UGA can be both a very strong academic institution and strong athletically, as Adams was trying to point out. We don't want football to drive the school, and it shouldn't. UGA should aspire to be the Stanford of the East rather than the Bama.
Bama is both, why can't we be both? Bama is a strong academic institution but when it comes to football they are balls out to win. We should be the same.
Also, Bama rakes in more cash than any one while also having that kind of commitment to football. We should at the very least be competitive in that reguard.

Errrr.......not exactly.
According to U.S. News:
Bama is ranked 96th overall; UGA is 61st.
Bama is ranked 43rd of public institutions; UGA is 21st.
For various courses of study:
Business
Bama - 53rd / UGA - 55th (#2 Insurance and #3 Real Estate)
Education
Bama - 107th / UGA - 34th
Law
Bama - 28th / UGA - 33rd
Bio Science
Bama - 115th / UGA - 42nd
Chemistry
Bama - 92nd / UGA - 56th
Public Affairs
Bama - 130th / UGA - 4th
Pretty big gaps in most places there (comparing common programs between the two). They have us in engineering as we are still in fledgling stages there, yet they are still ranked 105th. We have them in Vet Schools at 10th...and in a number of other common programs.
We have NO programs ranking outside the top 100 (Computer Science is 90th, Earth Sciences 88th, Physics 85th, Economics 64th, and English 59th for our lowest five). They have numerous other programs in the 90s and 100s.
This really isn't as close as you think it is.

Do you really think that UGA should aspire to be the academic institution that is Bama? Do you know any Georgia kids who attend Bama and how they would love to have been able to have had the grades to have gotten into UGA? Bama is a football program with a school attached. So is Auburn. UGA is a great academic institution, growing in reputation, that has a very good extra-curricular football program. Football should not run a university.
