Georgia State Examining Move to FBS
Georgia State’s athletic department commissioned a report that explores the expenses and revenues associated with moving from FCS, in which the Panthers currently play, to FBS, which features bowl games and the BCS. The report concludes that “GSU is well-positioned to make a transition to FBS” and “that the Sun Belt would be the best fit.”
Athletic director Cheryl Levick said that no decisions have been made and that Georgia State hasn’t received any invitation from any conferences. She declined to comment on the report, which focuses mostly on the financial aspects if GSU were invited to join the Big East, Conference USA, Sun Belt, Mid-American or Western Athletic conferences. The Panthers are members of the Colonial Athletic Association. Georgia State’s football team will play its inaugural CAA schedule later this year.
