GEORGIA STATE’S HOME OPENER

Georgia State and North Carolina are meeting for the second straight year. Last season in Chapel Hill, the Panthers were within 24-10 with six minutes left in the third quarter before UNC scored four straight touchdowns and went on to win 59-17.

Playing back-to-back Power 5 opponents for the first time in program history, head coach Shawn Elliott's Panthers have won seven of their last nine games. Georgia State is coming off a school-record eight victories in 2021, capped by the its' third straight bowl appearance and second consecutive bowl victory. The Panthers have played in bowl games in four of Elliott’s five seasons.

TAR HEEL LINEAGE: First-year receivers coach Quinshad Davis is a 2016 graduate of North Carolina, where he was a standout receiver. Davis earned All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors and finished his career as the Tar Heels’ all-time leader in receptions (205) and touchdown catches (25).

BACKFIELD DUO: Senior running backs Tucker Gregg (third) and Jamyest Williams (seventh) both rank among the top seven career rushers in GSU history. Since the start of the 2020 season, Gregg (1,445) and Williams (1,188) have combined for 2,633 yards, including 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2021.

2022 GEORGIA STATE FOOTBALL 77 Georgia State’s fourth game against an ACC program, and the Panthers have also faced teams from the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac 12. One of the biggest moments in GSU athletics history was the Panthers’ 38-30 victory at Tennessee in the 2019 season opener, the program’s first win over a Power Five team. In that Tennessee win, Georgia State trailed 1714 at the half but outscored the Vols 24-13 in the second half. Tra Barnett’s 19-yard run gave GSU a 28-23 lead, and then quarterback Dan Ellington sealed the win with a 22-yard touchdown run with five minutes left.

Georgia State led until the final minute but the Tigers scored the go-ahead touchdown on a fourth-down pass with 45 seconds left and went on to win 34-24.

WHAT’S THE RUSH: After holding South Carolina to just 79 yards rushing on 32 carries, the Georgia State defense has held four straight opponents under 100 yards. Those four foes have averaged 52 yards per game and 2.5 yards per carry.Over the last three games of 2021, the Panthers allowed a total of 128 yards rushing. GSU set a school record by holding Arkansas State to minus-3 yards, and then held Troy to 57 yards and Ball State to 74 yards.

14 CENTER PARC STADIUM HOME OF THE GEORGIA STATE PANTHERS

Center Parc Stadium was originally constructed as the 85,000-seat Centennial Olympic Stadium and used for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and the track and field competition. Ground was broken on the stadium on July 10, 1993.

The Braves played their final game at Turner Field, a 1-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers, on Oct. 2, 2016. In November 2016, the Board of Regents approved Georgia State University’s purchase of 38 acres of the 68-acre site for $22.8 million, and the conversion process began in earlyGeorgia2017.

Center Parc Stadium features 25,000 seats for football, a FieldTurf playing surface on “Pete” Petit Field and dramatic views of the Atlanta skyline. The conversion process incorporated the existing seating areas on the north, west and south sides of the stadium with a new grandstand constructed on the east side, formerly the outfield.

CENTER PARC CREDIT UNION STADIUM is the home of Georgia State football. The Panthers took over this iconic property, formerly Centennial Olympic Stadium and then Turner Field and venue for Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves, for the 2017 season.

Following the Olympic Games, much of the north end of the stadium was removed in the conversion to the 49,000-seat baseball park that served as the home of the Atlanta Braves from 1997 through 2016.

2022 GEORGIA STATE FOOTBALL 15

The Panthers enter their sixth season in this impressive venue, which also houses the Football Operations Suite, completed in 2019. All of the program’s day-to-day operations are at Center Parc Stadium, including weight room, meetings rooms, coaches’ offices, athletic training room and equipment room.

State opened its new home against Tennessee State before 24,333 fans on Aug. 31, 2017.

The first baseball game at Turner Field was played on April 4, 1997 as the Braves defeated the Chicago Cubs 5-4. The stadium hosted the National League Division Series a total of 11 times (1997–2005, 2010, 2013) and the NL Championship Series four times (1997–1999, 2001), as well as one World Series (1999), one NL Wild Card Game (2012, the first in baseball history), and the 2000 MLB All-Star Game.

The facility was renamed Center Park Credit Union Stadium as part of a 15-year, $21 million agreement between Center Parc Credit Union, a division of Atlanta Postal Credit Union (APCU), and Georgia State Athletics, announced on Aug. 11, 2020.

CHARLIE COBB

On the field, the Panthers have garnered unprecedented success during his tenure, including 2021-22 which was the best competitive season for GSU teams in school history. Georgia State led the Sun Belt Conference and finished an all-time high No. 88 in the final 2022 LEARFIELD Division I Director’s Cup standings.

Through the implementation of the department’s strategic plan, Cobb is focused on building a ‘Culture of Success’ at Georgia State based on five themes: Academic CompetitiveAchievement,Greatness, Ethical Behavior, Social Responsibility, and Community Engagement. Since his hire in August 2014, multiple new facilities have opened, while student-athletes continue their impressive commitment to academic performance, highlighted by a record 3.40 GPA in spring 2020.

They also brought home eight consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships (top men’s sports program in the Southern Conference) and four Germann Cup championships (top women’s program). Together, they earned the men’s and women’s awards in the same academic year four times.

At App State, Cobb helped create $50 million in facilities improvements as the Mountaineers’ fundraising efforts that reached all-time highs, including surpassing the $3 million mark. The jewel of the construction projects was the seven-story Appalachian Athletics Center and the campaign also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball, softball, and soccer, as well as a new indoor practice facility.

The 54-year-old Cobb was a four-year letterwinner as a football player at NC State. He graduated with honors with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1990 and earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio in 1992.

Among Cobb’s biggest projects has been participating in the acquisition, purchase, and re-purposing of Turner Field, transforming the former Major League Baseball venue into the home of Georgia State football, now named Center Parc Credit Union Stadium in recognition of the $21 million, 15–year naming rights agreement reached in 2020. Phase One of the project was completed in August 2017 and includes new east side seating and an artificial surface field for the football team. Phase Two moved all football operations to the stadium in 2019 as part of a $300 million plan to transform the 68-acre site.

In fall 2022, the men’s and women’s basketball teams will begin play in the new Georgia State University Convocation Center, and future construction plans include the completion of an ‘Athletics Neighborhood’ as part of the development including a baseball stadium, softball stadium and track and field venue. The The GSU Soccer Complex for the men’s and women’s programs was completed in 2021, and the Bobby Jones Golf Practice Facility opened for the men’s and women’s golf teams in 2019.

If you have any knowledge that an NCAA violation has occurred or believe that an NCAA violation may have occurred, we ask that you notify the Compliance Office at (404) 413-4010 or compliance@gsu.edu.

•

Contact or forward information to GSU appropriate coaching staff about a prospect that they believe would be a great addition to the program. Contribute/Donate money to the Panther Athletic Club to support GSU athletic programs. Attend high school games and functions that a prospect might be at, provided you have no contact with them. Continue to maintain contact with a prospect and their family as long as you have a pre-existing relationship and there is no attempt to recruit the student-athlete.

For every NIL deal a GSU studentathlete enters into, the below two requirements MUST be met:

• After the student-athlete is “paid”, whether it be monetary or in the form of receiving anything of value (gear, merchandise, meals, etc.), this transaction MUST be disclosed on INFLCR

• Any contract or agreement that is signed with an individual, company, organization, etc., no matter how formal or informal, must be disclosed to Compliance Office PRIOR to becoming effective.

The NCAA is committed to ensuring that its rules, and its enforcement of those rules, protect and enhance student-athlete well-being and maintain national standards for recruiting. Those goals are consistent with the NCAA’s foundational prohibitions on pay-for-play and impermissible recruiting inducements, which remain essential to collegiate athletics. In Georgia, if an individual elects to engage in an NIL activity, the individual’s eligibility for intercollegiate athletics will not be impacted by application of Bylaw 12 (Amateurism and Athletics Student-athletes mayEligibility.” earn compensation for the use of the their name, image, and likeness (“NIL”), subject to certain conditions. Georgia State University (“University”) fully supports student-athletes’ NIL rights, as participation in intercollegiate athletics should not infringe upon a student-athlete’s right to earn compensation for his/her NIL. The University and GSU Athletics will provide all students with guidelines that govern their ability to be compensated for their NIL rights (the “Guidelines”). STATE

2022 GEORGIA

• It is NOT permissible to have entered into any NIL agreement contingent on you enrolling at GSU

While it is permissible under NIL legislation to sell team-issued gear, any student-athlete wishing to do so should talk to their coaching staff about this PRIOR to selling anything to ensure the gear they wish to sell will no longer be needed.

• It is NOT permissible to enter into any NIL agreement contingent on a performance metric, whether individual (e.g. scoring 10 goals over the course of a season) or team-based (e.g. winning the conference tournament).

NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS NIL POLICY

. Any new student-athletes or returners who have yet to gain access should talk to their Head Coach and/or Communications contact for more information. NIL is NOT pay-for-play for pay-forperformance:
