It's nothing like Iowa. Ga Tech is surrounded by all kinds of talent in a city you can easily convince 18 year olds to live in, especially black ones.

So why hasn't GT been better than mediocre over the past four decades save for a fluke national title? Is there even enough institutional support for the program to sustain success? Can they get and keep a "great" coach? Are academic requirements a factor? Being located in a state with good HS talent is only one component of the overall equation.

Well when your football players have to take calculus it's hard to put together an elite team.
We don't have the easy liberal arts majors to go along with the top tier majors like a ND or Stanford for the athletes to coast along through.... another unfortunate consequence of this is there aren't many women on campus which hurts recruiting.
I don't really care that Paul Johnson won with Gailey's recruits ... Gailey coulsn't win with Gailey's recruits.

If UNC could grease them through the system for years GT should be able to.
we have a bit more academic integrity

The issue is more getting those kids into GT and keeping them when they are required to take classes like calculus their first semester
