Day 1

Today I did not have the two periods that I dropped for my project, but with my first interview tomorrow, I still had a meeting with Mr. Randolph to discuss idea and potential interview questions. Because colleges will probably not mention specific financial figures in their answers to my questions, I have to figure out a way to form my questions so that they don't have to do that and I can still get my question answered. Mr. Randolph suggested to me that I look at how a school getting national media attention in something like March Madness, can have implications on their admissions pool. Some of my other questions revolve round how having a football team affects a schools reputation and image, along with questions specific to each school. Georgia State for example, will be ask about their stadium, along with some questions about "guarantee games." I have also contacted a journalist who covers Georgia State and Kennesaw State football about weighing in on my project from an outside perspective, which he agreed to do. Tomorrow's interview should be interesting.
