The Undersigned
Below is the list of the public signatories who have voiced their opinions on a move to I-A and allowed us to post their commentaries.
| Name | Location | Supporter? | Comments |
| Kirk Wallen | Statesboro, GA | Yes | |
| Craig Cady | Athens, GA | Yes | Why is our AD not taking this move seriously. I feel ashamed and embarrassed at the lack of professionalism by our School and our Athletic Department. What a shame! Only 2 Div 1A schools in Georgia. I bet Georgia State moves up before Georgia Southern, if we do not get this going ASAP!!!! Lets show that WE are the real GSU and show Erk that he and his legacy will live on and grow. We either grow and evolve or we quit all together! |

| Anonymous | Alpharetta, GA | Yes | If there was a program for alumni that was not as expensive for tickets, parking and booster (even if it was maybe like half a season) you would be able to get more alumni to join. Not all of us are making the money to be able to afford this stuff. Keep in mind, eventually the older alumni will not be around and you will need the younger ones no matter how little we can offer. Also...Mailings vs. phone calls and e-mails is a better way not to be blown off by the majority of Alumni. |
| HOLLY MOLTISANTI | ATLANTA, GA | Yes | |
| 3rdEage | Clermont, FL | Yes | The increases I expressed are only to be used if we are slating I-A teams at Paulson Stadium. |
| JayChristopher | Atlanta, GA | Yes | I would only give the $300.00 extra if it was put into a account collecting interest, and only used if we go I-A. If we decide not to go it would have to be reimbursed, yet G.So.U. could keep the interest. |
| eross2 | | Yes | |
| Anonymous | Atlanta, GA | Yes | The time has come for GSU to make the move. The state of GA is loaded with talent and we are well positioned between JAX and ATL. We could immediately successfully compete in the Sun Belt and build the program from there. We have a great young coach that can lead us there....otherwise we will probably lose Hatcher to a major FBS school as OC very soon. If we don't move soon Ga State will pass us in 3-5 years. |

| Stephen Mobley | Atlanta, GA | Yes | |
| Anonymous | Mansfield, GA | Yes | This is something that needs to happen due to the diminishing nature of I-AA (FCS) football. In addition, our current conference (SoCon) is predominately small, private, Carolina-based schools. We need a larger footprint and more exposure for our Athletic program. |
| Soundwayve | Statesboro, GA | Yes | I think with a bigger stadium we would be ready for I-A. |
| Anonymous | Statesboro, GA | Yes | I would be willing for a $200 increase. I mean $28 are you serious, that is so little to even worry about for such a big move. |
| mjohns51 | Pooler, GA | Yes | |
| Lee Spencer | Columbus, GA | Yes | |
| Anonymous | Northport, AL | Yes | Lets make this campaign happen for a Solid Stadium addition. Finish the Horseshoe! |

| Richard Green | Dahlonega, GA | Yes | |
| Bridget Schiller | atlanta, GA | Yes | |
| bdever | | Yes | |
| daniel kimball | atlanta, GA | Yes | I support a study for the move but, have questions that need to be answered.
1) What conferance will we try to become a member in?
2) I would support this better if I-A went to a playoff system where all teams in I-A has a chance to win a Champinship each year, not only the top 30 or 40 teams only. If you cant have a chance to win a champinship why compeate at that level if the best we can ever do is a low bowl game. |
| Hughie Hunt | College Park, MD | Yes | I would be happy to contribute to any campaign that was a serious move to 1-A |
| scottharris1997GSU | Frisco, TX | Yes | |
| brunswickeagle22 | | Yes | It's embaressing that a school the size of GSU has never seriously considered the ramifications of going to FBS. More revenue, more big-name teams in Statesboro, more exposure. With the atheletes available in the southeast region, we should be able to compete with the so-called big boys and eventually become one ourselves. |
| shperrins | Norcross, GA | Yes | Make it happen! |
| David Russell | Washington, GA | No | Let's be able to beat Wofford on a yearly basis, not to mention Furman, before we get all sweaty about trying to be like UGA. Personally, I would rather GSU have a reputation as a school recognized for academics AND athletics as opposed to a struggling D one whipping boy currently known for neither, which is what Marshall has become. |
