| Return Reference | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Form 990, Part I, Line 6 Volunteers | The University of Georgia Athletic Association has volunteer coaches for some of its teams and volunteer workers in various departments. Nine Board members also serve as volunteers. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services | (Expenses $ 85,717,309 including grants of $ 12,079,819)(Revenue $ 101,885,462) Other college athletic sports, along with their associated revenue streams from contributions, SEC/NCAA distributions, media, licensing and student fees. |
| Form 990, Part V, Line 2a Form W-3 | The University of Georgia Athletic Association has historically reported all Forms W-2 that it issues under its employer identification number and it continues to do so for purposes of transparency and consistency; however, the University of Georgia Athletic Association issues 77 Forms W-2 to individuals who perform services related to the University of Georgia's athletics programs and who are the common law employees of the University of Georgia, not University of Georgia Athletic Association . The University of Georgia Athletic Association issues Forms W-2 to such individuals because it controls and pays some or all of their wages through agreements between University of Georgia Athletic Association and the University of Georgia. Thus, the University of Georgia Athletic Association is a "statutory employer" under section 3401(d)(1) even though the recipients of such Forms W-2 are not the common law employees of the University of Georgia Athletic Association under section 3121(d). |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body | Form 990 is provided to board members prior to the filing deadline with sufficient lead-time to allow the board members to review it. The University of Georgia's controller reviews it before the draft form 990 is sent to the tax manager with an independent accounting firm for review and signature. The Managing Director with the independent accounting firm also attends the finance committee meeting to review the form 990 and answer questions. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | Primary monitoring of conflict of interest is done through the completion of a form by board members, officers, and key employees of the University of Georgia Athletic Association requesting disclosure of all related entities and transactions. Any conflicts noted are discussed and appropriate action taken. If a conflict is confirmed, a plan for alleviating or managing the conflict is implemented. Individuals with potential conflicts may be asked to recuse and absent themselves from meetings in which an alleged conflict is discussed if so doing would better assure the integrity of the process. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | The athletic director's salary is recommended by the president of the University of Georgia. The salary recommendation is then reviewed and approved by the board of directors. Salaries are routinely compared to national averages. The executive associate athletic directors' salaries are set by benchmarking in the market (compared in conference and nationally). Compensation for key employees is determined by comparing data or benchmarking both in the SEC and Nationally. Salaries are reviewed by the athletic director for final determination. Officers of the University of Georgia Athletic Association board of directors are employed by the University of Georgia and are compensated for the role performed for the University of Georgia Athletic Association by the University of Georgia. Salaries have routinely been compared to national averages. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees | See Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a summary. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public | The University of Georgia Athletic Association website advises interested parties that governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request. |
| Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1a Officers, Trustees, Key Employees, and Highest Comp Employees | The University of Georgia Athletic Association provides financial support to the University of Georgia athletic programs. Through agreements with the University of Georgia, certain "athletics personnel" who are common law employees of the University of Georgia provide support to the University of Georgia Athletic Association. The University of Georgia Athletic Association has no employees of its own. The University of Georgia Athletic Association has no right to hire, fire or discipline athletics personnel. All athletics personnel are hired by the University and can be fired only by the University. In the case of certain senior athletics personnel, the University, the University of Georgia Athletic Association and the individual have entered into agreements whereby compensation is paid for their athletic program services directly by the University of Georgia Athletic Association under the terms agreed to by the parties. Thus, the University of Georgia Athletic Association controls payments of wages for individuals who are the common law employees of the University and the University of Georgia Athletic Association reports such wages as a "statutory employer" under the Internal Revenue Code requirements rather than as a common law employer of the individuals. In the interests of transparency and full disclosure, the University of Georgia Athletic Association reports information regarding key personnel in Part VII and Schedule J as if they were the employees of the Association. Such reporting is not intended to indicate that such individuals are common law employees of the University of Georgia Athletic Association. The University of Georgia retains all authority to hire and fire such individuals. |
| Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1a Officers, Trustees, Key Employees, and Highest Comp Employees | Individuals who are the named officers of the University of Georgia Athletic Association are common law employees of the University of Georgia. As officers, they perform services solely to the University of Georgia; accordingly, the University of Georgia Athletic Association has concluded that the officers are not the common law employees of the University of Georgia Athletic Association consistent with Treas. Reg. §31.3121(d)-1(b), which provides that an officer of a corporation who as such does not perform any services or performs only minor services and who neither receives nor is entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, any remuneration is considered not to be an employee of the corporation. |
