From popularity to tenure to wins to television revenues, the list of salary considerations for head coaches is at least fifty yards long. After an illustrious university cobbles together its head coach search and salary committee, their first meeting is doubtlessly filled with comments and questions like:

“Is he affiliated with the university?”
“There’s no way he’s better than our last coach!”

Move The Georgia-Florida Game?

Are Georgia Bulldog fans and supporters celebrating already?

It has been a long distance to travel to get a cocktail for most Georgia fans, so will the yearly tradition of the once named “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” begin to shift towards Atlanta?

While the  contract with Jacksonville, Florida is set through 2010, the rumors and debates are surfacing quickly.
