[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 309672, member: 2426"] I agree that the email made no sense. If it is about branding, it would be ludicrous to try to develop new supporters, but at the same time alienate the current supporters who donate more money than all but two public universities. I would argue against the last paragraph. The Alumni Association being a volunteer support organization should support and not debate the school. However, if the school wants continued support, they should be able to explain and motivate. If there are more than enough applicants, I see no justification in telling people not to get people in their local area excited about GT. If the yield is too high, then they should accept fewer students and increase the level of the entire student body, not stop people from convincing accepted students to attend. An alumnus can disagree with the school and the Alumni Association, it happens all of the time. However, the school and the Alumni Association should be able to explain their methods and reasons without turning the BS meter to 9. I like what he has done so far also. I thought this speech was extremely good. Unlike some on here, apparently, I believe that doing the right things for the student athletes will make the school, the athletic association, and the athletes much better in the long run. I also believe that it can, will, and has translated to very good results on the field. When those good seasons are the result of high character players doing the right things and being treated fairly by the coaches, athletic association, and school, it makes the results much more emotional to me.
