You can't use Mike Vick as a basis for any sort of "Smarter" claim.QBs are often smarter and smarter kids play for ACC schools... you'll find alot more SEC kids in teh trenches

theres always exceptions to the ruleYou can't use Mike Vick as a basis for any sort of "Smarter" claim.
There's a difference. A dog is more well mannered than a dwag.can't hate a man for hating dwags
No. The acc schools.Where are their results on the Acc schools namedWhere are the results at Alabama, Georgia, and LSU????!!!! Are you serious?
And a dog doesn't deserve to be put in a fight to the death unlike a dwag. A dog has some semblance of intelligence and is higher on the evolutionary scale than a cockroach.There's a difference. A dog is more well mannered than a dwag.
Answer:I am watching Tech and Clemson from 1999. My question isnt just because of this game. It is just me remembering the conference back then. We dominated UGA for three years. FSU was great. Many other ACC teams were consistently good. The ACC was the place to be during that time. What has happened? I know Gailey hurt us at Tech which was a bad hire after the disappointing loss of Oleary. What else is the source of decline? I have read from insiders on Rivals that the SEC spends alot more on recruiting than the ACC. Is that not something the Acc can fix? I have heard that Tech is fixing to offer more courses and spend more on assistant coaches in order to bring in better recruits.
When we added Miami, VT, and BC I was very excited. That hasnt paid off. Who has the answers? Who has done the research?

I see what you did there...$urely there is $ome rea$on why the $EC and some other $chools have $urpa$$ed the ACC recently ... $ome other focu$ or factor that has been injected into the $y$tem ... I can't quite put my finger on it though
I think they had the large fan bases way before my lifetime. Every state they're in they have that state's main university, and each one of those states treat college football like a religion, with the exception of Kentucky.Here's why:
1) The NCAA now uses a progress to degree rule which was in its infancy back then. The rule was intended to make football schools actually send kids to class. Instead it makes academic schools that need five years to graduate struggle.
It also completely takes away any JC options. The SEC plugs their holes annually with JC players. The ACC has to go recruit and wait four years. This rule is killing Tech.
2) Flunkgate. No school can be blamed more for the ACC's poor performance the last decade than Tech. Don't look at anyone else. It's us. What started it? Flunkgate. What's continuiing it? $35 shoes.
3) The SEC. The SEC realized that they better compete immediately with the ACC. Just like Romney with Obama, the ACC plays way too nice.
In recruiting, the SEC has been taking 25-30 recruits almost annually per school. The big boys, LSU and Bama, have taken 135 kids the last five years to Tech's 100. Hmmm, I think Navy could compete with Bama if they got 135 v 100.
4) Timing. The new deals happening in TV pushed ESPN to become SECSPN. It could have been us but due to poor timing, it's them.
5) Arrogance. I think as the ACC is being put together, everyone looks around and sees only academic schools now. It used to be a mixture, but I think it's easier now for schools to feel good competing with BC, Wake, Pitt, Duke, UNC, UVA and act like you are somebody.
As to other issues I've read here such as number of fans, etc., those are effects, not causes.
main one in texas is UT.. it could be aurgued the main one in florida and south carolina is FSU and Clemson... that really only leaves georgia as their are no acc schools in bama or mississippiI think they had the large fan bases way before my lifetime.

Navy offered 61 kids for the 2013 class.. they have no scholarship limitHere's why:

Yeah I forgot about TAM and Mizzou. I'm not talking states that have have SEC and ACC schools. I was refering to the conferences as a whole. I don't think UNC, UVA, UMd, or BC care nearly as much about football as UF, SC, UGA, Alabama, UT, Arkansas, Ole Miss or LSU was my point.main one in texas is UT.. it could be aurgued the main one in florida and south carolina is FSU and Clemson... that really only leaves georgia as their are no acc schools in bama or mississippi
