Athletics has not proven they can do that. And we have been serious about Athletics for about 7 years. Academic side is a whole different matter. You will find a lot of the same people that just transformed the eastern part of Downtown will be running lead on this.

This.

I agree with Panama's statement. So the academic portion of the Turner Field project will probably be fine. But going back to my original statement, where is the money coming from for the athletics side of things? If its fund raising, I think that throws up a HUGE red flag. The money can't be intermingled with the academic side of things.

New Records in Fundraising Set at Georgia State

We have been able to fund raise, and fund raise well when it comes to the University side of things. The same people who have been heading that up are the ones leading the charge of fundraising when it come to Turner. The people who have donated before to the University did so to achieve not just University changing but Atlanta shaping things. This is in their wheel house. Athletics would be over their heads. Then there is the influx of about 20,000 new students' athletic fees from GPC.
