Commitment, part 2

But they have averaged more than 11 wins a year.
OMG you picked an arbitrary time period knowing last year's results would inordinately skew the results! Do you even go to the games?

I just looked at the numbers on the page. And you know I go to games. With your mom. Just like in Weekend at Bernies.
 
Personally, I think Johnson is missing the boat a little. I look out and see none of the high quality linebackers that we used to always have (for example). If I remember correctly Darry Smith and Keyaron Fox both graduated from Tech, or were at least in good standing, and neither of them would even be allow on to campus today as a similarly educated recruit.

The other thread demonstrates just how much Tech is falling behind Georgia, et al academically. It shows that Texas A&M profited $100,000,000 last year in athletics. Just like Notre Dame before, that money is going to end up helping the school academically. See who is or has been moving up the academic rankings: Florida, Notre Dame, Texas, Texas A & M, Georgia. And others that somehow stay ahead of Tech: Michigan, for example. Big money is always going to help the schools in the form of new roadways, parking lots...or just funneling it back in the case of some schools.

Tech's movement up the academic rankings has come to a stop even though by all measurables, they should be higher. Everyone brags about Tech's large manhood, uh academic research grants, but that research does not generate $100,000,000/year in profit. One day, after we've been left behind, Tech will look back and realize "how easy it would have been to create a few majors for a handful of football players and have stayed relative".
