Tech is going to the Big Ten!

Forward laterals?

People will hate me, but what game was that from
 
Since that will probably be the standard meme for crap plays/calls/etc until something better comes along, it should be part of required learning for all stingtalk posters going forward.
 
I think GT migrating to the BIG 10 (which should be called BIG 20, at this rate), is a bad idea. We will have no local schools. Everything will require a long car ride or plane. I just don't see this being a smart move. If GT were to leave the ACC, the SEC would be the logical choice. Lots of local schools, to compete with. But, when has common sense and logic ever been used lately?

This isn't the model conference expansion/ consolidation is using. Access to TV markets drives decisions, not traditional rivalries.

SEC doesn’t want or need us. Big Ten you can make an argument does, to gain Atlanta, the southern market, and a foothold in the state with the highest per capita of NFL players

it makes sense, along with forward laterals, it has the potential to be abused if it didnt come with a loss of down.

How can it be abused without the loss of down? It's still a penalty from the original spot, not from the spot of the foul. You would constantly be backing up 5 yards every time you did it, why would anyone keep doing it, or abuse it in that fashion?

But it could still suck for us as fans even if it's good for the Big 10 as a whole and nets us more money.

Would probably suck more being in a gutted ACC. Possibly suck as much even in the same ACC that can no longer compete with the remaining power conferences due to money gap. Have to pick an option that sucks the least among ones that are plausible (as rejoining the SEC is not).

In which the BIG-10 gets more of the deal than GT does. I think that is a bad deal, for GT.

Other than Clemson which school is a short car ride?

And if we were to go, Clemson and FSU would not be far behind us.

And as to the "the Big10 gets more of the deal than GT does." that is irrelevant. We bring the same thing to them as we do the ACC and we would get twice as much money. If the Big10 gives us more than the ACC then it is asinine to stick with the ACC.

If the ACC got gutted we could go back to playing Duke every year though. Apparently our second-most cherished rivalry based on the reaction to the ACC's new schedule.

Partly tongue in cheek, partly not -- there really is a lot to be said for having mostly geographically-close opponents. I know many Duke, UNC, NC State, Clemson, etc. fans just from my time spent in the southeast. That makes me more interested in playing them than I normally would be. Definitely look forward to those games more than, say, Louisville or BC.

Agreed that it's a choice between two far less than ideal options.
