Has Guice, Holtz and the former AD guided Tech to irrelevance?

Well, I say statement. It doesn't actually state anything.

Within this historical advertisement is something else that Tech repeatedly fails at, their list of famous alums is short some of their professional hall of famers. It’s hard to legitimately make good on your history when you snub some of the people who are responsible for it. When as an institution you don’t know the full truth of where you came from there’s no hope of knowing where you’re going.

We have enough prominent alumni and HoFers that we can stop listing them individually

The statement contains many truths.

The question is whether they are able to leverage these facts into something positive for the University and the alumni.

If you don’t like the athlete angle for promoting athletics then maybe you’d be on board for listing our deep pocket donors. Tech has to do something to somehow reinvigorate their ever diminishing product.

JMHO, but it screams small time. That’s probably how our “leadership” sees us anyway, but it’s not what I want portrayed of my school. No one needs reminding that Terry and Karl went to school here. At least I don’t think so.

Meaningless word salad. Same thing they did in reply to the baseball ticket lies, which BTW, they are near the October 31 deadline to "walk it back" again.

Do I have a right to be mad at the "Money come lately" people that will take my seat?

I don’t think so. I doubt they ask for your specific seat. You have every right to be upset with people who change the rules in the middle of the game.

I don't know that you have the right to be mad at those people. They may not even be aware that someone has those seats or has for years. All Tech is probably telling them is this section is available take your pic.

However, if We as an athletic department are taking seats away from folks well then the admin should go F' themselves immediately. If the money come lately people think because they have more of it that their green is better than your green... well then we are failing on multiple levels.

You do have the right to be mad at "those people" if they have used influence to get the rules changed in the middle of the game.

But even that wouldn't excuse athletic department staff from actually changing the rules.

I’m not expecting anything other than wishful thinking jibber jabber at this point. What we’re seeing here lately is more damage control than anything else. While the athletic department crumbles, Tech needs its fans to pitch in with their umbrellas
