[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 827342, member: 789"] GT can be dominant & we can maintain our dominance only by growing the brand. We’ve got a phenomenal elite Engineering school, we’ve got a great upcoming Business school. If we’re going to compete in the future & I’m including cutting-edge R&D in this conversation not just sports, then GT is going to need to grow into a powerhouse not just keeping our small niche healthy. The reason we have not to this point is not due to lack of qualified candidates, it’s self-imposed constraints. We can sustain & grow not only the elite parts of the Institute, but if we’re smart we’ll develop a huge foundational base. We should be much bigger than we are right now & if you don't think the mutts up the road are not trying to neuter us by starting up an Engineering school for the more normal type engineers, not just the super smart, we’re just kidding ourselves. We’re swimming against the current if we think we’re going to attract hordes of fans & have limited access. We’re turning off what otherwise would be staunch supporters by driving their kids, grandkids, elsewhere for education. It does not have to be this way. We can have a much larger & much healthier GT if we start competing at every level, not just the elite ones. And yeah, some of our grads even needs to go into non-sexy types jobs like education & not be educated by the barking ****bags up the road. We gotta stop acting like those types of professions are somehow beneath us. [/QUOTE]
