[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 876303, member: 2426"] You do have to consider all of those things.(Except TV money because every ACC school gets that no matter how well they perform.) Several million dollars, even into several millions of dollars are easily accessible by the very large programs. Texas and Texas A&M both have revenues over $200 million. Boosters at factory programs step in to cover buyouts and money for new exciting coaches. Compare the athletics situation to a bad leaky roof that is likely to cause damage to the inside of a house. It is more expensive to ignore the issue than it is to replace the roof. A wealthy person would just replace the roof. A person with a well funded emergency fund would just replace the roof. A person with no emergency fund but decent income and credit would set up a payment plan for a new roof. A person with no money, no credit, and little income would do something like putting a plastic tarp over the roof until they can do something better. GT Athletic's financial situation is closer to the last two people. I think that GT football is in a very bad situation at the moment from a high level standpoint. From some people posting here and from other people I have talked to it appears that a large number of long time season ticket holders are not renewing. It appears at this point that attendance is going to be very low next year.(Hopefully I am wrong.) It looks like CGC and the football program have lowered the hard sell techniques, but that might be because I am not paying attention. If the team wins 5, 6, or even 7 wins it will probably take a decent amount of marketing to pull those people back and to gain new season ticket holders. As I said, the hard sell techniques appear to be on hold. Restarting them might still turn people off instead of pulling them in. If the team wins more than 8 games, or if CGC is fired and a superstar type coach is hired then I would predict that attendance and interest would increase in 2023. I am doubtful that either of those will happen. We will likely either have a mediocre season and bring CGC back for 2023, or CGC will be fired and a non inspiring coach will take over in 2023. For the good of GT football, the team doesn't need just a few more wins it needs to have an outstanding season. [/QUOTE]
