[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 256557, member: 2957"] I have to reiterate, it's not the Administration. Tech has 400 athletes out of a population of 15,000 undergrads. Yes, it's important ... but from the Hill's perspective, it is doing ok. The team is winning, it's contributing (profitable), and it's FBS. All good. But from what I can tell, the Hill suggests programs and it's up to the individual units (e.g., schools, departments) to make plans, organize fund-raising, etc. My own school at Tech did that and it's now the number 2 program in the country. It was the dedication of the school managers, not the Hill, that made it happen. I think the same is true for GTAA. There is (or was) no plan for developing the GTAA. If you read the strategic plan, it calls for "plans to be made" in support of competing in the ACC. Get that ... plans for how to compete STILL have to be made. Which means no one has done it. Now that's where the Hill can help. Hold people accountable. The last AD worth a darn at Tech was Homer Rice. What can Todd do? Gin up fund-raising, organize a booster program to get more alumni donations in on a regular basis, and implement a plan to restore GT to competitiveness. I think we can do it. But it takes a LOT OF PASSION to do something like this and our last AD's just haven't had it. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
