Georgia Institute of Technology. Athletic Association
Biographical notes:
The Georgia Tech Athletic Association is a non-profit corporation responsible for overseeing the university's participation in intercollegiate sports. It is governed by a Board of Trustees made of three alumni, three students, seven faculty members, with the head of the institution presiding over the group. The Athletic Association was started in January of 1901 to raise money for the university's fledgling sports program. Its first goal was to reinstate the Georgia Tech football team, which had been disbanded the previous year after a winless 1900 season. When the group was incorporated in 1902, its first fundraising activity was to sell 400 shares of five dollar stock. Since then, the Athletic Association has been responsible for raising funds for all of Georgia Tech's athletic teams and provides and maintains the facilities for its athletic programs.
