BRACK: For years, acrimony blossomed between UGA and GSU

By Elliott Brack | Back when states were planting institutions of higher learning, these universities were not always located in what became the state’s major city. As a result, problems have arisen between forces in the major city wanting a state university and the major university located in a smaller town wanting to enhance their school’s prestige.

It’s that same old story of jealously, while seeking to keep the state’s university as the major campus of the state.
