Visit Florida Chief To Resign Following Pitbull Deal


By Orlando Sentinel, Dec. 16, 2016

  1. Maybe it’s time to revisit what The University of Georgia Athletic Association did. Georgia paid the rapper Ludacris and his crew $65,000 for a 15-minute performance for the G-Day spring game. The Georgia athletic association also agreed to stock a box of Trojan Magnum condoms in the room. Georgia also provided local ground transportation provided dinner for at least 10 people + Georgia provided a multitude of items ranging from assorted snacks, six Hanes t-shirts, vodka, cognac, wine, tequila and batteries. I’m not sure I can distinguish which is worse as TALLAHASSEE Florida CEO Will Seccombe and two other top executives paid Miami rapper Pitbull $1 million to market tourism in the state.
