Georgia President Dr Harmon Caldwell and Coach Wallace Butts challenge State Auditor Thrasher’s Dec 20 finding of a loss for the athletic associations. Caldwell says the associations are not state debts and notes $600,000 in state property improvements and a past salary funding gesture to educators.

He offers to resign if employment becomes embarrassing to the university athletic board.
