[QUOTE="babuka, post: 375038, member: 199"] So I think an important question is where should GTs athletic budget to be a consistent top 20 team? Currently it is half of some of these teams but as posters pointed out, some of those schools have as many as 5-10 more sports teams as GT. Clemson is at 100M Tech is at 76M. So if Tech was at 86M, what would 10M per year be used on? It’s not all coaches, because 3-4M extra per year would cover high priced assistants deltas in both football and other sports compared to other top teams (not the Bama types who are on another world). You can only update facilities so much, and Tech has already been doing that. A logical place would be to pay for additional AA employees and football staffers. $4M more on all coaches for all sports. $4M more on staffers (could mean an additional 20 heads). That still leaves $2M that could be used per year on marketing, advertising, facilities, etc. Maybe 33 can chime in and give more insight into AA budgets. The thing is there are probably 130k or more GT alumni. If only a small percentage donated a couple of hundred bucks a year on top of what is currently being done then you could get there. I know a ton of fellow alumni and the AA had never reached out to us a single time. It would be super easy to convince 10k GT alumni to start auto donating to AA a few hundred dollars 1-2 Times per year, especially if they gained greater insight into the program. Just trying to be pragmatic and ask questions where I don’t know the answers. [/QUOTE]
