Vince Dooley the head football coach and athletic director at the University of Georgia said be was very pleased and quite surprised that it passed with such an overwhelming majority based on some of the conversations i be had with people who have expressed concern Over it because of constitutional rights individual it s much needed and if anything it s a year late Dooley said.

Borne by the schools involved and in the Case of bowl games shared by the bowls them selves. The Mcaa estimates the Cost of the program during 19s6-h7 will be s310,000.
