Was it worth the cost?


Via public records, the Telegraph in Macon reports that the university paid the rapper $65,000 to perform for 15 minutes, provided dinner for $40 per person for 10 people, and abided by this rider list:

In Ludacris’ dressing room for the event, Georgia provided a multitude of items ranging from assorted snacks, six Hanes t-shirts, vodka, cognac, wine, tequila and batteries. The athletic association also agreed to stock a box of Trojan Magnum condoms in the room.

I'm gonna go on a limb and tell you that I'm not certain the UGAAD actually provided all of those because I know we didn't when I was at UGA working with these types of events. From my other post on the SECRant:

Allow me to give you an example. I was involved in Luda's last show at UGA for homecoming in 2010. Here's all you need to know about what was paid and requested in the rider then. I thought I recalled it being about the same and it's pretty much unchanged for the most part.

The more things change...
