Georgia Tech the 15th B1G member?

Report: Georgia Tech approved by Big Ten to become 15th member - Land-Grant Holy Land

Dumb. Rather have North Carolina or NC State or or or or or or, you name it. No likey GT

 

[Scorpio79]

Well, I guess it's a decent school academically.
Their "stadium" will make everyone LOL though.

Is it really GT they want or the Atlanta TV market?

 

[HawkinGoferLand]

I felt all along GT was a likely candidate when going beyond 12. Good bball and FB teams through the years.
Plus Atlanta is a major air-hub so easy to travel to with direct flights.

 

[Smarthawk]

Yes the Atlanta TV market is huge for college football. Techs academics are also outstanding. I think it's a good fit and a good move. NC next?

 

[HawkinGoferLand]

it gets the B1G into ever-expanding the south too. There was some pretty good discussion on GT back when expansion talk was hot that made sense.

 

[HawkinGoferLand]

GT has been a favorite target for me as well

If this report is true, again it is all about the money. Atlanta and the state of Georgia have a lot of televisions and would expand the BTN footprint into SEC territory.

I don't believe it yet. Just some rumors flying around. We all know how that goes, somebody sees a tweet and decides to write a story. In the mean time, the tweet is deleted and the original source is backing off.

Next on the BTN, where does Stephon Marbury rank among the greatest B10 PG'sof all time?

also, there has to be two schools added so NC St or even NC or Virginia would still be in play

 

[Palpatine]

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

Told ya so.

Land-Grant Holy Land is the tOSU equivalent to Black Heart Gold Pants. Great satirical work but hardly reliable when it comes to breaking news.

Like.

 

[eveningnewsteam]

Good. Another easy flying destination

 

[pumpdog20]

All this does is give UM another fertile area to recruit from.

 

[DwayneTwill]

Awesome. Can't wait to see the Hawks play the Yellow Jackets instead of MSU, UM, OSU, UW, ILL, or any of those other Big Ten teams.

Agreed, GT is an ACC divisional champ, will be a huge step up from garbage teams like Ill or MSU.
