re: NCAA and little Johnny football

The way I remember it was..... Richt held AJ out the first two games on his own because the NCAA had not made a ruling yet. It was a smart move. He was hoping that after game two....if the NCAA had ruled a two game suspension, then he'd have already served his penalty.

But, the NCAA ruled for a 4 game suspension, so the first two games factored in to that......and he only had to sit out 2 more games.

Still a smart move by Richt because of the schedule. Better to have him out against the cupcake opener and usc than Big games in middle of season.
