Georgia Fans Better Hope Rick Jackson Wins, Because Keisha Lance Bottoms Could Become Kirby Smart’s Worst Nightmare

ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia football has spent the better part of the last decade building one of college football’s most powerful recruiting machines. Kirby Smart has the facilities, the fan base, the championships and, most importantly, the money. But Bulldogs fans might want to pay attention to Georgia’s governor’s race. The next person in the governor’s mansion could have an indirect impact on the economic environment surrounding the state’s most valuable football program. And if Keisha Lance Bottoms wins, some Georgia fans might start worrying about the NIL budget.
