Kirby Smart: Recruiting concerns factor in Florida-Georgia neutral site debate

As the home team in Saturday's neutral site game against Florida, No. 1 Georgia can leave tickets at the gate for recruits.

For Georgia coach Kirby Smart, that's not nearly enough to make up for his defending national championship team's inability to host recruits as he would in a true home game.

The annual rivalry game in Jacksonville, Florida, is under contract only through 2023. Smart's recruiting concerns are a big factor in discussions about the future of the series.

Officials from Georgia and Florida released a joint statement Monday in which they said a number of factors would be considered as the schools consider keeping the game at the neutral site or moving to home sites.
