Ben's Sports Take: Like it or not, football at GSU is important
Is the increase in GSU student fees that big of a deal? I think not.
As Georgia State University's inaugural football season approaches, many people—CL included—are still questioning the school's desire to start a football program.
With the increase in student fees and the falsely assumed triviality of collegiate athletics in general, it's easy to understand why current GSU students might not be quite as "football-giddy" as the throngs of alumni anxiously awaiting Thursday night's kickoff.
So, do the school's penny-pinching dorm dwellers have an argument? Or should they be submissively eternally grateful for the mere opportunity to attend an institution that boasts a football program?
As a former GSU student—and penny-pinching dorm dweller—myself, I felt compelled to help ease this quandary by offering my honest, albeit biased, opinion: Georgia State football is worth every penny.
