[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 280707, member: 435"] To be honest, you are the first person I have come across who didn't understand the distinction I am trying to make. Of course, Tech is a "university" according to the accepted definition. But when it comes to recruiting, virtually everyone differentiates Tech from liberal arts schools by referring to them as "universities" and to Tech as an "institute." To do so may not be correct according to the definition of the word, but it still conveys the distinction between schools like Stanford, Northwestern, even Georgia and Tech. I really think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. After all, we are talking about ease of recruiting for athletics here, so why bother to say or type "liberal arts colleges," when you can say or type "university," and virtually everyone knows what you mean. When you get right down to it, all universities are institutes as well, but nobody refers to liberal arts colleges, even those with engineering schools, as institutes. People would consider you crazy if you referred to Stanford as Stanford Institute, and people consider you crazy if you refer to Tech as Ga Tech University. It's really no BFD, but you seem to have let it become one. [/QUOTE]
