[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 913385, member: 2957"] Sure there is a reason. We don't have the revenue to support a high profile hire. Take almost any SEC team ... raise the price of your swag slightly. The licensing fees along will generate massive increases in cash. As will raising season ticket prices. That's how TN got rid of Butch Jones. $5/seat x 100,000 x 7 = $3.5M a year. Easy. Tech can't do that. There is almost no market for Tech swag, season ticket sales are stuck at 20,000 a year and declining. This is the main issue that Tech has ... how to fix the revenue problem. One thing that has hurt us is recruiting. Tech is limited to a subsidy percentage of 10% of Direct Institutional Support and often, that subsidy is the waiver of out-of-state students. It's a non-cash charge, so there is no money changing hands but ... I believe that if Tech recruited more in Georgia, the savings in out-of-state tuition waivers could be repurposed as DIS directly to the GTAA and THAT could be used to hire better staff. I just don't think anyone has sat down and actually designed a system that is outcome focused with the constraints we have. Perhaps Batt will. [/QUOTE]
