting a vision of what "delivering progress" looks like. Can you believe they have no objectives for the GTAA at this level of competition? There is a lot of discussion of doing the right things, but the problem is there are metrics and no specifics on what that is. So "success" is so vaguely defined as to be irrelevant. I like the idea of a Top 25 program while achieving a GSR rate of X and/or finishing first or second in the conference. That makes it clear. To everyone. [/QUOTE]
