Slightly off topic, but it would be interesting to know what, if any, GA State's football has had on GT's attendance. When I was in school, GA State students use to go to a lot of our games with their GT friends, especially since GA State dorms (before GT acquired them) were right across the street from BDS. GT gave them the Fall Saturdays most kids in the South grew wanting in their college experience....tailgating with friends then going to football games. (True story, a girl I dated my sophomore year that went to State use to say "If GT didn't have football games for me to attend, we probably wouldn't be dating" She was kidding. I think.) A lot of GA State alums would also go to GT games as they adopted GT as their team.
GA State's average attendance last season was 15K+ per game at the Dome. Granted, you have to figure not all were there to watch GA State. But say 3-5K of those fans would have gone to GT games. That's revenue of about $15,000-$25000 per game, or $105K-$175K per season. That's not a lot of money, but that's certainly enough to get 2 extra staff members for recruiting, or upgrades in our weight room.
