[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 877040, member: 4334"] This is hogwash. With the portal, academics mean nothing. All our school has to do is outbid for players and keep them eligible for the fall semester and then let them leave. The days of worrying about academics at GT are long gone. To say our class work limits our recruiting pool is just ludicrous these days. We accept players every cycle who should never be allowed in a GT classroom if you want to talk academics. What limits our recruiting pool is that we do not win games and our reputation as not caring about losing. And the fact that schools like GT, Vandy and others have allowed academics to interfere with their sports programs is their own fault. You make it sound like what GT has been doing is honorable and the right way. It’s the absolute wrong way and has created a loser mentality when people think of GT. Losing in football and hoops has done nothing to enhance our institution. It is not admirable. Look at UGA. Their academic rankings have soared because the perception of their school is that of a winner. People like winners and support winners. [/QUOTE]
