Michael Adams weighs in on gymnastics hire to begin meeting ...

"We think this is a great hire. I'm glad she was willing to move across the country. I want to congratulate Greg (McGarity) and Carla (Williams) on their work there."

UGA athletes men and women combined for 3.05 GPA, up from 2.88

In football, the Dogs are 2.8, up from 2.49 in 2005-06

"The grade trends are really, really good," David Shipley says.

The full board meeting will actually begin at 9:30, by the way.

Executive committee meeting now

Board meeting has now been called to order by Adams.

I would be surprised if football scheduling is discussed today, to answer the question.

Gentry, do you think David Perno and the state of our baseball program was part of this discussion? I don't see how we have any case to get in to a regional on Monday, even though we are technically playing the waiting game. If we don't get in, is Perno fired on Tuesday?

Hopefully we hear something encouraging about Foley Field renovations today. Been hearing talk of that work being done for years now. Way overdue.

McGarity discussing Richt's contract ...

-- Richt's salary "basically stays where it is," per McGarity, at about $2.8 million

-- However, the performance bonuses in Richt's contract will all increase 100 percent, which McGarity says adds "incentive."

McGarity says UGA will learn its 2013 schedule and 2012-13 schedule (as well as future schedules) in football and men's basketball in Destin.

He also says there will be an agenda item in Destin on potentially adding an SEC championship in equestrian, in which UGA is a national power.
