[QUOTE="GT33, post: 900061, member: 5550"] Well here's some ideas: 1. Make GT the premier engineering & sports sciences institute in the world. We should excel at: [LIST] [*]Research and design of protective equipment to reduce injuries- helmets, padding, etc [*]Developing cutting edge materials to improve performance- lighter, more fleible, etc [*]Delivering analytical tools to enhance individual & team performance- get the damn IEs to help, they've been the #1 program in the world for 3 decades or something [*]Launching the latest & greatest facilities upgrades- video boards, sound systems, etc- fan experience stuff [*]Pro athletes should flock here for the newest advantages in all aspects of performance improvement. It's a recruiting advantage as well. [/LIST] We should be an incubator, the proving ground for the latest & greatest tech stuff. 2. Our gameday should be #1. They should be more like business tech conventions that just regular games. [LIST] [*]Get all the major companies on campus with display venues weekly [*]Maybe give selected Fortune 500 companies prime coverage each week. Could be linked to our major schools- 1 week is Computer & Software, Space & related technologies another, etc [*]Leverage local music and entertainment options either before or after games. [*]Perhaps being inside Bobby Dodd for 4 quarters gives you premium lottery position to gain access to special events [*]If we can design automobile and home comfort products, we sure as hell can do something with our stadium [/LIST] There's limitless ideas to make the experience better. Just need some initiative and determination to get it done, win. 3. Establish the professional pipeline for our athletes [LIST] [*]More media regarding post-football careers. We have plenty of examples [*]Expand coverage of co-op athletes & interns [*]Get the companies GT has great representation at to start sponsoring athletic scholarship opportunities, particularly for the minor sports [/LIST] 4. Lastly, stop running off fans. The minute Johnson left we wanted to erase a decade of GT football. We had a lot of achievements to celebrate & we just belittled them, kicked them to the curb. We need every fan, donor, supporter we can get. [LIST] [*]Use your head & start planning fundraising initiatives. The "new staff" campaign should have been locked & loaded [*]Explain why you want our money & paint the picture of what it will do [*]Make game day affordable or run promos so you fill up the stands [/LIST] 5. Stop making excuses. We can't & won't ever recruit every athlete, but there absolutely no reason we can't attract good enough GT Men to compete in a manner we can be proud. [/QUOTE]
