If they asked Todd did you do it, and he says yes...The next step to protect your university, the other 80+ players, and your season would be to notify the NCAA. You just can't risk vacating wins and the like. THAT would be a real black eye for the program imo.

Hopefully, he admitted to just the $400 and this will be cleared up by next week. We can beat Mizzou and Arky w/o him.

Crow, I get what you are saying. But the main fact is that what he did was wrong, whether the rule is stupid or not. He knew the consequences going into it, yet he chose to do it any way, damn the consequences for him or the team.

But, unless a parent is a total deadbeat who thinks rules don't apply, the majority of the parents could also look at this as a punishment for breaking the rules. It all depends on one's mindset. Some care, some don't.

I completely agree with that. Once the university knew, they had to report it. I can't argue with them reporting it at all. Just thought maybe they were a little faster and strategizing about it. That being said, it's starting to sound like that's definitely not the case.

I don't think the concern is so much "will the program lie for him and sweep everything under the rug?" as much as it is "will they do everything they can to support him and, within the rules (even if creativity is inviolved), get him back out there as fast as they can."

Taken from another thread on here:

quote:

For a total of 500 items signed at $8-$25 a piece. If $2000 constitues a 4 game suspension, one might then assume, based on the numbers above, that Todd Gurley has played his last down at UGA. We can all hippie that over the next four weeks we fight to bring him back for Auburn, but it doesn't look good right now. Complicating matters is the fact that UGA is days away from going in front of the NCAA to attest for violations under the swimming program. The last thing we need is this becoming an institutional control issue. Thus, in part, why we acted so quickly on Gurley. I'm also learning the evidence against him is pretty overwhelming. It appears Gurley simply got greedy and very careless. Sorry to report on what is clearly one of the saddest days in Georgia football history. Man o man, what could have been.


If this is true, no arguments can be made against the school.

Really? By administrator I'm assuming you mean McGarity,correct?

Yes,thank God he didn't condone or cover up for athletes while a UF...he knew NOTHING of the multiple falied drug test,sexual assults,regular assutls,skipped classes and practices by Urban Myers crew of thugs.

He was just a little ole asst AD and all these reports were either way over his head or just never made it to his desk.

At least we're not at that level.

Incorrect. I mean the highest levels of University Administration. Decisions like this go beyond the athletic department, and they should. If the administration turns a blind eye to cheating, by athletes or coaches, then you eventually have what happened at Penn State University. Corruption is not self healing, somebody has to say "that's not acceptable".

And BTW, I seriously doubt assistant AD McGarity had any power to make decisions regarding discipline at Florida. Those decisions were made at a higher level and his only recourse if he disagreed was to leave. Going to the media would have turned into a massive legal battle from multiple angles.

So Mcgarity is absent from the loop on administrative decisions about athletes and
the athletic dept? He had nothing to do with
this incident and decision?

You really want to stick with that statement?

So are you OK with what McGarity did while at UF?

Why didn't he?He was a capable man with a good resume...could've got a job at multiple places.

No, instead he turned a blind eye and road the job til a better one came open.

I'm wondering if they knew the only evidence would be him fessing up to it and sitting the 2 games.



Has to be. Otherwise it doesn't really make sense to sit him and then hope for the NCAA to make a quick investigation. The suspension would have been longer than the penalty.
