University of Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity recently apologized for meeting rapper Ludacris' long list of demands to play Georgia's "G Day" spring football game.

After the game, a rider was obtained by Macon.com with a list of Ludacris' demands to play the game, which included $65,000 for a 15-minute performance.

According to the Athens Banner-Herald, McGarity apologized at a board meeting, saying, "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."

McGarity reportedly never mentioned Ludacris by name, but to board members, it was clear what he was referring to.

The rider for the performance revealed that Ludacris had a long, absurd list of hospitality demands.
