Georgia official explains why Richt is skipping Columbus

ATHENS – Georgia’s spring practice ends on Thursday, which means the start of another season: Mark Richt and Mark Fox’s spring speaking tour, to meet and talk to Bulldog fans at various cities.

But not as many cities as before. And at least one of those left out, Columbus, is none too pleased.

Richt and Fox will appear at only seven cities this year, down from the normal 12. And each of this year’s events will also be free. Both moves were made in order to boost what has been dwindling attendance for the tour.
