There was an odd number of choices.

Where is the 'Join the Ivy League' option? I mean, they can't be left out of the expansion madness. Or did Southern Miss already take our spot?

You could vote to move to Div. 3, essentially same thing.

Ramblinwise came up with these options after two weekend long threads. I am sure something is missed and all details aren't touched on. Everyone should be able to fit into one of the available options.

You don't just join the Ivy League and they're not inviting a public engineering school from the South any day soon.
 
Question for everyone....I know a certain seating capacity was once needed to move up a division. If we moved down would we have to tear down the stadium?

Also I can't believe the second option is doing so well. I expected about 50/50 for 1 and 5.

No way, I would say the board is split about 50/50 between trying to play with the big boys in the current environment and taking every precaution not to compromise academics like we have seen other schools do.

If you had a poll for only people who graduated in the past decade I imagine it would be almost completely 1 and 5, moreso towards 5.

I think the board is showing at about 75% it would prefer to compete.
I believe you might be incorrect about the newer GT grads. I would put it at 50/50 1 and 5 with neither having an obvious advantage.

Only if you start with the assumption that simply granting more player exceptions will allow us to compete. :biggrin:

Regardless... the numbers are showing people would like for GT to acknowledge and do something.

I am pretty sure that is already being done. :biggrin:

I just hate it when some moron chimes in to basically echo or substantiate an already trite punch-line, and then adds a smiley.

Person A: "That's what she said!"

KrazieJacket: "Sounds like she was talking about sex or dicks lol :biggrin:"

Joining the ACC saved our program from certain death. And by death I mean death. I don't think everyone is aware just how close we came to either dropping football or dropping down to DII/DIII back in the late 1970s.

The ACC has been very, very good for us and to us over the last 30+ years.

It may or may not be time to move on but had we not joined, I'm not sure we make it through the 80s. Cremins would not have taken the job and Ross probably wouldn't have either (he was boarding a plane to Buffalo to take a job with the Bills when our AD called). Cremins wanted to get back into the ACC to atone for his perception that it was his fault that South Carolina lost the ACC Championship. No, joining the ACC was the best thing that has happened to GT since Dodd took the HC job.

Better plan is to go back and tell Dodd to never leave the SEC. The NCAA took care of the stuff that really bothered him eventually anyway.
