quote:Alabama fans should keep their mouth shut about Cam and even Jameis. Trent Richardson and numerous other Alabama players have actually been pictured sitting inside a Tuscaloosa business signing stacks of merchandise while they still had eligibility remaining. As other people have pointed out, these players aren't sitting inside a business or hotel room signing stacks of merchandise for free
Winston up to over 3200 autographed items, but he didn't take money. Right kind of sounds like the Cam defense. But, then again, the API defense probably is what won the day.

It doesn't just say sanctions. It says penalized. The school is being penalized by having their top player sit out....I think thats plain to see...

“Each public and private institution of postsecondary education located in this state that participates or engages in intercollegiate athletics shall have a right of action against any person who engages in any activity concerning student-athletes that results in the institution being penalized, disqualified, or suspended from participation in intercollegiate athletics by a national association for the promotion and regulation of intercollegiate athletics, by an athletic conference or other sanctioning body, or by reasonable self-imposed disciplinary action taken by such institution to mitigate sanctions likely to be imposed by such organizations as a result of such activity.
“The institution shall be entitled to recover all damages which are directly related to or which flow from and are reasonably related to such improper activity and to such penalties, disqualifications, and suspensions.
“Damages shall include, but not be limited to, loss of scholarships, loss of television revenue, loss of bowl revenue, and legal and other fees associated with the investigation of the activity and the representation of the institution before the sanctioning organizations in connection with the investigation and resolution of such activity.
“If the institution is the prevailing party in its cause of action, it shall be entitled to an award of court costs, costs of litigation, and reasonable attorney’s fees. The institution may also request and the court may enter an injunction against any person found liable from having any further contact with the institution, its student-athletes, and student-athletes who have expressed or might express an interest in attending the institution and from attending athletic contests, exhibitions, games, or other such events in which one or more of the institution’s student-athletes is participating. The right of action and remedies under this Code section are in addition to all other rights of action which may be available to the institution.”

per a state rep that helped write the law....
quote:
There is a law on the books in Georgia designed to punish anyone who gets a student athlete to do something illegal that in turn causes the school to lose money. The amount of money can be perceived or actual.
"In the law we put it that way," said state representative Chuck Sims. "Because you really don't know how much money they may have gotten if they had to go to the Sun Bowl versus the Rose Bowl."

I know your an Auburn fan, so reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, but just try a little harder or have someone read it for you

That is a law that creates a civil cause of action. There are no charges for the state to bring.
The school could sue the guy, but he is likely judgement proof. Additionally, NYC's point is probably correct based on the way the statute is worded.
Very unlikely that UGA sues, imo.

Actually, I believe we are strongly considering it. Don't be surprised if we go after all of them. They have have caused us to play without the best player in the country.
Once that starts happening, these guys will squeal like pigs too. They are slime and dont care about these athletes to begin with. They will have no problem releasing others names just to see them burn.
Same reason this clown outted Gurley....he felt burnt, so he decided to drop the hammer.
Others will follow.

Georgia would be stupid to even attempt to sue.
Gurley is the one at fault....not Bryan Allen.

The law specifically states the school itself must be penalized, disqualified, or suspended from participation in intercollegiate athletics, not a student. I have only asked what specific penalties did the school receive from the NCAA.

No one is arguing that Gurley is not at fault....

What's the SOL on this? I'm of the camp that I don't think they sue.

Yeah, I cannot imagine any university wanting to have players make statements under oath an I am sure the defense would have quite the subpoena list.

I only wish Gurley's suspension would have covered the Auburn game as well. Not because I am scared of him, but because the Georgia meltdown would have taken down the entire internet
