They pussified Tech sometime in the ‘00s to get the retention rates up for ranking purposes. It’s pretty sad, because (even though I made it through Tech easier than most in the early ‘90s), I firmly believe that going through that fire makes you stronger than the “it’s just like high school” version.

Old guys like to think it was this, but really it's just that they started weeding out the marginal students during admissions instead of after enrollment. If the student body has stayed roughly the same size while the school has become drastically more selective, well, you do the math. GT would still utterly flatten most people, it's just that they aren't getting in in the first place now.
