Some alarming news dropped Tuesday afternoon courtesy of a new spending cap from the Board of Regents that could affect the Georgia Southern Eagles and Georgia State Panthers.
The board, which oversees every large public university in Georgia, passed new rules at a meeting that limit what percentage of athletic department funding can come from student fees.
The cap is different for various levels of athletics. UGA and Georgia Tech are capped at just 10 percent, but both fall well under that limit (ranking at 2.8 and 7.2 percent, respectively, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution).
