[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 228288, member: 77"] OK, you do a great job of supporting your point. I concede. But the last sentence sticks in my craw a bit. Amazing how that works. It works just fine for factories with no regard for academics. Not so much for schools unwilling to compromise academic standards and create fake majors for jocks to coast through school (UNC) or have easy ones (Duke and Pitt). (wow, poly sci, soc and anthropology are some killers....) My biggest thing with ESPN is the same with any national media exposure. It creates a great attraction to schools that are constantly in the lime light. The rich get richer. We're nobody's media darling. We're not even mentioned in articles highlighting schools with great academics and football. Those articles mention Stanford, ND, Vandy, not us. I'm not necessarily condemning this, either. Just pointing out how it has impacted GT recruiting since the days of Ross/O'Leary. Yes, they existed back then, too, but it's much more intense now. [/QUOTE]
