Georgia State vs. UConn

After opening the season with a 42-35 victory over Rhode Island, Georgia State hosts its second straight home game as UConn visits Center Parc Stadium on Saturday.

After opening the season with a 42-35 victory over Rhode Island, Georgia State hosts its second straight home game as UConn visits Center Parc Stadium Saturday at 7 p.m. on ESPN+.

Senior running back Marcus Carroll rushed for a career-high 184 yards and three touchdowns in the opener. That is the fourth-highest figure in the nation after Week 1 as well as the fourth-best single-game in GSU history.

Super senior quarterback Darren Grainger

was very effective and efficient in the opener, completing 16-of-20 passes for 193 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Grainger, who completed his first 14 passes, also added 51 yards rushing .

Grainger is a third-year starter who was named to the preseason watch lists for the Maxwell Award and Manning Award. Last fall, Grainger passed for 2,443 yards and 18 touchdowns while completing 58.6 percent of his passes, ranking second in the Sun Belt and No. 10 in FBS with 14.04 yards per

GAME PREVIEW GEORGIASTATESPORTS.COM 6

completion. He was also GSU’s leading rusher with 734 yards (No. 9 in Sun Belt) and six touchdowns, making him third in the Sun Belt in total offense (264.8 ypg).

Grainger’s top target is junior Robert Lewis, who had seven catches for 97 yards, including a 39-yard TD. Lewis has caught eight touchdowns in his last 10 games. Lewis also had 110 yards on five kickoff returns for a total of 207 all-purpose yards to rank No. 4 in FBS in that category.

GSU’s top offensive lineman is super senior left tackle Travis Glover, a Preseason FirstTeam All-Sun Belt selection who has 46 career starts. Glover is one of five Panthers named to the Preseason All-Sun Belt team, along with four second-team selections, all on defense: DE Javon Denis, LB Jontrey Hunter, LB Jordan Veneziale and CB Bryquice Brown.

One of Georgia State’s offensive trademarks under head coach Shawn Elliott has been balance. In addition to ranking No. 14 in FBS

in rushing (213.5 ypg) in 2022, GSU was one of just 18 FBS programs to average at least 200 yards rushing and passing (203.6 ypg).

The Panthers are opening the season with two straight home games for the first time since 2014.

Georgia State and UConn are meeting for the first time. UConn is coming off a 24-14 loss to NC State. The Huskies are coached by former Atlanta Falcons head coach Jim Mora.

MAKING A SPLASH

In his Georgia State debut, cornerback Gavin Pringle delivered the key defensive play of the Panthers’ season-opening win over Rhode Island with his pick-six, a 21-yard interception return for a touchdown

After Georgia State tied the game at 28-all, Pringle’s big play came with 1:50 left in the third quarter and gave the Panthers a 35-28 lead they would not relinquish. Georgia State won 42-35 over the Rams, a nationally-ranked FCS program. Pringle also contributed four tackles and a pass breakup in the victory.

The Baltimore, Md., native joined the GSU program in June as a graduate transfer from Bucknell, where he was a three-time all-conference selection in the Patriot League.

MORE ON MARCUS

Marcus Carroll showed that he is ready to carry the load for the Georgia State rushing attack with his career-high 184 yards and three touchdowns vs. Rhode island.

In the fourth quarter alone, he rushed for 94 yards on just eight carries. After rallying to take a 35-28 lead, Georgia State faced 3rd-and-2 at their own 25 when Carroll broke through the line and raced 63 yards to down the 12, then finished the job on the next play with a 12-yard TD run for a 42-28 advantage with eight minutes left. Carroll also delivered a 23-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 28-all in the third quarter, as well as a 9-yard scoring run in the first quarter.

After playing behind Tucker Gregg (GSU career rushing leader with ) and Jamyest Williams the last three years, Carroll had his breakout game with a 163 yards and three touchdowns last season at Southern Miss.

Beginning with that Southern Miss game, he has achieved two of the Panthers’ top five totals over his last five games. Over those five games, he has averaged 102.6 yards per game while scoring eight touchdowns. Carroll now has 970 career rushing yards as he looks to become the 12th 1,000-yard rusher in program history.

CENTER PARC STADIUM

HOME OF THE GEORGIA STATE PANTHERS

GEORGIASTATESPORTS.COM 16

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 early 2017.

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

SHAWN ELLIOTT

2017 – PRESENT

In 26 seasons as a Division I coach, Elliott has been part of 22 winning seasons, 20 teams that reached the NCAA playoffs or a bowl game, and three consecutive NCAA FCS titles from 2005-07.

Now in his seventh season as head coach, Shawn Elliott continues to produce firsts for the Georgia State football program.

A coaching veteran who brought 20 years of experience in winning programs, Elliott was introduced as Georgia State’s third head football coach by then-President Dr. Mark Becker and Director of Athletics Charlie Cobb on Dec. 9, 2016. He came to GSU after highly successful stints at South Carolina, where he served as the

co-offensive coordinator, offensive line coach and interim head coach, and Appalachian State, where he coached the offensive line.

In 26 seasons as a Division I coach, Elliott has been part of 22 winning seasons, 20 teams that reached the NCAA playoffs or a bowl game, and three consecutive NCAA FCS titles from 2005-07.

That success has continued at Georgia State, where Elliott has led the Panthers to bowl games and winning seasons in four of his six years in Atlanta, including the first three bowl victories in program history.

Not surprisingly for a long-time offensive line coach, Elliott has built the Georgia State program by establishing one of the nation’s most productive rushing attacks. Over the last four seasons, the Panthers have averaged 221 yards rushing per game, a figure that ranks No. 8 in the nation during that time period.

That rushing productivity was evident in 2022 as the Panthers ranked No. 14 in FBS, led by senior Tucker Gregg, who became the program’s career leader with 2,265 yards.

The 2022 Panthers also ranked No. 11 in FBS with a school-record 25 turnovers forced.

Elliott’s 2021 squad won seven of its last eight games to set the program record with eight victories. The Panthers achieved their third straight winning season at 8-5 while earning Georgia State’s third straight bowl berth, also firsts in program history. GSU capped the season with a resounding 51-20 victory over Ball State in the TaxAct Camellia Bowl to win back-to-back bowl games for the first time.

After facing one of the toughest schedules in the Group of Five, Georgia State fought back from a 1-4 start to set the school-record for wins and establish a program record for Sun Belt Conference victories with a 6-2 mark, good for second place in the East Division.

The 2021 team achieved another milestone with the program’s first win over a nationally-ranked opponent as the Panthers knocked off No. 21 Coastal Carolina 42-20 on the road.

GSU averaged 226.4 rushing yards per game to rank No. 8 in FBS, along with an aggressive defense that set school records with 38 sacks and 92 tackles for loss. Thirteen Panthers were named to the 2021 All-Sun Belt Conference team, and following the season, offensive guard Shamarious Gilmore and tight end Roger Carter, one of Elliott’s first recruits, signed NFL free agent contracts.

Elliott and his staff navigated the unique challenges of 2020 to steer the Panthers to a winning season, capped by a victory in the LendingTree Bowl, marking the first backto-back winning records and bowl berths in school history.

The 2020 Panthers featured another prolific offense that averaged a school-

record 33.3 points per game and an opportunistic defense that ranked in the top 10 in the nation in sacks with 35 and turnovers forced with 21. A program-record 14 individuals earned All-Sun Belt honors.

The 2019 season began with another major first for the Georgia State program as Elliott’s Panthers earned a dominating 3830 victory over Tennessee at Neyland Stadium for the school’s first win over a Power 5 opponent.

Elliott was named the Dodd Trophy National Coach of the Week, and his Panthers were recognized as the FWAA Reveal Suits National Team of the Week. That is the third time that Elliott has been part of the National Team of the Week; his Appalachian State team was recognized for its 2007 victory at Michigan and his South Carolina squad for its 2010 win over No. 1 Alabama.

The win over Tennessee launched a record-setting 2019 season as the Panthers won seven games in the regular season for the first time and achieved their best home record with a 5-1 mark.

The 2019 team set numerous team and individual records, most notably establishing new season standards for points, touchdowns, rushing yards and total offense.

Following the regular-season, 10 Panthers were named to the 2019 All-Sun Belt squad, and the team earned a berth in the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl.

Despite taking over a Georgia State program playing just its eighth season of football in 2017, Elliott not only guided GSU to a bowl game in his first year at the helm, but he led the Panthers to their first bowl victory, 27-17 over Western Kentucky in the AutoNation Cure Bowl. That win gave the program a then-school record seven victories in Elliott’s first season.

The 2017 GSU defense set season records for fewest points allowed per game, and fewest rushing yards allowed per game (136.4). The defense also recorded the first shutout in school history. On offense, the Panthers established new marks, since broken, for highest completion percentage (64.2) and fewest interceptions (9) in a season, as well as most total yards in a game (670) and most points vs. an FBS opponent (47).

Nine Panthers earned All-Sun Belt honors in 2017. Senior cornerback Chandon Sullivan shined in the classroom and on the field as Georgia State’s first football Academic AllAmerican and the first Panther to be invited to the Reese’s Senior Bowl. Sullivan, one of three 2017 seniors to sign NFL free agent contracts, is entering his sixth NFL season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After inheriting a seniordominated roster for his first season, Elliott’s second campaign proved to be a rebuilding year as the Panthers were forced to play numerous freshmen. Still, there were many positives during the 2018 season. First-year quarterback Dan Ellington passed for more than 2,000 yards, led the team in rushing and set a school record for fewest interceptions.

Punter Brandon Wright ranked No. 3 in FBS in punting average and net while setting the Sun Belt record at 48.3 yards per kick. The Ray Guy Award semifinalist was GSU’s first semifinalist for a major college football award.

Standout receiver Penny Hart finished his career ranked fourth in Sun Belt history in receiving yards and eighth in receptions. He signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts, as did linebacker Chase Middleton. Hart is now with the Atlanta Falcons.

Before taking over the Georgia State program, Elliott worked seven seasons (201016) at South Carolina under Will Muschamp and Steve Spurrier, highlighted by three consecutive 11-win seasons from 2011-13 during the most successful run in the Gamecocks’ history. In addition to coaching the offensive line, he was the running game coordinator in 2010 and 2011, was elevated to co-offensive coordinator in 2012, and then served as the interim head coach following Spurrier’s retirement midway through the 2015 season.

Elliott originally joined the South Carolina staff in 2010 and helped the Gamecocks reach five straight bowl games while coaching some of the most prolific and balanced offenses in school history. The Gamecocks turned in the program’s best offensive season, statistically, in 2013, averaging 34.1 points while rolling up a

GEORGIASTATESPORTS.COM 22 HEAD COACH

school-record 452.3 yards per game.

South Carolina’s 2014 unit scored nearly 33 points per game while averaging over 440 yards of offense as All-America and AllSoutheastern Conference offensive guard A.J. Cann paved the way. In 2010, Elliott’s first season in Columbia, his offensive line blocked for record-setting running back Marcus Lattimore, the National Freshman of the Year.

In addition to Cann, a third-round draft pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2015, Elliott developed future NFL linemen Corey Robinson, Ronald Patrick, Brandon Shell, T.J. Johnson and Rokevious Watkins.

Before going to South Carolina in 2010, Elliott coached his entire career at Appalachian State, his alma mater. In 13 seasons there, he was an integral part of App State’s three consecutive NCAA titles from 2005-07 as well as the Mountaineers’ historic upset at Michigan in 2007.

Beginning in 1997, he worked two seasons as a defensive assistant (1997-98) and then two seasons as the tight ends coach (1999-00) before taking over the offensive line in 2001.

In nine seasons as the Mountaineers’ offensive line coach, Elliott’s players earned All-America distinction on 12 occasions, including four different linemen who received first-team All-America accolades. He also coached All-American and future NFL tight end Daniel Wilcox in 2000. In 2003, offensive lineman Wayne Smith was the first pick in the Canadian Football League Draft. From 2005-07, Elliott coached three-consecutive Southern Conference Jacobs Blocking Trophy recipients.

Elliott helped lead the Mountaineers to 10 NCAA playoff berths in 13 seasons with two trips to the national semifinals and three appearances in the quarterfinals in addition to the three championships.

He was one of three App State coaches to earn the NCAA’s Award of Valor for their efforts in rescuing two individuals from an automobile accident in 2000.

The two head coaches under whom Elliott spent the bulk of his time as an assistant coach, Spurrier at South Carolina and Jerry Moore at Appalachian State, are both enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.

Elliott was the first player in Mountaineer annals to appear in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs four separate seasons. He was a fouryear letterwinner, helping the Mountaineers to two Southern Conference titles and a combined record of 36-16. He served as a cocaptain of the 1995 Appalachian State squad that finished 12-1 while earning all-league distinction as a defensive end.

A native of Camden, S.C., Elliott earned his bachelor’s degree from Appalachian State in 1996. He is married to the former Summer Scruggs, also an App State grad and a standout tennis player for the Mountaineers, and the couple has two children, Maddyn and Max.

CHARLIE COBB 2014 – PRESENT

Cobb is focused on building a ‘Culture of Success’ at Georgia State based on five themes: Academic Achievement, Competitive Greatness, Ethical Behavior, Social Responsibility, and Community Engagement.

Charlie Cobb enters 10th ninth year at the helm of the Georgia State Department of Athletics and 19th as a Division I athletic director, leading a transformation for the program throughout campus and the city of Atlanta.

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 Achievement, Competitive 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. Georgia State has received the Sun Belt’s Institutional Graduation

Award twice under his tenure, and Panther student-athletes have consistently maintained a department-wide grade point average of well over 3.0, including a program-record 3.40 in spring 2020. Most recently the department achieved a 3.27 GPA for the 2022-23 academic year.

Cobb currently serves on the NCAA Division I Council and was recently a member of the College Football Playoff (CFP) Management Committee.

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. The impressive year featured the men’s basketball program’s fourth

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR GEORGIASTATESPORTS.COM 54

NCAA berth in eight years, football’s second consecutive bowl win, a top six NCAA finish for the beach volleyball program and NCAA appearances in men’s soccer and tennis.

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 began play in the new Georgia State University Convocation Center, and new baseball and softball stadiums are next within the Summerhill footprint. 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.

Before returning to Atlanta in September 2014, Cobb spent nine years as the Director of Athletics at Appalachian State. Previously he worked for six years honing his business acumen with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-FilA Peach Bowl, and the Georgia Dome, before returning to his alma mater, NC State, for 7 years. His leadership helped build and maintain a high-performing program at App State. The Mountaineers won three consecutive Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) national championships, the first three-peat in FCS history. 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 sevenstory 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 55-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. As a senior center, he was named to the All-ACC second team and was an AllACC academic selection throughout his career. He was awarded the prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference’s Jim Tatum Award, which recognizes the senior football player with the highest GPA, in 1990.

Cobb and his wife, Lindsay, have a son and daughter, 25-year-old Harrison, a graduate of both Hampden-Sydney College and Ohio University, where he earned a dual Master of Business Administration and Sports Administration, and 22-year-old Branan, a Centre College graduate and current graduate student at Vanderbilt University. Lindsay Cobb was an All-ACC goalkeeper for the NC State women’s soccer team from 1987-90 and is currently an assistant women’s soccer coach at Emory University.

The Georgia State Panther Band is in its 14th year of existence and serves as an integral part of campus life.  Referred to as “the Sound of Downtown,” the Panther Band performs a pre-game show at all home games, and halftime shows at games they attend.  In addition to football games, the band performs at university and community events, as well as high school marching band exhibitions.

The Georgia State University Panther Band has a distinguished history of performance.  Founded in 2010 along with the University’s football team, the Panther Band has quickly made a name for itself performing for live, televised, and motion picture audiences. Rated by its peers as one of the best college marching bands in the country, the Panther Band was ranked among the top-ten bands in the nation by the College Band Directors National Association in 2013 and the top-five among the Southern Division in 2012, 2016 and 2020. In 2014, the band entertained millions along the streets of New York and on television as it participated in the 88th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. In 2013, the Panther Band proudly marched through Washington, D.C. playing the music of James Brown during the inauguration of President Barack Obama. In 2019, the Panther Band performed for over 100 million viewers as part of the Super Bowl LIII Pepsi Halftime Show. In 2022, the Panther Band performed down the streets of

Pasadena, Calif., in the Tournament of Roses parade. The Panther Band has proven itself as a band that truly entertains.

The Panther Band is under the direction of Adam F. Dalton, Georgia State’s director of athletic bands, and T. Devin Reid, assistant director of bands. To learn more about the Panther Band visit pantherband.gsu.edu.

SPIRIT SQUADS 2023 GEORGIA STATE FOOTBALL 59

NCAA COMPLIANCE

Sun Belt Conference, and Georgia State University rules and regulations.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Georgia State University Athletics Compliance Office provides a comprehensive compliance and monitoring program that promotes knowledge of and adherence to NCAA, Sun Belt Conference and institutional rules and regulations among members of the Department of Athletics, Georgia State University personnel and members of the athletics community, thereby reducing infractions.

REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETICS INTERESTS

A “representative of Georgia State’s athletic interests,” or booster is anyone who:

• Has ever participated in or is currently a member of the Panther Athletic Club.

• Has made a donation to the athletics program;

• Has helped arrange for summer and/or vacation employment for student-athletes or provided benefits to enrolled student-athletes;

• Has assisted in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes;

• Has been involved, in any way, in the promotion of Georgia State’s athletic program.

RECRUITING

Only coaches and athletic department staff can be involved in the recruiting process. Athletics representatives are prohibited from contacting a prospective student-athlete or members of his/her family by telephone, email, text message, etc., or in person, for the purpose of encouraging participation

in athletics at Georgia State. Please contact the coaching staff if you know of a prospect that may have the interest and ability to participate in intercollegiate athletics. The coach can then take appropriate action.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE

A prospective student-athlete is a person who has started classes for the ninth (9th) grade. In addition, a student-athlete who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution provides such an individual (or the individual’s relatives or friends) any financial assistance or other benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students generally.

EXTRA BENEFITS

An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests to provide a studentathlete or his/her family a benefit not authorized by NCAA legislation. Extra benefits would include, but are not limited to:

• Cash or loans in any amount;

• Co-signing or arranging a loan;

• Gifts or free services (e.g., airline ticket, restaurant meals, clothing, etc.);

• Use of an automobile;

• Rent-free or reduced-cost housing;

• Money for, or a guarantee of, bail or bond;

• Employment of a student-athlete at a rate higher than the wages paid for similar work; and/or

• Payment to a student-athlete for work not performed.

COMPLIANCE GEORGIASTATESPORTS.COM 60
The Georgia State University Department of Athletics is committed and obligated to the principle of institutional control in operating its athletics program in a manner that is consistent with the letter and spirit of NCAA,

GSU BOOSTER COMPLIANCE DO’S and DO NOT’S

• Meal MUST be at your home, on-campus, or in a facility normally used for GSU Athletic Events

• 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.

• Contact the GSU Compliance Office with any questions you may have about your involvement with prospects or information regarding NIL.

NCAA REPORTING

Your commitment to helping Georgia State comply with the letter and the spirit of the rules and regulations of the Sun Belt Conference and the NCAA is greatly appreciated. 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.

DO NOT’S

• Make contact (e.g., in-person contact, telephone calls, electronic communication, written correspondence) with the student-athlete of another four-year collegiate institution about transferring to GSU.

The Compliance Office will investigate any alleged NCAA violations and determine if a violation has occurred. If it is determined that a violation has occurred, the Compliance Office will notify the Director of Athletics, supervisor, and coach (if applicable) in order to begin the process of selfreporting the violation to either the Sun Belt Conference and/or NCAA, depending on the classification of the violation.

2023 GEORGIA STATE FOOTBALL 61

NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS NIL POLICY

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 Eligibility.”

Student-athletes may 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”).

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

• 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.

• 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 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:

• 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).
