[QUOTE="Techster, post: 141074, member: 360"] I'm going to make an unpopular (or popular depending on POV) analogy here: All these contract buyouts that GT is going through, and asking donors/fans for help getting the administration out of a jam they created is starting to remind me of the financial crises and the bank bailouts of 2008. At some point it starts getting old, and the adminstration can't continue to keep asking the fans (the public) to bail them out of bad decisions. We've got some REALLY generous donors (Think McCamish, and Brock Indoor facilities), and some really successful Alumni that care about the program and probably won't bat an eye if the administration comes knocking with the hat turned upside down. You got to think even those guys have a hard time swallowing an almost eight figure buyout for 2 coaches. Would I donate something if it meant getting the bball program closer to where it deserves to be? Probably, and it's because 1. a GT degree has opened doors and given me opportunities that I wouldn't have had I went to some other schools. 2. I want to see my school do well. Will I give them a lot of money? Probably not as much as I would have the first time...they just haven't proven that they're diligent in their decisions. [/QUOTE]
