Time for the NCAA to give GT Football our ACC trophy back

[Root4GT]

I've never really understood this but not really looked into an explanation either. Is there an NCAA rule or something that says we can't display it? What are they going to do if we do?

Worry about FSU’s lawsuit

It's just amazing that GT fans cannot read between the lines, but we are Engineers and tend to be 100% literal. Reading some it should have gone like this:

Coach: Yeah, hey you 2 guys can't practice and can't play in the biggest game of the year. Go sit in your dorm.

Players: Why coach?

Coach: No particular reason.

Team: Hey coach, where's our two top players?

Coach: Dorm room

Team Why?

Caoch: No particular reason. By the way don't talk to them at all about anything. Nothing to see here, move along.

The country has lost its minds. We can no longer discern rght from wrong. The NCAA should have told GT, this is an extremely minor infraction not even worth anything other than a note from us to you telling you relatives are not eligible to give kids ANYTHING. They should have cleared the players out of hand for practice, playing in the game, etc.

You don't go firing or suspending your top performers at work because they forgot to refill the coffee pot. Just idiotic on so many levels particularly when you have so many major infractions going unpunished. Cars, drugs, hookers, homes, cash, jobs, etc all being given to players and families. Nothing got done, but wham those T-shirts. That there is worthy of a huge penalty. Add that to taking Physics instead of Biology for a science course and the ensuing penalties we got. Universities have had entirely fake programs, damn near nothing happened. GT fans still apologizing to the NCAA for BS/imaginary rules being violated while everyone else cheats like crazy around us & gets off with nothing.

Yeah, but you don’t get it. T-shirts are the gateway drug to hookers, cocaine and illegal sports betting. Tech should be thankful that the NCAA nipped this in the bud.

When we leave the ACC for the BIG10 we need to put it back in display.

We have the trophy. It was in a closet in the Edge Building until very recently. The NCAA has the power to do whatever they're allowed to do. Had GT lawyered up, like many other schools have done, and gone after the NCAA for over-reach, the trophy would probably still be on public display.

UNC comes to mind when I think of other ways Tech could have handled this and “roll over and take it” was not in UNC’s playbook.

Right?!? If we followed the UNC gameplan, we would’ve handed out clothing to the entire student body and claimed no athlete got preferential treatment. Problem solved.

Yes, we were about to be naughty and the NCAA kept us on the path of righteousness. We should have a special ceremony to honor those fine NCAA adminstrators and investigators.

Trophy? We've got a warehouse full of them.

Just put it up in Bobby Dodd.

With a dunk tank?

That kind of crap led indirectly to where we are today. Namely, the NCAA not having their poop in a pile.
