Greg McGarity, athletic director of the University of Georgia, has apologized for the terms of the contract with Ludacris (at right), a rapper who performed at the university's spring football game, The Athens Banner-Herald reported. Speaking at a meeting of the athletics department's board, McGarity said that “I do want to take this opportunity to apologize to our board for mistakes we made with certain aspects of the details of an entertainment agreement." The comment was a reference to the contract with Ludacris. He was paid $65,000 for a 13-minute performance. But much of the criticism has focused not just on the fee, but on all of the items that the contract required the university to provide Ludcris, including six Hanes t-shirts, two bottles each of cognac and vodka, one bottle each of red and white wine, two cases of Snapple and a box of condoms. Deadspin published the full list.
