Georgia Regents cap student funding of athletic programs
The Regents set limits on the amount of money from student fees and tuition that can go toward athletic programs at the state’s public colleges and universities. The cap will be between 65 percent and 85 percent of the athletic budget at most schools, depending on each school’s athletic association.

The system also plans to review campus sports programs to determine whether they are financially viable and operating in the athletic division most beneficial to the school.

Now that's ominous.

Hmm. So we're at the 65% assignment level and currently around 68% subsidized. We certainly should be able to take care of that gap in four years' time. And if we can't...well, seems like a fair limit to me.

Heh...I didn't even read that the first time through. Yeah...I guess we'll see if anything more comes around, although it doesn't worry me yet.

So for decades the Bulldogs and Yellowjackets were the only FBS programs in the state. Now two FBS programs have been added so they will just change the rules. Sigh.

It would worry me. Just saying it...even if nothing ever comes of it...puts a shadow over things. Am I going to donate a million for something if I think there is a threat to be reassigned divisions? When an opposing coach on the recruiting trail mentions that Georgia State isn't secure in FBS? If there is further conference realignment...that's not a good look either.

I'd be trying to line up some pressure to get that statement walked back.

Eh, I'm not worried about that statement either. This is the one that is bothersome: "The new rules also cap growth in athletics expenses at 5 percent a year."

The smaller you are, the more you are screwed on that one. The $90 million budget can grow $4.5 million. The $9 million budget can grow only $450,000. The rich get richer. Even if T. Boone Pickens donated $100 million...you couldn't use it to grow your program except at a slow, slow, rate.

This was the rumor that was going around for about a month now... seems like there was some fire to this smoke.

Well, at least the rest of us won't have to worry about the Georgia schools getting invites during any conference realignment.

This is not apropos to anything other than what's going on with football at Southern and State.

State got a pretty good deal on the Ted and reached a bowl game in their 6th season of football, Southern's gravitational pull in recruiting is surely getting too strong for Tech's comfort, and even though UGA wasn't that great last year I'm sure they weren't pleased they needed overtime to finish us off.

At least it's not going to be as stringent as the ODU bill.

If the latest USA Today numbers are correct, Georgia Southern is below the cap at 65%. This is aimed at Georgia State and Kennesaw State.

Yeah, those damn messageboard rumors 03-wink

It is not nearly as ominous a final result, that it could have been, had some of the surrogates for Georgia Southern and presumably Georgia State as well, not done some solid work behind the scenes with the BoR.

Given the overall stature and standing of the BoR membership and the heavy presence of UGA and GaTech graduates, this is about as good as it could be.

Had it been the 50% number that was initially bandied about, that would have been a grave situation indeed.

Heh. You can say that again.

I know we all hear lots of different things, and it's hard to know sometimes what's real and what's not. But I've heard -- reliably so, IMHO -- that the decision to send Richt on his way was made during that game. Dawg Nation did not enjoy that game one bit.

Many Dawg fans have claimed they were hoping for a loss to Southern to get rid of Richt. I don't buy it but have been told this multiple times.

I would counter with the fact that the Chancellor is a Panther. I don't think the FBS schools need worry unless they seriously screw up.

It's not unusual. When we moved up, Arkansas started passing crazy athletic funding laws that were strategically designed to help Arkansas and hurt us. South Carolina is messing with Coastal right now over there stadium expansion, and there are other examples everywhere.

This is a right of passage for most G5 programs.

Hit the nail on the head. The truly most concerning part is that incremental budget increase crap.

It's terrible because it doesn't even take into account revenues if I am reading it right. It just prohibits expense growth of more than 5%. So even if you sold 30,000 season tickets, won the Access Bowl, got a $50 million donation, joined the AAC and a large tv contract, and found a gold mine....you could still only increase your expenses by 5%.

That's stupid.
