Dude. Do I have to remind you? Mississippi State offered the 180K. Not Auburn. Cam wouldn't go to Moo State for that amount. Neither would most people.


What the frick do you Auburn people not understand about the facts. Cams DAD wanted $180k.

ETA: Also Cams Dad ended up building a new church after he signed. Pretty sure Auburn ponied up in the holy offering tray.

It's a shame kids can't make on their own name.

It's the purest form of capitalism.

frick the NCAA.


Actually, no.

Exploitations is capitalism -- making the current structure more capitalist than a pseudo free market that would allow boosters to pay outrageous amounts of money to recruits for their autographs.

It's opens pandora's box.

"Come to LSU and this guy will give you 500k for your autograph".

It ruins the integrity of the entire system.

Full cost of attendance, from meals to housing to allowance -- with some kind of back end financial payout possibly, depending on service time ect. That's the route that should be taken.

You know who the real loser in all this is?

Vanderbilt.

Why couldn't it be last week?

Are people really believing he sold 80 autographed jerseys for $400? Does that even make sense??

I don't believe it all. It's probably more like $2000

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.

Give them a stipend. A small one. I have no problem with that.

Jobs? No.

I hope for your teams sake that he doesn't have to clear the SEC after he clears the NCAA... The time it has taken for the SEC to process Travonte Valentine's records is borderline criminal.

I hope Gurley gets better treatment.

At least it isn't a sexual battery accusation. Gurley and Harris could still end up being cleared. Don't panic yet. I'm not.

So the dude that paid him turned around and then turned him into UGA compliance. What kind of sense does that make?
