Advertise on podcast: STATE of Atlanta - Discussing Georgia State Sports

David and Ryan cover everything else from the week in Georgia State football — where the Panthers stand entering Sun Belt play, Georgia Tech backing out of its return trip to Center Parc Stadium, and why Georgia State should be making more noise in conference realignment. They also dig into reports of JMU, UConn and Ohio exploring the American, debate the Protect College Sports Act and its rules around coaching changes, transfers and NIL, and somehow end up questioning whether Ohio is even a real place.
