Gurley returns 11/15

quote:

Todd Gurley, University of Georgia football student-athlete, must sit a total of four games, or 30 percent of the season, for accepting more than $3,000 in cash from multiple individuals


UGA appealing per 247

Interesting - $3,000 is a lot more than $400, so I guess that timeline makes sense. Also, "multiple individuals".

I thought once you gave up your amateur status, you couldn't get it back?

Used to be, they've softened on that though. AJ Green also had to sit 4 games and that was for only $1000 I believe.

Yea, and it was from more than one person.

680 talked about the $400 number like it was fact. Shocking.

I mean, we can debate the NCAA and their rules, but this seems like a pretty fair enforcement of the known rules.

4 games for $3,000 over multiple years seems pretty fair to me in comparison to previous punishments.

Cost him a Heisman and a potential national championship for UGA if we lose to Florida or Kentucky. I bet he feels pretty shitty now.

Guess it would depend on how much someone took. I'm assuming if they take a lot more, it would be enforced. But it's the selectivity of the NCAA that's dangerous.
