There's nothing official out there yet, but it looks like Georgia may have found its 12th opponent for next year's football schedule. UGASports.com says the Dawgs may get Central Michigan after they reportedly pulled out of their deal with Mississippi State to play in Starkville next year. Josh Kendall notes that the Dawgs are "close to finalizing a deal" with the Chippewas for either the open date before the South Carolina game or the Tennessee game. It sounds like we are getting this game because we agreed to give Central Michigan more money than State.With Arizona State as our major non-conference and non-Nerd game next year, it makes sense for us to schedule a gimme game. But, when people say that college players shouldn't be paid, this is exhibit one of why they should. The Chippewa players are basically being held out as lambs to slaughter by the highest bidder. They ought to see a bit of that cash, even if only a little bit.
