[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 595130, member: 198"] I would agree with this. Tech is a different kind of school than most D1 schools. I don't think anyone debates this. I think the argument comes when people use that difference as an excuse for not recruiting well or playing at the highest level or when we get overlooked by guys we want. That being said, academically, I'd compare us to Cal Poly, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, University of Chicago, Colorado School of Mines, etc. Tech, historically, has had too small an alumni base to support the arms race. That's why Dodd got out. Tech doesn't have 15,000 graduates a year swelling the alumni ranks, they get about 3-4,000 now, and too large a percentage of those have 0% interest in GTAA. So, financially, we'll always be behind the eight ball. Academics will always be a way to negatively recruit us. But, we have shown we can compete at the highest level, and I expect us to. There's nothing elitist about this. It's a different kind of school; not for everyone. Unfortunately, we have a higher percentage of non-interested students, so, adapt and overcome this. Finding solutions for the hard problems is what we are about. yea, rah, rah! [/QUOTE]
