They didn't have the best players.
If they were required to play in the minor league for 3 years, that would be the case.
...and it would be largely ignored in favor of the major league product.

That's exactly what would cause the bubble to burst.

No. He can play special teams - which we already have enough of. But we do need bench warmers. Is a spot for a mid-special teams worth it?
If Kirby didn't think he was needed, he wouldn't be back.

QB has no classes
First, he already had his undergrad degree.
Second, football is a fall sport. He was enrolled in classes for the fall. He didn't enroll in spring semester classes.
re: Why do the SEC and B1G give concessions to the other conferences?

UF has Florida Atlantic (G5) and Campbell (FCS) on its schedule this year. The former is being aired on the SEC Network.
Perhaps UF shouldn't be able to count these games toward the playoffs or even a bowl, right?

It's the CFP, not the SEC/BigP.

That's not the tech schools that he meant. Those are universities.
He is referring to vo-tech type schools.
Some of those do have JUCO teams.

I remember the original Stallions, and I was regularly watching this iteration.
I looked into going to a game, but the ticket prices were way, way too high. They would have been much better off with cheap tickets and getting people into the seats.

There won't be any downstream consequences because ACCPD definitely won't be cutting UGA players any slack.
You missed part of my point. The lack of discretion (or slack) is a downstream consequence.
quote:
No departments should be funded by or awarded for tickets.
I can't speak to other states, but in GA, any fines from tickets/arrests by a state agency go to the county in which the offense occurred.
The sheriff is a separate legal entity from the county, with the county having no supervisory authority over the sheriff (or tax commissioner, clerk of court, or probate judge). Fines from tickets/arrest made by the sheriff's office go to the county's general fund. The sheriff does receive their budget allocation from the county, but it's not a direct relationship between fines and funding, and the county can't force the sheriff into stepped-up traffic enforcement.
One could argue with conviction that a municipal/county police department could be pressured into enforcement, as the chief is appointed by a municipal or county governing body...
HOWEVER, under GA law, local and campus agencies must have a permit from the state to operate speed detection devices, and that permit specifies where the devices may be operated.
If an agency generates fines from speeding tickets of less than 20MPH over the limit exceeding the equivalent of 35% of that agency's budget, the state can and will pull its speed detection permit. The GSP investigates "speed trap" complaints and audits agencies.
LEW CORDELL
Llewellyn (Lew) Cordell was born in Hart County in 1910. He was a star athlete in high school and went on to play football at the University of Georgia. A diligent performer, Cordell never missed a practice while at UGA. He was a letterman on the Bulldogs' 1934 team that went 7-3. In his senior year, Cordell signed a contract with the Chicago Bears, only to reverse his field and accept a coaching job at Georgia Military College (GMC). Cordell would remain at the school from 1936-1958, posting an overall record of 118-36-7. He guided his teams to 12 Southeastern Regional Junior College Championships and lifted the GMC football program to national prominence. Lew was the first JUCO Coach East of the Mississippi to place a player on the All-American list, and had a total of 27 when retired. In 1985, GMC renamed the Field House Complex the Cordell Events Center in his honor.
------------------------------------
Now, take note that he was listed as the HC at GMC from 1936-1958; however, he was on active duty for six years during WWII. He actually coached sixteen seasons. He had 12 championships. Do the math.
Let's also talk about downstream consequences.
Not too long ago, certain segments of the public demanded body and dash cams. There was even a bill introduced in GA to require every interaction between cops and the public to be recorded.
The belief is that the cams would prove widespread corruption, but they have actually done more to disprove false accusations of wrongdoing, and now the prosecution can show exactly how Little Johnny was behaving at the time of the incident, in contrast to his sitting in court with a new haircut and suit.
They've also eroded police discretion. The local cops aren't targeting UGA players, but they aren't cutting them slack. Would you want "Hey, Mr. Running Back, slow it down buddy" being flashed all over YouTube along with accusations of favoritism? Then the headlines would be "Football Players Receiving Favoritism from Fan Cops".

So why do you think that there is a perception that UGA football players are more reckless drivers than other football players, or the young male population in general? I think the perception is inaccurate, due to differences in reporting and enforcement. If you think UGA football players actually do drive differently, what's the cause, in your opinion? It has to either be a random series of observations, which will spontaneously revert and requires no solution, or have some cause that leads to the difference.
For the next week, count the number of Teslas you see on the road. When actively looking for them, you'll see more than you previously noticed.
The perception is being driven by media reporting and the lack thereof. Do you think football players at Fort Valley State and Wyoming aren't speeding?
quote:
Let me guess; in your opinion the perception of excessive driving infractions by UGA football players, relative to other programs, is due to either: 1) Kirby Smart's poor recruiting technique which focuses solely on talent and ignores character, or 2) Kirby Smart's refusal to educate players and encourage them to obey the law, or 3) Kirby Smart's lack of discipline when players get into trouble, or 4) Kirby Smart's overall inability to foster a good "culture" at UGA. Or maybe all four of the above? Maybe something else? Feel free to give your opinion as to why this is happening. Personally, I believe Kirby has done as much as any program to reduce driving infractions. Based on long observation of UGA's peers, I think the perception that Georgia's players do this more than elsewhere is inaccurate for multiple reasons, including differences in enforcement and reporting.
NOT AT ALL. Kirby Smart is a football coach. He didn’t raise the players and isn’t responsible for their behavior.
That’s not a justification of such behavior.

Posted by New Money on 8/17/26 at 11:59 am to Violent Hip Swivel
GA law requires that local, municipal, and county officers give a 10 MPH cushion over the speed limit. Speed detection can’t be operated in an unmarked vehicle, and the LE vehicle must be visible on approach for 500 feet when running stationary speed detection.
How are GA cops overzealous?

Aaron Murray's athletic talent was underutilized at UGA. He would have been fantastic in Urban's offense, and perhaps he would have also done better in modern NFL offenses.
