Georgia State will have a football team beginning in 2010:

Georgia State President Carl Patton announced today (April 17) that the university will begin football. His announcement received an enthusiastic response from the large crowd of faculty, staff, students and alumni gathered at the Georgia State Student Center.

The Panthers, who will play at the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Level (formally known as NCAA Division I-AA), will kick off their inaugural season in 2010 and will play their home games at the Georgia Dome.

Shortly after joining the football-sponsoring Colonial Athletic Association in 2005, Georgia State conducted a feasibility study that showed that alumni, students, faculty and staff were in support of adding a football program.

In April of ’07, the school hired former National Football League player and coach Dan Reeves as its football consultant. Reeves helped secure more than $1 million in pledges for a football program.

Last October, the Mandatory Student Fee Committee unanimously approved an increase in the student athletic fee, and shortly after that the Fiscal Advisory Committee to the President also endorsed the proposed increase. Thus, with overwhelming campus support, Patton forwarded the request to the Board of Regents for approval, which officially came April 15.
