Disagree on Charlotte. They’ve been strong in the past, and I believe they will be strong again. It pains me to say this as a Troy Trojan fan, but I believe South Alabama could be another sleeping giant along with the Louisiana Cajuns. As for Seattle, while I don’t think they could topple UW anytime soon, I think they could build a respectable program. If Southern University can do it in the shadow of LSU, I believe Seattle will be just fine. When you consider that Georgia Tech is an equal of Louisville with all the attractiveness of Tulane, even accounting for the giant next door (UGA), there are still plenty of fans for Georgia State to snap up and build a very respectable fan base from. I’ve tried to tell you guys this several times but you won’t listen: GT is NOT a flagship nor a land grant (ie not Auburn) and Tech’s academics would be extremely challenging for even a Tulane or a Rice student!!! In addition, Georgia Tech absolutely loathes taking in-state students, so where exactly are you going to get a whole bunch of fans from??
