And the Belch gets even weaker. Benson is brilliant.
Georgia State? Never heard of them.
It's not a bad pick for the Sunbelt. It puts the in the Atlanta market.
17,408 enrollment
22.7 million budget
#8 TV market
166 million endowment
The Georgia Dome
This is a preemptive strike in case we lose FIU. But, with the numbers above, I fully expect Georgia State to be a net positive to the SBC for the long haul.
Its actually a really good get for the belt..Considering what they are going to lose.
Georgia State is a project, but they have a lot of upside. Give credit to the Sunbelt for grabbing them when they did. This team could help them in the Long run.
Market controlled by professional, SEC, and ACC teams!!! Empty NFL venue!!! Market controlled by professional, SEC, and ACC teams!!!! Urban commuter school with start-up football!!!! Market controlled by professional, SEC, and ACC teams!!!! Woo hoooo!!! They are gonna be great!!!!
I heard someone say that Atlanta doesn't even care about Georgia Tech. (kind of like Dallas doesn't even care about SMU). It will be interesting to see if Benson can get a better TV deal with markets. If so, he could actually get Atlanta, San Antonio, and Charlotte.
