They're competing with Savannah State for football players now so this is likely territorial.

Savannah State players packing heat!!!

Overall, the topic was an insight of possibilities and limitations for the Savannah campus.

As for SPORTS, we shall know more in the upcoming years with the classes being offered. If Savannah campus continues to not limit but expand those early Frosh and Soph Core classes then I can envision the Savannah Campus expanding and possibly transitioning in sports like tennis years down the road. If Savannah campus decides to limit those core classes and move more towards Grad study then the Savannah campus will just be a branch of the Statesboro main campus.

Either way, it's a win for Georgia Southern because it allows them to expand their brand while reducing competition of a neighboring University.

Personally, I like the Savannah campus as I've taken classes at Armstrong. It's a nice and safe area of Savannah with abundance amount of shopping and close proximity to I-95. I'd personally hope they expand Savannah campus with traditional Southern classes while offering more Grad level. Giving students the option to attend both campuses is a great thing. In addition, there's many more part time job opportunities in Savannah for students that pay better than Statesboro. I envision advertisement for Georgia Southern to drastically expand along I-95 and Savannah. Lot's of BLUE will come to the area!
