The athletic year enters its final week as your usual trio flip in their history books to a particularly turbulent period in Tech history: the 1910-1920s. Colloquially referred to (by us anyway) as Tech's Scratch/Claw/Beg/Borrow/Steal period, the then-Georgia School of Technology struggled with rising attendance in the post-war period without the state funding to match. How did it survive financially? What were the legislative machinations that forced it into a corner? Who were the major players of the time? What throughlines can we draw to problems that face the Institute today? All of that and much more in today's show! Our full slate: Updates: Director's Cup, Atlanta traffic alert for 27-Jun-24, EA CFB 25, Baseball, Olympic Trials History/Discussion: Georgia Tech's flirtations with financial ruin in the 1910s and 1920s Subscribe to the pod via anchor.fm/scions or add us to your podcatcher using https://anchor.fm/s/5aa2e7c/podcast/rss.
