Whereas the University of Georgia is one of the largest universities in the southeast; and

 Whereas the University's current soccer clubs, both men's and women's, are top-ranked in the southeast; and

 Whereas soccer is one of the fastest growing sports in the southeast; and

 Whereas the students of the University would support a soccer program; and

 Whereas the cost of starting a varsity soccer program would be minimal;

 Be it therefore resolved, that the Student Government Association of the University of Georgia, after researching varsity soccer programs at other schools, proposes that the Georgia Athletic Association recognize soccer as a varsity sport.

 We, the Student Government Association, recognize the policy stating that the Georgia Athletic Association will not recognize any sport as a varsity sport unless the SEC recognizes that sport as a varsity sport. We request that you make an exception for soccer.
