Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Georgia State is moving from independent status
to CAA Football membership this season.
The university may have an even bigger move in the future.
Georgia State announced Tuesday it has commissioned Collegiate Consulting to
conduct a study regarding the feasibility of a move to the Football Bowl
Subdivision from the Championship Subdivision.
"We are performing our due diligence to fully understand potential
opportunities in the rapidly changing landscape of college athletics and
particularly college football," Georgia State director of athletics
Cheryl L. Levick said. "We will evaluate the information in the feasibility
study to determine the best course of action for Georgia State.
"No decisions have been made, and Georgia State has not received an invitation
from any conference,"
Georgia State's program has played only two seasons. As a startup program
under coach Bill Curry, the Panthers went 6-5 in 2010 and 3-8 this past
season.
