I know all about the "gentlemen's agreement"; however...

...would UGA really lose a lot if Ga. Tech came into the SEC? They were in the conference before (a founding member as I recall). Because of their academic standards, I really would not expect a big drop off for UGA's recruiting.

Multiple sources have reported that there isn't one. More than have definitively reported that it exists.

I would take about 10 teams before Ga. Tech. personally. They bring nothing to the table...at all

They were charter members of the SEC. The only defector I'd be willing to welcome back is Sewanee. Georgia Tech and Tulane can both go straight to hell.

if GT was to leave the ACC, it would be for the B1G imo. same with that shite stain of a school, maryland.

41% of the tv viewership in Atlanta are college football fans. Second only to NYC in terms of pure number of overall fans. A great deal of those are UGA grads or tied to the school already. Adding GT, which UGA plays them every year already, would cannibalize some of what the SEC has and not really amount to a great deal for the net gain.
They are more a basketball school, so the ACC works better for them. Football, they are good about once every 20 years for a year or two before returning to average or below.
GT could play more SEC schools in its open weeks, but they don't. There's a reason. They just would not hold up. Who runs the triple option in the SEC and lives?
Sure they look sound, at times, against UNC and NCSt or Wake Forest, but those are not FL, UT, Auburn, AL, LSU, or even UGA (careful I don't get bit/jinxed saying that this year.)

This. No real fan base. They may only be the 4th largest fan base in ATL. Small stadium and abysmal attendance. I have no clue why people keep thinking they would be a good add.

Oh, and frick Tulane.

There isn't but all it takes is one president to say no and the vote would be over.
