At least Tech is #1 where it's most important...

And the irony of it all is that the CTO of Business Insider failed out of GT.
 
Glad to see it...but we know it's likely to be a long season if we are falling back on this already. ;)
 
Cool. Now that we've been there and done that, can we go private?

Srsly. Only about 20% of the annual budget is state money now. Imagine offering an elite MBA program and giving the finger to the Georgia BoR.

Yeah but that just means even our fail-outs are badasses...so it really just reaffirms the article
 
Hey we found water on Mars too. And that's like not football related or something.

Yes, we did, Akinji!! And no, it's not a football related thread, my bad. But it still gives all of us football fans, students, alums, GTdads and GTmoms the reason we hold our heads high no matter if we win or loose a football game.

Law.

Imagine law.

Medicine.

Imagine medicine.

If we can just turn the crank on going private, we can not only make UGA the 2nd rate school in literally everything they do, we can also laugh Emory out of town on their strongest programs.
 
Georgia Tech could (and should) blow other Ga schools out of the water with a STEM secondary education program. It's a natural fit and would provide the public with more highly qualified teachers. I seriously don't understand why it isn't a thing. At Clemson, a pretty high % of science education majors are former engineering or science majors who are pretty strong on content knowledge compared to your average teacher. Imagine how that would look at Georgia Tech.

Really?

All curriculum restrictions on GT come straight from the Board of Regents.

I'll give you one guess who runs the Board of Regents.

Penn, MIT, Caltech, TCU, and Southern Cal are all private with states in their names.

I don't think it would matter if the BoR hates our guts once we went private. The difficulty would be in buying the campus from them, and then watching them use the billions to buy houses for UGA recruits.

Would have similar impact to leaving SEC, as regards being serious about big time football. Would lower people's opinion of us in our home state even more. You say that does not matter? We would become Tulane, vandy, rice, Tampa u, ga state of college football.

We are going to make up lost ticket sales from N.Y., Ohio, cali and places like that? Right

The BoR will not grant us different majors if WE do not request it first.

No coincidence the whining has starred after 2 straight losses.

There is only no whining about once out of every, what, 7 or 8 years? We catch lighting in a bottle and only then do we think we don't have curriculum problems.
