so it might not just be one man's word against Gurley's word anymore
quote:
A Cedartown man has retained a lawyer after Georgia’s compliance office spoke to him as part of its investigation into whether star running back Todd Gurley signed memorabilia for cash. Shane Smith is being represented by Brad McFall of Gammon, Anderson and McFall, a law firm in Cedartown, McFall told the Athens Banner-Herald Tuesday. Asked if his client has talked to Georgia or the NCAA, McFall said: “I’m not authorized to make a comment at this time.” Smith is believed to have been in a car with memorabilia dealer Bryan Allen with Gurley in a video that Georgia officials have seen, a source said. Georgia talked to Smith but his lawyer later sent communication to the school saying any more communication needed to go through him.

If they admit to any cash they will both do jail time. At this point, they are lawyering up to present a denial.

Under GA law, if they claim to have paid Gurley, they are incriminating themselves and exposing themselves to fines, jail time, and potential civil action from Gurley and the University.
Their choice.
Their choice.

Yep, these guys should have been more familiar with Georgia law before they decided to get all butthurt.

GA law makes it illegal to pay an amateur athlete for an autograph
What is the law?

Maybe...maybe not. I still think y'all lose 3 or 4 more games.

It was posted in an AJC article the other day. Too lazy to look it up, but somebody will link it.

Huh? What statute carries jail time? I understand he has opened himself up to a civil suit if he cost the university money they could've been making off Gurley (the irony)

On my phone so I'm not going to look it up, but it's a law to protect amateur athletes from exploitation, if I understand it correctly.
That's why Allen, the original accuser, lawyered up.

Where have you seen jail time and fines? All I've seen is civil
Posted on 10/14/14 at 11:39 am to beaver
How can Georgia or the NCAA force this guy to talk to them?

because thats all it is. I believe the university must be sanctioned for them to get a civil suit as well
quote:
“Each public and private institution of postsecondary education located in this state that participates or engages in intercollegiate athletics shall have a right of action against any person who engages in any activity concerning student-athletes that results in the institution being penalized, disqualified, or suspended from participation in intercollegiate athletics by a national association for the promotion and regulation of intercollegiate athletics, by an athletic conference or other sanctioning body, or by reasonable self-imposed disciplinary action taken by such institution to mitigate sanctions likely to be imposed by such organizations as a result of such activity.

It's definitely possible that I misunderstood it.
Either way, that's why these guys are getting lawyers.
