You mean to tell me that players can't even sell their own possessions on the open market to make a little extra spending cash? What about if he wanted to sell his car, his bike, a PS3, etc. Does the buyer of those items qualifies as an agent as well?

One of Hitler's armored vehicles went for over $800,000 at auction... Did that make him inelligible?

Technically the jerseys don't belong to the players thay are the property of the university. So he was selling something that didn't belong to him to profit off of his name and UGA so there's the problem.

If he sold his ps3 for $20,000 plus agency rights, I think the buyer would indeed qualify as an agent.

It invalidated his status as an amateur athlete.

Jersey belongs to the University of Georgia...so yes he can't sell property that doesnt belong to him.

He should be suspended, but the inconsistency of the NCAA never fails...
Dareus got more "benefits" but less punishment. UGA needs to use this as their example in the appeal.
