[QUOTE="ClydeBrick, post: 138428, member: 1329"] [USER=931]@B Lifsey[/USER] , To your analogy, I think that going to Tech means that you only want the Corvette, not the Chevette. If all you want is basic transportation there are many other car lots that will not mess with you as much as Ma Tech does during your stay on The Flats. If The Institute had a win-at-any-cost mentality, could offer a recruit an "educational" experience that an average high school athlete could handle (for at least 3 years), had factory-like facilities and the head coach appeared to offer a NFL-style scheme AND we offered only old-school uniforms we'd be . . . Alabama. :rolleyes: Well, probably not Alabama. But I would agree that the uniforms could actually make a difference to a recruit that thinks the NFL is his [I]primary[/I] future employer. There are seven items on my (non-exhaustive) list of issues with recruits above. I would have to think that the first six offer greater obstacles on the recruiting trail for GT than the uniforms that the team wears - especially with kids who [U]only[/U] dream of the NFL. The uniform as a difference maker with a [I]student[/I] athlete that would consider GT? I guess anything is possible, and every edge would help. Would Nike uniforms get the program to the top? Not unless we change The Institute to a factory-style university, and GT got the same consideration from Phil Knight that Oregon does along with those Nike uniforms. Because as [USER=231]@Bruce Wayne[/USER] showed us above, the money will be the primary reason GT keeps or changes uniform manufacturers. [/QUOTE]
