[QUOTE="TechTravis, post: 201108, member: 1766"] Seconded with the jettisoning of Russell. That matters more now to recruits than it ever has, and I'll be damned if I lose kids over a logo. Nike, UA, show me the dollar signs. We're a world class University in one of the biggest cities in the world. I'd start immediately looking into forming partnerships with GMC, Georgia Perimeter, and any other 2 yr. school in the state that offers football and calculus. Cultivate a handful of schools where we can send partial qualifiers and guys who can't pass Calc at Tech. Have them there during the summer, getting caught up. Also, I'd see if the Hill would give me 2 yrs. to get these guys through Calc and Comp. Sci, instead of 1. Make it as easy as possible for kids to get through these academic rigors. I'd give CPJ all the leeway he thinks he needs to offer top-flight recruits, and put in place the academic support to make sure those kids can get through school. I'd begin an ad campaign nationwide highlighting the benefit of a GT education, buying ad time on ESPN and it's affiliated networks to run during big time college programming. Emphasize the low likelihood of becoming a professional athlete and the statistics on the average income level for Georgia Tech graduates. Get Calvin Johnson and a famous non-athlete alum to do commercial. John Brock maybe. I'd partner with a Hollywood studio to begin production on the Clint Castleberry story. Has the potential to be like Rudy, without the disappointing postscript. Finally, I'd entertain any and all serious opportunities at increased brand expansion. I often think ma Tech is her own worst enemy when it comes to increasing her profile on the collective consciousness on the minds of young people. Push hard for opportunities to host high school tournaments at all major sports. Increase emphasis on current Jackets in the NFL on billboards around the city. Grow our footprint here and abroad. Like the Good Book says, "First to Jerusalem, then to Judea, then to the ends of the earth..." [/QUOTE]
