That stemmed from an Oct. 17 violation when a non-coaching staff member gave a $50 loan to a recruit’s parent to complete a purchase. The parent said he would repay the loan but the staff member failed to collect the repayment when the family hurried to leave campus for a flight.

Georgia stopped recruiting the player and the staff member was barred from recruiting activities for 90 days.

Another violation dated Sept. 17 — the weekend of the South Carolina home game — involved a recruit staying two nights in the off-campus apartment of a current player. The current player received rules education.

Georgia also reported a violation from Oct. 2 — when it had a home game against Arkansas — that involved a recruit and his mother staying at the house of a non-coaching athletic staff member who is a longtime friend of the mother.
