Georgia State will play its first ever football game tonight in the Dome against Shorter College. Georgia State's students voted to increase their semester athletic fees by $85 to afford the team... multiply $85 by 31,000 and you'll see it's a good number for baseline funding...
Word on the street is that Kennesaw State will announce if it will or will not form a football team on September 15th. It's widely hoped in the area that KSU will go forward with a football program... you'd have to think that brand new 8,000 seat 16.5 million dollar "soccer stadium" that just happens to be expandable to 28,000 would be a wonderful home for a new football team. Kennesaw State has over 22,000 students and a large and growing alumni base to pull funding from... plus, KSU enjoys better better than Georgia State so this will just be another friendly competition.
