[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 289412, member: 1640"] I would simply add that the five years I lived in Massachusetts I was practically awestruck at how good the public schools were compared to the school systems I encountered in the south. There are probably several factors that contribute to this that one would have to break down in terms of social / economic strata and such, but the point I would make is pretty basic. A high percentage of kids from Massachusetts could definitely get into and finish at Tech. However, this is not a hot bed for high school football players. And therein is the challenge for Tech. If Tech were located in another part of the country, where it could cherry pick the best academic candidates and best football players, it might be different. Some will disagree with me but I contend that if Tech were in California or in the Midwest, threading the recruiting needle between athletics and academics would not be quite as hard. [/QUOTE]
