[QUOTE="Techster, post: 320298, member: 360"] This. CPJ is VERY active and supportive in getting our SAs opportunities in their chosen profession, or professional experience. He highly encourages internships durings the summer, and even has professional events targeted for his players. I believe he's done this since he's gotten to GT. Our coaches care about what happens AFTER they've completed their eligibility, not just when they're playing for them. That's not lip service, that's our coaches acting like caring father figures. You know who's dropping the ball? GT sports information department. We've got guys doing investment banking internships, engineering internships, doing sports radio...you name it, I"m sure there's a player getting experience in it. Sure, we hear about it in the local press, but our SID needs to push it on a national level like Clemson and Cal are doing. This is one of the things that bothers me about GT. We are reactive instead of being proactive. You know who was the original "smart school" that was having success? US...Georgia Tech. We've been a good program that recruits top level SAs since the 1990's, but GT never pushed it and marketed it like Stanford and Duke have been. They've turned it into a brand for their program whereas we let that ship sail without getting credit for how much success we've had on and off the field. Hopefully Stansbury will help us turn the corner with the national press. [/QUOTE]
