Mr. GTCrew4b,
Many thanks for your input. The ACC Presidents and Conference Commissioner
have carefully considered all of the options available and we believe have
chosen the best possible route, which will be announced later today.
Independently, I along with a number of others closely associate with our
Athletics program have reviewed the various options available to us
regarding conference affiliation and remain convinced that the ACC is the
best option for Georgia Tech. While I appreciate the important points you
raised, the overriding rationale is our fan base. I just cannot imagine our
fans attending games in Lansing, Iowa City, Bloomington, West Lafayette or
elsewhere on an annual basis.
Again, many thanks for your input and your continued support of Tech!!
Regards,
BP

This was in response to my email saying we need to go to the Big Ten and the ACC’s move to hastily add Louisville was a panic move. As much hate as But gets here, I’ll always respect him for taking the time to email me. Love you, Bud.
