Mary McElroy says she knows that some refer to Georgia State’s opening months of its fundraising drive for a possible football program as only “baby steps.”
McElroy, Georgia State’s athletic director, also acknowledges that the first small six-figure steps must become bolder seven-figure leaps before the school can commit to a football program.
McElroy said Thursday the school has raised about $400,000 since the campaign was launched in April. That’s only about one-fifth of what she says is a “soft goal” of $2 million to $3 million by fall, when she will report to Georgia State president Carl Patton and other administrators.
