Not so sure about that. John Dewberry is worth at least $500 million and is a big time athletic supporter along with Joe Rodgers ( Waffle House) and some others.Attendence revenue along with non SEC/Big 10 TV revenue does hurt in regards to facility updrades.I also heard CPJ openly complain about his recruiting budget on his radio show.

With the explosion in population growth GT should be scooping up some non grad families that have moved to metro Atl.Sorry,many of my fellow Dawg fans may disagree but I also think Bobby Dodd is a pretty good place to watch a game especially @ night and the area around GT has improved as well in the last 15 years.
