He's a big part of the reason that a full size one is about to get built. He went spouting off to the media about it, and the boosters and fans turned their guns on McGarity and the administration.

Has something else come out since December when McGarity sidestepped the issue? Last I saw it was just, we'll get around to it eventually.

McGarity wouldn’t say that Georgia will have an indoor facility in five years, but Richt and McGarity have talked about the subject recently when the Bulldogs had to go indoors. McGarity said he would look further into it.

“The ball’s moving but there’s no timetable or promises or anything other than if we were to do it where would it be and how much would it cost,” McGarity said.

“I know a lot of people say they would love to contribute,” McGarity said. “If we do that, let’s see who will step up (for an indoor facility). Everybody says there are thousands that would love to, but when it comes time to write the check or to make that happen … I think the perception is that we print money around here and that’s not really the case. We do have a healthy reserve (around $70 million), but I think what people have to understand is we have $120 million in debt.”
