Georgia Apologizes for Ludacris Deal, Which Cost $65,000 and a Box of Condoms

The Georgia Bulldogs were so desperate to get an entertainment act for their spring football game they were willing to provide just about anything to the performer.

Seriously. Peanut butter and jelly? Absolutely. Wine? Sure thing. Toiletries? Got it. Condoms? No problem.

According to the contract (h/t CBS Sports), Georgia agreed to pay Ludacris $65,000 for a 15-minute performance on April 16. Of course, as with many performers, the rapper had some provisions he wanted on top of the money.

Here's part of the list of things the Bulldogs agreed to provide Ludacris with during his stay in Athens, per the contract: 

• One loaf of whole grain bread, organic creamy peanut butter and organic grape or strawberry jelly.
• One box of Fruit Roll-Ups.
• One bottle of red wine.
• One bottle of white wine.
• Six Hanes large white T-shirts.
• One Crest rechargeable toothbrush and Crest toothpaste.
• One box of Trojan Magnum condoms.

Relatively speaking, paying $65,000 and making a quick trip to the store wasn't anything outrageous for Georgia to do to land an act. However, not everyone was a fan of some of the things the school provided the rapper. For that, the Bulldogs are sorry.

On Thursday, Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity apologized to the athletic board of directors for the school's agreement with Ludacris, per Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald:

"

I do want to take this opportunity to apologize to our board for mistakes we made with certain aspects of the details of an entertainment agreement. Few things in my professional life have bothered me more than this situation. There are no reruns in life so we need to turn the page, learn from our mistakes and do everything we can to make sure errors of this nature do not reoccur.

[...]

We didn’t pay attention to details as much as we should have. That’s my responsibility, regardless of who signs it.

"

Some of the requests were standard for any artists. Certain foods and drinks are well within reason.

Condoms?

Not so much.
