Two athletic administrations in a row that didn’t foresee the landscape pivoting or change quick enough when it did. Couple that with a football coach who was also fine with the status quo (winning 10 games and being top 25) vs pushing the limits, adjusting his philosophy, and/or firing mediocre coaches. We had a strong 15 year run which was our best shot. The gap is significantly larger now. Other sports were hindered from resources during Weavers tenure. Whit tried to change that but couldn’t balance football and all other sports. Tech fans and supporters were also slow to accept the new landscape and loosen their purse strings. Location and proximity to large cities does hinder corporate sponsorships. While football drives the bus, I believe our best chance is to go all in on a sport like softball. we could win one if we maxed out the budget for a few years for NIL. Every other major sport has too large a deficit to large school including baseball, both basketball programs and of course football.
