Mostly good news and back on track at UGA financially ..however...losing Petros Kyprianou as track coach is very saddening. This talented coach lobbied tirelessly for an indoor track facility.....and failed.....so is leaving. Very sad. It will hurt UGA T & F in the future. Brooks needs to rethink this in a hurry.
I agree, @UGA66 . I know Track & Field doesn't bring in a lot of revenue, but it can carry some prestige if we do it right -- and it seems that "Coach K" is doing just that. Seems like there should be a way to get him the facility that he wants. I don't know what his relationship is with Kirby Smart, but if it's a good one, maybe Kirby could work on his behalf. If Kirby wants him to stay, they'll figure out a way to get it done. This is one coach that just seems like we'd want to do all we could to keep -- beyond just a "generous" contract extension. Obviously, it's not all about money for himself.
Full football attendance should improve the athletic association’s bottom line considerably.
Sadly, this is what this is ultimately about.
That picture above looks like a bunch of old men being held hostage by the Mighty Dollar.
Wish it weren't true, but...
