Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has signed into law what's been dubbed the "Todd Gurley bill" — making it a crime punishable by up to a year in prison to entice student athletes to break NCAA rules for money. Deal's office said Thursday that he had signed House Bill 3, numbered to reflect the jersey number of the famous former University of Georgia running back who was suspended from the Bulldogs' football team for four games last fall for accepting money for autographs.

I would find this incredibly annoying, but since this could seriously put UGA at a disadvantage in the Bagman war, I am fine with it. Just drive south on 85 for about an hour and meet us in Valley.

Really though aren't $100 handshakes considered the same thing?
This really could be a big deal that puts UGA at a disadvantage. It isn't just breaking NCAA rules anymore, its breaking the law for these boosters.

I live in this state. I can start a thread about the state if i want.
ETA: to be honest this is more about all teams that recruit in the state of Ga more than it UGA itself. This is an incredibly dumb law.

That's embarrassing. They even named the bill number after him.

Why not punish the athletes too? They're equal participants. Also, if they're too stupid to resist the enticements, they're too stupid to be in college and the college's HC and Dean of Admissions should be brought up on fraud charges.
