SI.com has learned that a person confirmed to Georgia’s compliance office this week that he paid Gurley $400 to sign 80 items on campus in Athens, Ga., one day this past spring. The person claimed to have a photo and video of Gurley signing the items, but neither the photo nor the video showed money changing hands. NCAA rules require schools to immediately declare a player ineligible if they discover a violation has been committed. Schools may then apply for the player’s reinstatement. Reached by text message on Thursday afternoon, Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity declined comment.



I'm sure he signed those items out of the goodness of his own heart.

Just like Johnny Football.

So here's the gist of the matter.

UGA, instead of lawyering up like Texas AM and Auburn, and daring the NCAA to prove it, says Gurley you're suspended.

Props to UGA.

Rumors floating around that the guy that photoshopped the video and snitched has been identified (although no one has released his name). Have heard he's a UF fan and or alum. If true, and the name is released, he needs to get out of Georgia posthaste. Pathetic if true. Again, just conjecture at this point, as I haven't seen a name.

These things happen every year. Media loves drama, but this is nothing new. NCAA should consider having the schools take control of autograph process. Star players could sign stuff for the school and receive up to 1000 dollars a month in royalties after deducting the cost of a scholarship. After eligibility ends and a diploma is obtained(yes, earn degree) then the player would receive whatever the customary royalty is for autographed merchandise. If these guys were musicians, they would get royalties for their music.
