[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 319996, member: 844"] the responses have a very similar feel to them....someone else receives positive publicity and we all talk about how much better we are at whatever thing is being discussed. What IF we had an athletic association with some marketing savvy* who could get out in front of these things such that GT would be mentioned in articles of this nature?. Where is the story most compelling and likely to have the most positive impact on potential SA's...on a website where GT alums gather to pound our chests about how great we are or on ESPN? We may well be ahead of Cal and/or Clemson in this type of thing, but if no one knows, is it helping us recruit? I know we have had interns but IS our efforts in this area greater than what is described in this article? I hope so, but it's pure speculation on my part. Sometimes it seems the schools we sort of make fun of have way more business savvy than the people at Tech. Bottom line...let's not blame writers for failing to do research. Let's do the research and get it to the writers. Makes their job easier (they are sportswriters after all) and we control the story. *disclaimer: post based on historical data. Hoping Todd can make a difference going forward. [/QUOTE]
