[QUOTE="Eastman, post: 256604, member: 1390"] I am not a Tech graduate so take this for what it's worth. In my opinion there are many significant factors that impact recruiting and Tech is on the wrong side of many of them. Tech's entrance requirements eliminate a number of recruits. Tech's limited number of majors eliminates a number of recruits.. The knowledge that completing a major at Tech requires a lot of hard work on top of the extensive commitment college athletics require, eliminates a lot of recruits. Typically few of their friends will attend Tech, which reduces its desirability. The fact that Tech does not nearly have the biggest following in its own state, loses 3 of 4 to the instate rival that 3/4 of their classmates cheer for and has to compete with numerous other storied football teams within a few hours drive from their campus, eliminates even more recruits. Looked at another way, what would happen if the mutts greatly increased their entrance requirements , eliminated many of the degrees that their athletes choose and over the last 10 years had lost three out of every four games against Tech? Would their recruiting suffer? Would they be less competitive recruiting against the Vols,, Clemson etc etc etc? But what about the storied Tech degree? If Tech happens to have your major, it certainly has value. Of course many recruits aren't sure what they want to major in. I know many of you guys are very proud of your Tech degree and you should be, but I think it's value in recruiting to the typical high school recruit is often overestimated. Recruits know tons of successful people who are not Tech graduates. even though I grew up loving Tech, had I been a four or five star athlete , I may have attended another school (and I am a Math major). I would love it if Tech could regularly have top 20 recruiting classes on a limited budget, with limited majorskeeping rigorous academic standards etc but I just can't see it happening without significant changes, but maybe I would see it differently if only I had a Tech degree ;) [/QUOTE]
