Clearly our gym is holding us back.
Obviously.
46 years we have not even played one single men’s NCAA Tournament game at The University of Georgia’s gymnasium yet the UGA annual budget now stands right at $ 2 billion annually. We can afford a new gym and it would greatly assist all sports and all students for us to build one.
And it would greatly enhance our recruiting in both men’s and women’s sports because they would be coming to visit us at our new gym.
The facts are very clear that Atlanta is a tremendous hotbed of NBA talent yet Georgia NEVER HAS gotten this talent in our lifetimes. That is not Mark Fox’s fault.
