A question for Kleinlein
032713 GSU SUN BELT MOVE 04 WEB
Georgia Southern athletic director Tom Kleinlein tells a full house at the Williams Center on campus that Georgia Southern will no longer be mistaken for a "Division-II athletic program" with the move to the Sun Belt Conference during a press conference, in this Wednesday, March 27, file photo.
Now that Georgia Southern is in transition to the Football Bowl Subdivision, the program’s athletic director keeps hearing the same question. “Why?” Tom Kleinlein took over the job full time in January, and at least twice a week since then, he’s been answering that question at speaking engagements across the state of Georgia and beyond.
