I always wondered why they didn't do it on Saturday at 5 or 6 EST - and then somebody explained to me that the host cities would hedge on that. They love that extra weekend day of spending and extra hotel night.

The NFL's gonna give up s Saturday night slot? Good luck with that...but I'm sure they would have no problem with letting college FB have the highly desired Saturday 10am PST slot.

This illustrates yet another reason why an 8 team playoff would be a bad idea (not counting if the conf champ games essentially become the first round).

I think this is where not having a medical school has hurt. Tech has traditionally turned out agriculture and engineering, not exactly big money careers. The college has grown substantially but the students that were part of that growth have not reach the age where they are readily donating large sums of disposable income or are considering the university when estate planning. Really we are 40 years behind some of the schools on this list in terms of the university's size and simple number of donors.

Oh Yeah, I've had the calzones. I've had everything. I totally get it.

When I was in school during the late 80's I ate at Mikes AT LEAST twice a week.

One one Blacksburg visit a couple years ago, I ate Mike's twice in one day.

I would also note that the Texas A&M figure is system wide, so TAMU-Corpus Christy, TAMU-Commerce, not just College Station. While I suppose TECHINCALLY the VT number is system wide since we have the National Capitol Region Center.

So while main campus to main campus we are essentially tied for rankings, they are not that much better funded.

yea the football stuff predates because they don't have evidence on the current stuff yet. It's not like they did it years ago then randomly decided to stop. This will be interesting to see how this rolls out as details surface
