Georgia Tech to the Big 10Moderators: PonyPride, SmooPower Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10Love how the UVA folks are screaming about a cut in federal resarch dollars, and then at the end you find out it is a whopping 8.8%. Big deal!! Is there any of us that couldnt cut 8.8% out of our personal budgets if you absolutley had to? This is what is wrong with our govt mentality. There is no cut too small to not get hysterical about.
ok - back to your regularly scheduled falling apart (previously BCS) conference.
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10And the converse of that is..the govt thinks hey, we will raise taxes x.x%..is there anyone that would really notice it or not be able to cut it out if they absolutely had to ?
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10
No one really cares about the jackets at all in Atlanta. It's SEC country all the way.If they do in fact leave, it'll be sad to see them no longer play their natural rivals (Clemson, FSU, etc.) anymore. "smupony94: Harry, you have been promoted to purveyor of official status capabilities."
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10
It's easier and better to have people take less out of the pot then asking the few to put more in.
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10GT moving to the Big 10 tells us exactly what the SMU/Houston situation is.
People don't care if you "carry atlanta". All they care about is being able to 1) sell their conference network in your market and 2) spanning timezones. this isn't about recruiting, or competition or anything. This is about the big 10 saying "I realize GT doesn't carry atlanta. But IF GT can get good, then we can pressure atlanta cable companies to make the big 10 part of the basic sports package. And that means mega-money for us." And that is why Houston and SMU are going to be in the ACC or the PAC if the implosion continues.
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10
I second that motion. 2015 INDIANAPOLIS OR BUST
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10
how would you feel if your boss told you your salary was going down 8.8% next year?
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10Jason - you're on to something. I agree.
BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF SMU FOOTBALL!!!
For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue.
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10I'm hoping Jason's prediction is right
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10I know there are a lot of ex-Californians & West Coasters living in the DFW area & they would definitely watch the PAC 12 network - or whatever it's called. Fleeing the taxes here. Makes sense.

Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10As much as I'd like to see us to the PAC, it is a total farce. Give me a credible link and I might believe it. Otherwise our fan base is appearing very out of touch. We haven't done anything worthy since the 80s
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10
Winner winner chicken dinner. As much as I love SMU, it is irrelevant to PAC12 or ACC or B1G or any other conference expansion for traditional reasons (fan base, consistent winning, etc.). What's important is that a lot of alumni from those conferences live in DFW and would like to watch their schools on television here, where the alumni live. SMU is a useful tool for that effort. SMU is valuable (right now) because it provides an access point for those conferences to enter the DFW television market. That's how SMU should be playing this in the negotiations. It's not about our billionaires on the board or JJ or LB or [insert reason here]. It's because we are the best school in Dallas, and having us on board opens up the ability of a conference to say to ESPN/NBC/CBS/Fox "lookie here, we have a big metropolitan area in our conference; give us lots of $$$." /No Hate. Just Facts. Occasional sarcasm.
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10Well, said.

Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10
The thing you are forgetting is they don't need us to come to dfw for the reason you gave about alumni. B1G is already on my uverse. PAC can do the same. Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally
Re: Georgia Tech to the Big 10
How about this? ESPN has us in the PAC12 already: http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/tag/_/nam ... s/count/16
