[QUOTE="Techster, post: 30678, member: 360"] The NFL was irrelevant at that time, so it should not even be a factor within the context of Dodd's decision. Dodd's "folly" was that he was idealistic and didn't want to work within the system...the same system that would lead the NCAA to adopt what Dodd fought for. Like I said in my OP, instead of working within the system, Dodd tried to dictate the system. By doing that, Dodd ceded what GT built as an athletic program nationally, certainly as an athletic brand in this region. GT fought TWICE to get back into the SEC. You think GT does that if we couldn't compete anymore with the SEC in terms of recruiting? Had Dodd not alienated so many people in the SEC, we may well have been allowed back into the SEC. Dodd THOUGHT he did the right thing, and hindsight tells us a different story. [/QUOTE]
