do you know of any potential transfer targets for us via rumors or what have you from some of the factories in the playoffs? We are clearly being tight with our money right now so I'm curious if we are saving for a few big splashes.
KQ- I wouldn't be able to talk about that either way, that implicates GT for tampering if I said anything other than no. They have some cool portal kids coming to visit this week.
Does anyone know if AFCA has ever presented a recommendation to whoever runs college football about the regulation of the portal and nil?
KQ- I'm sure they have, the NCAA is afraid to get sued out of existence so they are just bowing to the whims of the courts right now.
Perhaps this has already been covered - hard to keep up with every sentence of every thread but it would be great to get some clarity on timing for exactly when the $20M revenue sharing kicks in and clarity on if NIL is above and beyond that figure. Will the GT NIL Collective just feed the $20M GTAA Rev share or be something entirely separate?
KQ- The goal is to have more than the baseline for NIL. They have not announced that I recall the closure of the TechWay unlike other programs are doing either. Now, J Batt would like people to donate to get to the $20 million mark in-house and then give to the TechWay I think if he had his choice in the matter because that way they have control of it completely and then the extra money can be directed very specifically and it isn't a drain on the budget.
What’s it going to take to be good at basketball again? Take away the Jose yr when we were still 9-8 at one point but then didn’t lose again other than that and a strong season the yr before at the end of the yr GT hasn’t been good at all. Even 2010 we were a 10 seed right? Man it just doesn’t seem like we can ever turn the corner.
KQ- Bro I have no idea. The thing I was most excited about when I took the job in the SPRING OF 2009 was covering good men's basketball after years of covering Dennis ****ing Felton at UGA. I got like two good seasons in 15 years. It is so annoying to me, especially going to cover all the games. Damon's two sophomores have played very poorly this year and Baye Ndongo regressed to the point where he should probably have his NIL money taken away if they could do that to refocus him. It is a weird deal, but they are only 1/3 into the season so let's see what they can do in the final 2/3s, but my optimism is being sapped with each 3+ minute scoreless stretch.
Any details on Key's new contract?
KQ- I don't like to deal with that stuff as it can ruffle the feathers of my relationships so I leave it to people like Chad at the AJC. Chad said that they are not going to quickly release the contract to him (Kirby's Law) so it may be a bit before it leaks. He put in the FOI right after it was announced.
How many of our 2024 football team will have no eligibility left after this bowl game?
There are 18 players set to play their final game for Georgia Tech as seniors in the bowl game plus those that already left as grad transfers like Corey Robinson, Leo Blackburn, Zach Pyron and Horace Lockett who won't play in the game.
I heard that we are at about 80 football scholarships. going into next. What quantities are you now showing??
KQ- That would be incorrect, GT is at 73 scholarship players as of today after the portal departures.
Do we have any quality punter prospects in the portal or on the team?
KQ- Yes in the portal they are active.
Are the best portal players available now or in the spring? Is there a significant difference?
KQ- Typically the best players will be in now and not in the spring. The players have another 12 days to enter the portal as well.
Last mailbag (12/7) I asked about Troy Stevenson and never saw anything. Apologies if I missed it on my end. If so, where can I go to listen or read
There you go from last weeks' mailbag.
