Georgia has scheduled Louisville, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and Appalachian State as future non-conference opponents, athletic director Damon Evans announced Tuesday.

Georgia previously had announced the additions of Colorado (2006 and 2010) and Arizona State (2008 and 2009) to future schedules.

Georgia, which finished the 2005 season with a No. 10 ranking and 10-3 record, plays host to Louisville on Sept. 3, 2011 and will visit Louisville on Sept. 15, 2012.

The other non-conference opponents announced Tuesday will play in Athens, Ga., but will not have return visits from Georgia.

Georgia will play host to Georgia Southern in a season-opening game on Aug. 30, 2008. Western Carolina is scheduled to play in Athens on Sept. 15, 2007, and Appalachian State will visit Sanford Stadium on Sept. 5, 2009.

Georgia has moved a home game with Troy University from Sept. 1, 2007 to Nov. 3, 2007. Georgia has to find a new Sept. 1 opponent for the 2007 schedule.

Georgia opens its 2006 season with a Sept. 2 home game against Western Kentucky.

Olympics

Coach's suspension is upheld by court

Embattled U.S. skeleton coach Tim Nardiello lost his bid Tuesday to be with his Olympics-bound team at this weekend's World Cup competition in Germany.

New York Supreme Court Justice James Dawson upheld Nardiello's suspension and issued his decision by fax one day after the coach went to court in Elizabethtown, N.Y., seeking reinstatement.

Nardiello, placed on paid administrative leave Dec. 31 by the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation after two sexual harassment complaints were made against him, is expected to continue appealing with hopes of coaching the U.S. team at the Turin Olympics in February.

He's scheduled to be interviewed by U.S. Olympic Committee officials later this week. The USOC has the final say on which athletes and coaches compose its delegation for the Turin Games.

United States Ski and Snowboard Association President and CEO Bill Marolt has traveled to Wengen, Switzerland to meet with Miller. McNichol also said that Miller has been testing the team's limits the past two years.
