(Updated 8:40 p.m.)
ATHENS – The NCAA came down hard Wednesday on A.J. Green, ordering Georgia’s star wide receiver to sit out four games as punishment for selling a game jersey to a sports agent.
Green sold the jersey he wore in last season’s Independence Bowl for $1,000, according to the facts of the case stipulated by Georgia.
The school plans to appeal the NCAA ruling in hopes of having the length of the suspension reduced. The appeal could be heard next week, coach Mark Richt said.
Green was held out of last week’s season opener against Louisiana-Lafayette, pending the results of the NCAA investigation, which began in July. He must sit out the Bulldogs’ next three games -– Saturday at South Carolina, Sept. 18 at home vs. Arkansas and Sept. 25 at Mississippi State –- unless the appeal is successful. He will be eligible to return for the Oct. 2 game at Colorado.
“Certainly I’m disappointed with the outcome,” Richt said. “However, we have games to play, and that’s where our focus needs to be in the coming days and weeks. Other players will have to step forward, and I’m confident they will do that.”
Richt informed his players of the NCAA ruling shortly before Wednesday’s practice.
“He assured us we have the talent on this team to play with or without [Green],” tight end Aron White said. “We’re still Georgia. One player doesn’t make Georgia. That’s something [Richt] made very clear to us, that he still has complete confidence in us.”
The NCAA did not name the individual who bought the jersey from Green but said the person meets the organization’s definition of an agent -– “any individual who markets or promotes a student-athlete.” That put Green in violation of the NCAA rule against receiving benefits from agents.
Selling a jersey to a non-agent also would violate NCAA rules, which prohibit student-athletes from receiving money for memorabilia.
Green has donated $1,000, the amount he received for the jersey, to charity, the NCAA said.
The four-game ban is at the top end of the range the NCAA typically imposes for this type of violation.
The NCAA said it reviews each case “on its own merits based on the specific facts. Staff decisions are made based on a number of factors including . . . the student-athlete’s responsibility for the violation, as well as any mitigating factors presented by the university.”
In another recent case, the NCAA last week suspended Alabama defensive end Marcell Dareus for two games for accepting almost $1,800 in benefits from an agent. In that case, the NCAA said Dareus received a two-game ban, rather than four games, “based on mitigating circumstances.”
Green will be allowed to practice with the Georgia team during his banishment from games and, in fact, did so Wednesday.
”I want to apologize to my coaches, teammates and the Georgia fans for the mistake in judgment,” Green said in a statement. “I very much regret all that has taken place and the distraction that’s been caused. I’ve learned a valuable lesson and hope others can learn from my mistake. I can only focus my attention now on practicing and looking ahead to getting back with my teammates as quickly as possible.”
Green did not meet with reporters. Richt summed up Green’s reaction: “He’s hurt. He’s sad. He’s sorry for what happened.”
Wide receiver Tavarres King said the Green news was “pretty shocking” to him and vowed to help pick up the slack in the star player’s absence.
“I got to step up and make plays to fill the void for A.J.” King said. “Big shoes to fill. Huge shoes to fill.”
Green, a junior from Summerville, S.C., was named to preseason All-SEC and some preseason All-America teams. He is projected as a high first-round pick if he enters next year’s NFL draft, as most observers expect him to do.
Green caught 53 passes for 808 yards and six touchdowns last season, when he missed three-plus games with injuries. He caught 56 passes for 963 yards and eight touchdowns as a freshman in 2008.
Georgia’s appeal will be heard by the NCAA Division I Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, which is comprised of representatives from NCAA member schools. Green cannot play in games during the appeal process.
As is standard procedural form in such cases, Georgia declared Green ineligible and the NCAA set his penalty and the terms of his reinstatement.
The NCAA informed Georgia on July 21 of the Green investigation — one in a series of probes at a number of schools into dealings between athletes and agents. Green said on July 22 that he was asked by Georgia officials if he attended an agent-hosted party in Miami that triggered investigations at several schools. He said he did not.

He should be suspended, as players should know by now they can’t sell any items they received from their athletic teams given all the problems with people selling rings in the past.
However, that said, this punishment is completely disproportionate and inconsistent to what has been handed down by the NCAA for other agent related transgressions. This punishment seems excessive and arbitrary given the fact an Alabama player was suspended for 2 games for basically the exact same thing.

Sorry, I’m not buying that selling the jersey to an agent was the only infraction. There has to be more to this story considering its a 4 game suspension versus a 2 game for Dareus at Alabama. The question is how much interaction he may have had with this agent and what the money may have been used for. There are some rumors floating around that an agent is paying AJ’s insurance premiums now that his father is unemployed. That combined with the jersey sale would make more sense if its a 4 game suspension.

Looks like the people who claim to have “inside sources” on these blogs and were assuring everybody yesterday that Green was about to reinstated for SC were about as accurate as they were when they were saying the hiring of Kirby Smart was a done deal.
I’m sorry to see Green get a penalty this harsh. As others have said, he must not have been completely forthcoming with Georgia and/or the NCAA.

This is absolute B S ! How is it that the player from Alabama received airline tickets and other “stuff” as also not allowed by the P R I C K S at the NCAA Headquarters and all he had to do was pay the costs of said items to a charity and he sits out ONE game.
Let A J sit out one game, he already has, and let him donate the money to charity as well – end of story. Saban has B A L L S and CMR and the administration at UGA have NONE.

Dareus’ suspension was reduced from 4 games to 2 games because he fully cooperated in the investigation and was actually commended by the NC2a for being forthcoming.
Draw whatever conclusions you will from AJ not getting a reduced suspension – perhaps he misled them, or perhaps it’s because the agent contact went beyond ’selling’ a jersey to him.

Again, as has been stated in one post. Dareus immediately left the party once he realized agents were at the party. he also immediately contacted Coach Saban and the NCAA. Dareus Honesty is what got his suspension lowered. He also repaid and provided all receipts from his travel. Also the NCAA never sent investigators down to Tuscaloosa, they did to Athens.. I hate to see a kid with the talent of Green have to sit out four games. I think a lot of the NCAA rules are crap. I feel for you dawg fans, good luck Saturday.

The hypocrisy of the NCAA and big time college football is staggering. While both make hundreds of millions of dollars a year from the efforts of these players, they both want to insist that they’re protecting the integrity of the system for the student-athlete. Total BS. Stardom, celebrity, and marketing are stock in trade for the system, and no one blinks. But for the kids who play, it’s a reconditioned virginity when it comes to money that keeps them pure for the pros. NCAA football is a farm system and no fan thinks differently. The players should be able to take advantage of their talents to make money, just as everyone of us tries to do everyday, and these big schools should provide them business agents from the ranks of their glorious business schools to guide them until they can swim with the sharks. In the meanwhile, we’ll hold our noses and pretend this doesn’t stink.

His situation is different from those that simply take gifts from boosters and agents to be persuaded to take certain actions.
On the other hand he may have simply taken the $1K and then tried to disguise the fact with the “so-called” jersey sale.

The whole first and second thing is really old, seriously get a life. Are you two 6 years old? Secondly, there’s serious hypocrisy involved here but I understand where the NCAA is coming from. If they rule that it’s ok for Green to sell a jersey what’s to stop other players from making thousands of dollars from selling items and nullifying the lines between amateur and professional sports. Green was dumb to sell it and it was unfortunate if he felt he needed the money bad enough that he had to.

September 8th, 2010

This statement was made by a UGA fan earlier: “You can find replicas on line for $74.95..”
This fan ignores the fact that “someone” paid $1000. for the jersey.
In short, Green took a bribe from someone connected to an agent.
I am stunned that UGA is appealing the suspension. Appealing is just candy-as*ed at best. UGA has a problem with its players getting arrested, what is it, 23 in 3 years?, and they wonder why. Maybe they should consider that they do not really punish any players, just a gentle slap on the wrist.
Let the suspension stand! So he misses 4 games. Is his presence that critical for a win? If so, UGA has a lousy team.

Agree that it was a stupid thing to do, but that the penalty does not fit the crime unless there is more to the story. I would hope that if there’s not more, than the penalty will get reduced to two games and he’ll be eligible for Arkansas. However, I don’t think this will influence him to stay his Senior year. If anything, I think he’ll be more inclined to go pro so he can be done with the NCAA and get a big contract.

The NCAA is full of hypocrites. These kids scrape by on $30 per week allowances from their parents… they are not allowed to work and hold jobs to make any money… they can’t profit one d*** nickel from their athletic achievements… but the NCAA can sell their likenesses and use them to make BILLIONS OF DOLLARS from TV contracts, video games, replica merchandise, tee-shirts, books, DVDs of great plays, bowl games, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
In the past I have been resistant to the idea of players getting paid… but ya know what? The money is too big now. It’s big business… let the kids have a slice of the pie. $200 a week or so during the season won’t make any athletic department go bust. And in the offseason, let them work jobs to make some cash… and have that go hand-in-hand with a mentoring program from various professionals… and, lastly, have a mandatory NCAA rules class and a mandatory money-management/life skills class, BOTH to be taken 1st semester as a freshman.
Tough luck, AJ… we’ll see you in October. And to all you idiots gloating about this, be careful… it can happen to your program. And by the way, UGA will still kick your team’s a** even without AJ… the Dogs have a ton of weapons this year, it’s not just the AJ show.

They could then sell whatever they want; we’ve been through this before. Just a few years ago selling SEC Champ rings. It’s going to happen; if they don’t have the prize it can’t be sold.

Line up and play the game with the players who have been doing the right thing. I stated in an earlier blog that it was great to see some real student athletes scores TD’s in last week’s game. Hey AJ, if you really want to show some remorse for what you did, hang around one more year and stay committed to the university that is giving you a free education, housing, etc. My family supported the UGA program for over 25 years as season ticket holders and I continure to witness spoiled, coddled athletes taking as much as they can. How bout giving back! Sometimes giving back means doing the next right thing when nobody is watching. These remarks are not meant for AJ only, but for the self centered actions of many players. Reward those who are doing the right thing. They signed to play for UGA, let’s win with them.

I hope this is reduced on appeal … but AJ knew better than take $1,000 dollars from an agent. An agent buying a $50 jersey for a grand is equivelent telling a cop, “I’m not bribing you but here’s $1,000 for that Bic pen in your pocket”.

Is it me or do these “agents” that desperate to make a few bucks? How did the NCAA find out he sold his jersey? How do these things come up? This is crazy and retarded. Whoever that is “snitching” or setting these guys up need to take the fall for this. It seems like they know what they are doing and are misleading these kids. NCAA needs to step up and take some sort of blame themselves and tell these kids not to sell, autograph, or talk to anyone outside of their normal circle.

I say they should kick him off the team. Then his top 5 NFL draft position will go down the drain along with millions and millions of dollars. He knew it was wrong to sell that jersey and I believe there is a strong possibility he misled investigators is why the penalty is so harsh. I’m a UGA fan but It is past time for Richt to put his foot down and stop this rampant lack self control by his players. Take a stand now and instill some discipline or UGA should get rid of coach Richt.

Its interesting how these fans from other schools trash Georgia because of the arrests. At least Richt doesn’t cover up the arrests like many other schools do. If your school never has a kid get in trouble for under-aged drinking, is it because you recruit a bunch of choir boys, or because your coach has a direct line to the police department. And yes, I know policemen and know what goes on behind the scenes.

I know you guys didn’t read any more than the headline on Dareus, but he was suspended for 4 games and it was reduced to 2 due to mitigating circumstances. The $1787 was not money he accepted FROM an agent it was the cost of the plane tickets, lodging and food for his trips to Miami.
The mitigating circumstances involve the fact that it was Marvin Austin (not an agent directly) who paid for Marcel and supposedly Marcel was not aware Austin was receiving funds from an agent. Marcel’s mother was dying and then passed away during this time and he thought his friend was being a friend by taking him to Miami with him. Also I think the NCAA saw that the death of his mother may have contributed to him not thinking clearly about the situation and he just wanted to get away from the situation at home as most young people would.

Four games for selling his jersey to an agent and 2 games for players attending and agents party and receiving gifts. Sounds like the NCAA got this one right. So, you have other receivers. Prepare for the game with what you have and do some great play calling and this should be no problem. This is a sign for the recruiting coordinator and HC to recruit more WRs. Get the defensive unit ready and this will not matter. One player does not end a season.

4 GAMES. So I guess La Laff, Idaho St. Colorado, and Ga. Tech don’t count as games to the DAG FANS right? It is not like those teams should even be on the field with the GREAT DAWGS. So, now let us pick the other 4 games he should miss.
USC east, Arkiesaw, Miss St, Tenn., Vandy, Kentucky, Florida, or Auburn.
It can’t be FLORIDA because the Dawgs need all the help they can get just to make it to the game sober and out of jail.
Kentucky can’t be it because they hade the DAWG fans leaving the game in Athens in the 4th qtr with a chance to win. So UGA needs him for that game for sure on the road.
I can only see VANDY as the gimmie game.
You just have to love the NCAA.
USC east, Arkiesaw, Miss St, and Colorado games the MIGHTY DAWGS should’t need Green anyway.
Wouldn’t it be fun if the SEC members could vote on the games a player has to miss. HAHAHHAH That would make RICHT drop the hammer. Well, It would make all the coaches DROP the Hammer Down on problem children.

I would bet the kids would be more accountable, and get in much less trouble……I don’t care if it is part of the scholarship, and then they get it bi monthly like a pay check…..

Instead, he will miss his final year and end up going lower in the draft. I wonder if there are any kids on this team of rule-breakers who love and want to play for UGA and are not whiling their time away in Athens breaking laws and slaking their mercenary greed at UGA’s expense.

How does the “bama” player get of with two games and AJ gets 4? UGA plans to appeal, I hope they get a rulling on their appeal as fast as Miss. did on their appeal on the gangster they have at QB. The ruleing on their appeal came down in less than 24 hrs. By the way, it was reported that AJ cooperated with the NCAA.
I think the NCAA has always had it in for UGA and OKLA. for taking them to court years ago and removing them from the control of TV rights for schools.
I will be shocked if this suspension is left at 4 games, it will probably be reduced to 2 games.

One Jersey. $1,000 in the pocket of the person who in effect owned the jersey. The agent he sold it to is dumb enough to expose the jersey. The agent? Nothing happens to him. He and the agency he is connected with should be penalized $100,000 each, the first time this happens, and both parties/entities fines are doubled every succeeding time it happens. Spurrier, Saban and other coaches are correct. Until the agents are penalized, the agents are going to continue to break the rules. They have nothing to lose. What if a player actually lost his amateur status, with one year of SEC Football experience under his belt? What then Mr Agent? You are more concerned about your pocket, than you are about the player.
Why not penalize the agents, heavily? Forbid all agents from any contact with any player, on or off the field, in any way, via text, email, tweet, Facebook, or any other similar type internet oriented type of service, or phone, or face to face discussion, or through a 3rd party, or with a 3rd party friend or family member.
Then tell the player, “you will have no contact – of any kind – with any agent – in any way including via text, email, tweet, Facebook, or any other similar type of internet oriented type service,phone, or face to face discussion, or through a 3rd party, or with a 3rd party friend or family member – or you will be sitting out 4 games and we will be the ones who makes sure you do sit out those four games – because you are so stupid that you will jeopardize your amateur status. Do you understand this statement or do we need to get your mama or grandmother in here and let her explain it to you?”
I am a UGA and AJ Green fan, but this was stew-pid, which is worse than stupid. Stupid is not having the intelligence to know the difference. Stew-pid is having the intelligence to know the difference, but not actually listen to what you have been given the benefit of the doubt of having the actual intelligence to understand. Stew-pid. (Pronounce it like it is spelled. Stew – pid).
For the $1,000, he is probably going to miss the South Carolina, Arkansas and Mississippi State games. He received the $1,000 – and now has paid it back – he gained nothing out of it. He loses the experience of playing those four games. The 5th game of the season, he is coming in to play with the same game level experience as every player that played last Saturday.
What if we lose one of those games by one touchdown, or all three games by one touchdown each? Do you think AJ Green is worth one touchdown per game average? No! He is worth the sweaty nasty jersey that he played in, in last years Independence Bowl Game!

If a team makes it to a bowl game, doesn’t the team receive swag provided by the sponsors. What if a player sold his gaming system, I-pod, flat screen, or watch that he received. Is that a violation? It’s his.
Universities make plenty of money from jersey sales that feature conviently their star players’ numbers. It is time to give some of that money to the players-not just the stars, before they sell the actual jersey off of their backs.

Before everyone compares AJ’s punishment to others – you have to remember that each case is unique and dealt with accordingly.
Regarding AJ – I imagine he got 2 games for selling memorabilia …. and 2 games for contact with an agent.
I hope UGA wins the appeal and AJ will be able to play against Arkansas. However, the NCAA moves at a snails pace and will not be in a hurry.

September 8th, 2010

Another week, another Georgia football player in the news.
Someone made a comment about Jeff Schultz’s recent column attaching blame on Mark Richt for the lack of discipline (9 arrests since March) demonstrated by his team. This is yet another example of what Schultz was writing about.
Mark Richt is clearly a fine man, and a good coach. You have to wonder why a large segment of his players seem to think that rules (or laws) just don’t apply to them. What makes this case especially onerous for Georgia is the fact that the NCAA adopted the rule being applied in this situation as a result of the sale of rings by… you guessed it… nine UGA football players. So there’s no way (or at least there shouldn’t be) that a Georgia athlete would not be aware of this rule.
“Glory, Glory?” How about “Shame, Shame?”
Personally, I don’t think sitting out Louisiana-Lafayette means a damned thing to them. As long as that sort of “punishment” is Richt’s way of enforcing the rules, then he’ll have players who won’t view them as “rules,” but instead as “suggestions.”

I guarantee the NCAA won’t refund ANY of the profit they make off his #8 jersey sales over the next 3 games!? A student-athlete walks into a campus bookstore and they’re selling HIS jersey, but the poor guy has to stroll around campus dead broke and not make a single dime off the profits. What do you people really expect? This is why I can’t knock a young athlete leaving school early to make a salary, because they won’t let them work during their season.
Interestingly enough, with an academic scholarship/fellowship, you can get refund checks and keep the money. But, with an athletic scholarship, you’re most likely big, strong, fast…and a BROKE college kid. Indentured servants foreal. The NCAA should be ashamed giving AJ Green 4 games because of this, why letting real criminals play!

Tired of hearing about the inequity between players and the evil profiteers, the NCAA and the schools. These kids DO GET PAID. They get a free education — at least the ones people buy tickets to see on the field, they get free board, free books, free meals, free tutors, and very special treatment when it comes to test taking and class schedules. They get free coaching and an opportunity to hone and show their talent on a nat’l stage. A few go on to make millions for their “services” to the university. If they don’t like it, have a seat. There’s a line as long as hwy 316 with kids ready to jump on the same opportunity. By the way, when the kids in the lab come up with a patent on a new breed of blight resistant tomato, or highly productive wheat that feeds millions (and makes millions) — guess who gets the commercial rights to it? (it ain’t the kid in the lab). When these guys get to autograph and sell their lab notes, come back and talk to me. Until then, let the market work itself out. We don’t need no more stinkin regulations.

All right everybody,
Let us all (True Dawg fans) get together and put this behind us. We call know this is a crock of you know what. I know a thing or 2 about appeals and it will drag out until after this game Saturday. Let’s just think about the positives with our WR corp; we get T. King back and Durham is a huge weapon. Not to mention we have Wooten, Troupe, Gray, Brown and our trio at TE including the sensational Orsen Charles. We can beat the Chickens without AJ. Sure, it would be nice to have him but we still have PLENTY of skilled players to fill the gap. Throw in a little Branden Smith and the newly reinstated Washaun Ealey and our offense will be OK. The bitter, jealous, immature haters on here are ALL scared of UGA and their being on this blog just proves the point. We will b e fine as I see UGA winning by atleast 10 points on Saturday. Green SHOULD have this appeal heard by next week and, from what I’ve heard, the suspension will be reduced to just 2 games. He SHOULD play against Arky next week. However, let’s not worry about that. Let’s be focused on the task at hand – beating the Chickens and eating that BBQ Bird to boot.

We treat these kids like slaves when they are in college while the NCAA and the institutions and ESPN make millions off of them and they get a free education which you would get anyway at Georgia with the hope scholarship. They can’t work. They can’t sell anything. It really is a crazy. These guys need to be payed for their work. Give them a nice per dium and set up a IRA for them and put some money the school makes off them away for their future. Seems fair. 3 or 4 of these guys may move on to the NFL, but the rest should get a little something for their effort. We all no a college degree is not worth what it used to be.

Is going on here. Just what is Coach Richt supposed to do about players selling memorabilia during the summer? Especially when a parent is out of work? Sure it was against the rules and he has missed a game. He didn’t commit a felony, he did not drive with a suspended license, or while intoxicated. He sold a game worn jersey to a person that “fits the definition of an agent” WTF is that? Is the person an agent or is the NCAA stretching their own definition? This is once again the NCAA at it’s hypocritical worst. Yes UGA should appeal the suspension, it does not seem to fit the crime at all.

Beast.. I understand your point and yes he deserves to be punished for what he did and I know complaining about it will not do any good. But four games in my opinion is excessive in light of recent punishments that have been handed down. But I am with you in the fact that I would not wish this on any team because I prefer playing (winning or losing) against a team with it’s best players on the field. There is not as much satisfaction for me if we win and the other team is missing their go to guys.

OK mutts about a thousand of you idiots have asked why was Dareus’ punishment half what AJ’s is. Because AJ was less than forthcoming and the NCAA said rarely have they interviewed a student athlete that was as truthful as Marcel. Long story short the Richt regime has been less than stellar with actions of the Bulldogs off the field. St. Marks seat just got a little warmer.

None of them have enough balls to say they were wrong on that matter though.

For the people asking about suspensions for the players at UNC involved with agents: the NCAA has made no decisions on Austin and Little.
Butch Davis has suspended Austin indefinitely. He is not allowed to practice and for all intents and purposes his career at UNC is over.
Little is on the scout team and will not be playing until the NCAA has ruled on whatever infractions he may have committed.
Austin and Little have both been subpoened by the State of NC to testify under oath concerning their relationship with agents. Although the state is going after the agents under various state laws, I would think that neither Austin nor Little is looking forward to that event. The NCAA can only take away your scholarship – the State has a little bit more leverage.

AJ stated he sold the jersey to a memorabilia collectior. UGA administration investigated the memorabilia collector and found no evidence that he was an agent.
The NCAA found differently.
That’s why Dean said 1 game. That’s why Mike Adams thought it was no big deal.
Everyone at UGA thought this was a pretty clear case of having received an improper benefit from a memorabilia collector.
You can bet that UGA feels very strongly that the NCAA is making connections that don’t exist – at least not in this context – or they absolutely would not be appealing.

The news is actually worse for Ugag:
1. Despite winning the 2010 Fulmer Cup, A.J. Green was NOT actually “arrested”, so his points do NOT count toward the 2011 Fulmer Cup.
2. Even a successful appeal to have Green awarded Fulmer Cup points for this would be denied as we are “in season”. Fulmer Cup points are only awarded for “off season” events. NOTE: While the violation may have technically occurred AFTER bowl season, the prevailing judgement says that with the sentencing coming AFTER the season started, points would still NOT be awarded.
Georgia should implement a strategy of “greyshirting” these never-ending violations, so that they can DOMINATE the 2011 Fulmer Cup!

I don’t know the ‘legalese’ on this, but it seems like a no brainer to me. If AJ has his name on a jersey, he should be able to proffit off of it, just as if his ‘likeness’ were on a video game.

It’s excessive and I feel sure it’ll be reduced after the appeals. But even if it’s not, it’s not the end of the world for the team. If you guys think his absence means UGA loses to SC then you need to do some serious study of this team. This is a VERY GOOD team this year. There is a stable of good WRs and backs, two excellent QBs, and an outstanding defense.
Truth be told, it’s probably a blessing for UGA with respect to the SC game. They would have a game plan in place to shut down AJ, and Bobo would’ve had a game plan to over-use AJ. In the end there probably would’ve been a lot of 1-2-3-punt on our offense. Now it opens things up more and allows the other WR’s to play and puts more pressure on SC defense to cover them.
Relax guys. Dawgs beat SC by 10 to 14points.

I went to the NCAA website to read their statements on Green and Dareus. The statement on Dareus specifically says his suspension was reduced from 4 to 2 games due to mitigating circumstances. The statement on Green mentions that suspensions can be reduced if there are mitigating circumstances but doesn’t say there were any in Green’s case.
I suspect that mitigating circumstances in the Dareus case are one or more of the following:
1. He didn’t intend to have contact with an agent or have a trip paid for by an agent but was lured in under false pretenses by Marvin Austin of UNC, who Dareus knew from a recruiting trip to UNC.
2. When he realized an agent was the host of a party he attended he told the Alabama coaches and Alabama notified the NCAA.
3. Dareus’ mother was seriously ill and then died during the time of his trips to Miami, which could have affected his judgment.
If Green was in direct contact with an agent on the sale of his jersey, didn’t tell UGA or the NCAA and the NCAA found out via a tip and then contacted Georgia, the mitigating circumstances that appear to be present with the Dareus case aren’t there for Green.
I would guess Georgia will attempt to make the case that there are mitigating circumstances in its appeal. Nick Saban initially said Alabama would appeal the 2 game suspension on Dareus but after looking into the precedents they decided the penalty was consistent with similar situations and didn’t appeal.

A.J. tried to cover up the problem in June when another source(team in the SEC) told the NCAA about selling of jersey. A.J. was interviewed and dragged feet on response to investigators.That’s the reason for four games.Very dumb mistake since these rules are gone over with players EVERY YEAR. Overall policy and punishment are currently being revised by A.D. staff.One person will be made the AX man who sets punishment.It will by pass Richt.

There is more to this story, some of it has not been revealed. I think Green lied to the NCAA. As for the Dareus situation these aren’t even remotely similar. Dareus left the party once he realized agents were there, he reimbursed the costs and even the NCAA said his honesty is what made the suspension 2 games. Stop blaming Bama. while the laws may suck. There is only one person to blame A.J. green. he should have known better.

It does point out that the kids should get some sort of disposable income spending money for the billions that the schools make off of them. He shouldn’t have done it and he’s going to pay the price for it. If Coach Richt hadn’t already told them not to sell their Bowl rings, it wouldn’t be so bad. But he knew better. Lesson learned.

Right now only schools are reimbursed for their efforts. Why are colleges being used as triple A ball teams?

My sister is his next door neighbor, and I told her to tell him to go one semester without screwing up, one damn semester. Don’t go Downtown and get arrested, fight, cheat in class, or anything, cause you will be a multi-millionaire by next Spring. And he pretty much ruins his year and his teams by making $1,000. Not a lot of money compared to the millions that await him. Couldn’t he have taken out financial aid or something. Gracious alive. The guy is an amazing player and has done a lot to win Georgia games, but the stupidity just tears that all down. I don’t think the punishment fits the crime, but he should have been smarter than that. I am just annoyed at the mistakes people make, considering they have already paved their future, and created a life to take care of their families for generations if they finance it correctly. Hopefully the suspension will be reduced, but being punished for breaking the rules is a must. Hopefully we can have someone step up in Columbia, and not disappoint all us traveling to watch.

Someone connected with college sports really needs to take the NCAA to court and have them legally justify schools making millions off star athletes like Green, while the players, especially those from less-than-privileged backgrounds, have to scrape together a few bucks.
The NCAA combines the worst elements of capitalism and fascism. A skilled lawyer would have a field day pointing out the rampant hypocrisy and plantation-style mentality of the NCAA, and would certainly get the attention of sports fans who think it’s a wonderful organization.
I wish Georgia would challenge this ruling, but there’s no way Michael Adams would ever buck the system that has made so much money for schools like his.

To those saying he took a grand from an agent: He SOLD his jersey. There is a Knowshon game worn jersey on ebay right now listed for 800. Its not a bowl jersey either. I believe we sell them a few times a year to raise money. Anyone know what the last game worn jersey sold for please share with us.

On top of that, there are meeting after meeting where it is explained to the fast and the slow just what can and cannot be done off the field. This was a selfish act that AJ expected to go unnoticed.

Where is the coaching staff when it comes to instilling honor and pride in the team members ? If you continue to recruit thugs and those who have no respect for their school and their place as a role model then what do you expect . When you wear a school uniform anything you do on or off the field reflects on the player , the coaching staff and the school. The coaching staff at Georgia does not instill discipline in their players . Just look at all the suspensions, arrests , and students booted from the team . The problem starts at recruitment and ends with the coaching staff . Recruit athletes who can read and write and who are looking for an education . Stop recruiting those who see this as a ticket to the NFL or worst case jail because of their stupidity and sense of entitlement.

Many commenters here are missing the point here. AJ should be punished. No question about that. The problem is one of proportionality and therefore of predictability and reliability of NCAA rules. The 4 game suspension is simply too harsh. No matter how the NCAA’s lawyers parse the fine points, the bottom line is that the public sees a naive kid get hit with a sledgehammer for being tricked into selling an agent a uniform for $1000, while Masoli gets almost a free ride after committing a felony, the Miami party participants get lesser suspensions, and law breakers at UT and even at UGA miss a single game (if any) for much more serious transgressions. I realize these last have nothing to do with NCAA rules violations, but my point is that if players and the public perceive the process as being unfair and unpredictable, the process itself loses credibility. The other effect is to create a “circle the wagons” mentality in fandom; I personally do think the Georgia program has a discipline problem and that the Ealey and Ogletree punishments are too light, but this one is over the top.

A shirt for $1000? What’s the difference between that and a replica? His signature? OK, so he sold his signature for $1000, to a guy who wants to be his agent?
Pay college players? That makes sense until you try to figure out how much. Right now, they’re all getting the same–the tuition. Yet some want more. You can pay them a stipend, but greedy players and agents will always create more. The only solution is to pay the big stars more money, right? OK, try to manage that program. You don’t think the kid who thinks he is “underpaid” won’t take money from an prospective agent?
So the final solution is just to let them get paid whatever they can get–agents, endorsements, anything. At that point, colleges just need to get out of the athletic business.
I say just draw a line in the sand, as long as you can, to preserve the great college game we have. AJ Greene is part of that. He crossed the line and has to pay.

A J did wrong and I am sure he was warned about selling his stuff, while still in school. If he sold his jersey on ebay, he did not sell it to an agent, he sold to the high bidder.
Per all precedence, if all he did is what has been announced, proper punishment should be repaying the money and 1 game suspension. UGA should certainly be seeking an appeal THIS WEEK.

Last evening around 8:00 p.m. the beloved Dawg Post was that AJ would be cleared and would play against USC on Saturday. Many Red and Black visioned fans were taking this as a minor matter. This is all related back to the Gary Winchard players party and his “runners”. It may take a year or two but at some point this is going to come out in the open. These top players are a tight knit group and these agents and runners are all over them, however unlike the underground drug trade in this country, these kids have turned on one another and AJ was too close to a couple of players caught up in the investigation. The thing with AJ was just in 2003 the NCAA passed a regulation regarding selling of player issued memorbilia and gifts from schools or bowls, this rule was directly pointed at UGA for selling bowl rings. AJ was not immediately forthcoming and that is where his trouble took him. Several other players on other teams were aware of this practice and opened up about everything to get the NCAA to move on to the next guy.
So if anyone thinks this is unfair, remember this particular NCAA rule was put in place due to UGA players selling their bowl rings, and the UGA compliance office stated they had addressed it.
Feel sorry for AJ and his family, it sounds from other post that his family has had some recent hard times. But keep in mind in 9 months this kid will be a multi-millionaire. The ones that are hurt are his teammates who sweated all summer with USC in their sights as the game to get them started off right in the conference. Now because of a decision he made with the influence of an agent or runner he now jeopardizes his school and they could possibly be out of the SEC race by the 4th week without some players stepping up and playing their fannies off.
Good Luck

I wonder how long we will be shrouded in Hershel’s mystique ? I am convinced that many of those in our proud Dawgnation believe that Hershel alone brought the national championship to Athens. We conveniently allow ourselves to forget that Danny Ford and Clemson never allowed him a home touchdown, but we won there just the same.
We had Matthew and Knowshon and nobody was going to stop us. Alabama had other ideas with lesser talent and greater hearts.
AJ will be missed, no doubt, but greatness in teams never falls to one participant, it falls to the TEAM. I do not believe that one member of our football team believes that they cannot win without AJ. I also do not believe that our team could have been presented with a greater motivator than to see the “Mighty Casey” sidelined by youthful indiscretion. AJ did not strike out, he merely passed his time at bat to others.
Expect a home run. This one for AJ !!!

Dear AJ,
You are a DUMBA$$.
You can’t play this week, at least. Get out of the meeting room, get off the practice field, and run steps and laps while you watch your teammates prepare for war against a tough SEC opponent.
Wear a pink jersey while you suffer that exertion because if you can’t go on Saturday, you’re a pu$$y and you might as well be dead because you’re now worthless to your team.
With love,

AJ Green has not won any titles for UGA …………YET ……….so let him sit, be fresh and ready for the big year ending games. He can heal from prior issues and have frsh legs late. Imagine having a third string ( by then ) All American flanker coming in in October. I like it.
Now ………….. Marvelous Marvin Brown @ 6;5″ and Israel Troupe and Chris Durden and the what? 5? tight ends and Tavarres King, Rontavious Wooten, and that Bennett FROSH kid from Alpharetta …….can all get a shot. Sometimes, things do work out for the best.

Why in the world does CMR not see that he has a receiver every bit as good as A.J.on the team right in front of his face.I personally saw Alex Ogletree make catches in high school that bordered on magic.He probably would have been one of the best high school receivers in the nation last year ,if he had not played offense and defense.I have been watching football for 40 years and he was the best receiver I have seen in high school.Given a chance he would easily surpass a thousand yards,he is that good.Just a thought since we will be thin at this position for a while….

ryan – AJ sold an object that is worth maybe $100 if it has not been worn by him in a game to a person the NCAA classifies as an agent for almost $1,000. It is not a crime and AJ is not being prosecuted for anything, but it is a violation of NCAA rules.

I guess the NCAA Homeland Security Division has another big trophy to add to their case. 2 1/2 months to resolve this. Give me a break. The NCAA pays big bucks for agents to monitor blogs, postings, ect to catch all our terrorist type athletes in breaking one of their 412,667 rules just so they can justify their continued existence. Green is just the first in a long line that will fall prey this year.

And this is not to mention the things that have not been revealed about us and our families…Just be a bit more sensative to others.
And what is up with all of this “THUG” lingo thrown around…does anyone know AJ’s background or what his GPA is? his character and his contributions to society? He could possibly be a great young man. Stop being so judgemental folks!

OOps there is only one man I know that was Perfect Jesus Christ. Don’t criticize and then you won’t be criticized for others will treat you the way you treat them.
The young man made a mistake he will have to live with it. Don’t be cruel you have not walked in his shoes and until you do, then you can begin to throw your rocks.
Name me another coach that you know that has gone on misssion trips to help the downtrodden people in other countries. Mark is a wonderful person he walks and talks with God daily. Ga will do fine this yr. and A.J will too.

This will not affect his potential at making more money than anybody posting a stupid blog about Georgia’s inability to be a good team. No tech graduate will make more than him next year.

OOOPPS! Maybe a little stiff on the 4-games, but the “crime” was committed, and appologizing & paying back the $ doesn’t change that fact. And maybe, just maybe the NCAA felt there was some substance to AJ’s “I wasn’t in Miami” plea, thus the 4-games.
Unfortunate that so many of these young men these days – FULL SCHOLARSHIP Atheletes – aren’t satisfied enough with what all they are getting in the FULL Scholly, especially at a school like GA. Just think how satisfied your basic student would be if he had all the perks that the athelete gets.
Heard his father has lost his job. In this tough economy I hope his father finds work soon, or can at least make ends meet until AJ earns some NFL $.

It’s amazing how tech fans rejoice at an injustice. It’s amazing that they still can talk crap after being owned every year (but one) for the last decade. Does it depress you that Georgia could lose the best wr in the nation and still be able to beat the techers? “Never be better than Tech EVER”??? wow. I wonder if you are really that ignorant or willingly stupid.

Too funny that some of you are mad at the agent and NCAA. AJ knew he was not suppose to sell the jersey and he more than likely lied about it to get the 4 game suspension. The blame lies with AJ and him alone. The fact that his family is hurting for money means nothing. Their son is getting a college education for FREE, which he probably won’t finish, and that should be enough. How many college students are out there right now with unemployed parents and will have a huge student loan payment when they actually graduate. GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!

The question is will any of these UGA bloggers be around when the losses begin to mount. I was amazed who was MIA last year when the season totally tanked…
The bottom line is UGA fans cannot criticize their program, nor can they take criticism. Other superior programs are always looking for ways to get better, while Athens is searching for excuses regarding losses. Maybe they should change their mascot from Bulldogs to Ostriches for burying their heads in the sand, year, after year, after year.

If UGA wins all 3 games then I would let Green come back to help the team with possibly an undefeated year. The only reason I would let Green come back is to help the team . At this point it’s all about the team because what he did was a greedy , self centered display. After saying that if UGA loses to SC or Arkansas and the final score is less than a seven point lose, it would be obvious that Green could have made the difference with winning or losing, then I think AJ should be dismissed from the team and university . This is not a lapse in judgment this is stupidity, ignorance, greed , poor ethics, bad integrity, low moral and a total disregard of the rules that separate college football from pro.

So if these guys are such problems, don’t recruit them…and see how much money these institutions would make! I guess they would be more successful then.

I am so freaking tired of people on their high horse acting like they haven’t made a dag gum mistake. How many of you have ncaa football 11 in your house? Who bought his nike jersey to go with some shoes. I don’t know AJ Green personally but he has been a good athlete and student since he has been at UGA. There needs to be some type of sanction for the racist comments that are posted here. This ain’t Hitler and it isn’t the 1940’s. If AJ makes another monetary error, drill his butt in the ground. But if not leave him and his family the hell alone. Its stupid and I am personally tired of some ya’ll acting like you just finished at billy grahan seminary. Oh I am sorry, let me repeat myself” gents let’s car ourselves in a professional manner. Let’s correct our actions and become one united in good debate”. Bullcrap. Stop all this hatin and if that is what you do, take your comments to the freakin KKKK. Have you every been to Summerville? There is nothing there. It’s not like he took a gram of coke or mary jane and sold it. He took his jersey, his blood, sweat and tears off his body and sold it. Mass media calls it advertising. I am not saying it was right, but as long as EA sports, The NCAA and lastly UGA benefited, then it is what it is. I am UGA for life good, bad or indifferent. Good luck AJ!

I see so many crazy comments on this blog. I was a former walk-on at UGA. Yes, it is true that scholarship players have their tuition and room and board paid for while they are in college. With that being said, find me one kid in college that does not want to go out to dinner with their friends, go to a movie, go on a date, etc… Some of these kids have families that simply cannot afford some of these luxuries.
The NCAA has some really stupid rules. They claim that the rules are designed to protect the amateur status of the athlete and the integrity of the sport.
I can assure you that there is one NCAA rule that most athletes of major sports and all school violate each year. The rule that they break is that they all sell their allotted tickets each week. It is one way to get some spending money.
I know that there needs to be rules but there has to be some changes made to the current situation.

Nothing more than selling a jersey. But lying to NCAA is unforgivable, according to the high and mighty NCAA. Penalty is absolutely unfair, considering the Bama player got twice that amount of money. Additionally, Green donated his profits to charity, thus got nothing for his efforts. How about the Bama and other players: did they donate or keep their loot?
As for stipends or paying these athletes because the university profits from them (Indentured servants, etc) and the athletes get nothing, I call BS. They get four years free tuition at a major university, opportunity to earn a degree from same university, free books, meals, room, perks such as scooters, a chance to continue their passion in the pros, celebrity status on campus and all the women they want. Come on, they are getting plenty for playing the game. They will get their financial rewards when they reach the pros. However they want it NOW.
Finally, A J knew the rules, knew that selling memorabilia was against the rules. He violated the rules and must accept the consequences. However the consequences should be fair in comparison to violations by other players. Sad part is that he let his coaches, teammates and fans down. We expected better of you, A J!

Nice post bad apple…..this is a team sport…the fans get so hyped up on “five star” prima donnas who don’t produce and bring the program down…..look at what Boise State did the other night, as a team, without the “five stars” wearing 2 carat earrings…..CMR needs to get with clue….but the “fans” drive him to making these bad decisions. You would think that Green is the second coming….yet he’s never gone over 1000 yards receiving…its a joke….I called Green “overrated” tonight and some Georgia “fan” acted like I had said Jesus is not the son of God….its really laughable for a receiver who has done relatively little in his career.

So people think that Dareus got off with less for a bigger crime. Not quite.
Dareus did everything by the book once he found out that the party was hosted by an agent. He flew immediately back home, called Saban, met with him that day, and Alabama compliance was on the matter that day. Everything was done by the book as soon as we found out. We went to the NCAA about the matter. They did not have to come to us to find out what happened as with Green.
The NCAA also publicly noted that Dareus was “about the most truthful student athlete we’ve ever dealt with”. The NCAA’s words. Not mine.
And if you think the NCAA is easy on Bama then why did Bama linebacker Jerrell Harris get suspended 6 games last year for of all things accepting a laptop as a gift from an AUBURN grad of all things. Sheesh!
Every case is different and I can assure you that the NCAA does Bama no favors. That is especially true given the fact that the NCAA used every dirty trick in the book including using a rival coach as a “secret witness” and falsifying evidence as proven in court documents to hang Bama in the 2002-2005 probation.

So – the fool that is going to be a multimillionaire in about 6 months from now – couldn’t hold off selling his crap??

Gen Neyland,
The truth may be the difference. Jerrell Harris got a 6 game suspension because an Auburn grad gave him a laptop. The laptop the NCAA didn’t have a problem with. It was the fact that Harris was not truthful about it that he got a 6 game suspension last year.
Dareus got a 2 game suspension because he was completely truthful to the NCAA in their own words.
AJ we don’t know about. I just know that if you are the least bit misleading or forthcoming as in volunteering information that they will hang your ass. And it well could have been that maybe AJ wasn’t completely forthcoming about the jersey. Who knows? But I’m sure they had a reason for a 4 game suspension. Somehow that logic seems to escape a lot of people on here.

The comments on UNC players getting a 2 game suspension from the NCAA are silly. The players are being held out by the school – the NCAA has yet to rule on Austin or Little (the 2 players directly implicated in AgentGate). Doesn’t look to me as if the NCAA was dragging their feet on AJ while coming down easy on UNC – not to mention Weslye Saunders at SC who still hasn’t received a definitive answer from the NCAA

If not for the university would any of these kids be able to afford the expert instruction offered by a Nick Saban or Mark Richt or the various position coaches or coordinators? Think they could just skip the school part and pay Saban a million or 2 a year to coach them out of their own pocket in the hopes that they may or may not make it? Uh, no. I don’t think so.

I agree with you too, that college players don’t have any value as a player except that its provided to them FROM the schools. They get plenty of return for agreeing to a scholarship. They don’t need to get paid. I agree with the NCAA having no tolerance for this kind of stuff. Where do you draw the line. I do think they go overboard trying to restrict the perception of “preferential” treatment though.

It was the 2nd trip he reported. The first trip he had no idea that it was even worth reporting because it was early in the summer and all that happened on that trip is that he went to a party, find out it was an agent, and left and didn’t think anything of it. This was before the whole agent gate thing so probably no one thought much about it. He just had enough sense to leave asap.
The 2nd time he paid Marvin Austin cash for his ticket when his plane landed in Miami. And he got a receipt for it. Went to a party found out again that an agent was having it and left. He also didn’t use the hotel that Austin got for him. He stayed with relatives since he was from Miami. But this second time he called his family and had them pay for his return trip to Bama and met with Saban that afternoon to explain what happened And of course the compliance dept came in also. To tell you the truth we are all ticked that he got a 2 game suspension since he was forthcoming with the NCAA and since he reported it when it happened a 2nd time.

I think you are spot on about the NCAA going overboard on things.
Mark Ingram and Julio went on the infamous fishing trip last summer with the same Auburn grad who Julio had known for years and had a friendship relationship with. The man wasn’t even a football fan. He was a wheelchair bound man who had been going on charters at the marina for years and when Julio worked there the last few summers he would help the guy in and out of the boats and they had a little bit of a friendship from there since he was such a regular.
Anyway, for helping him in the boat and helping with his rigging and baiting and general mobility while on the boat the guy asked if he could pay for Julio and Mark since they were helping him. They said sure since there wasn’t anything fishy so to speak about it. Nobody thought anything about it and frankly I don’t see anything wrong with it since the guy was an Auburn man, had a son at AU, his whole family was AU fans but this guy just didn’t give a hoot about football. Oddly enough his business was called Eagle supply but that was cause I think his business was in the Auburn Opelika area.
This is the kind of overboard pun intended with the fishing trip that the ncaa went. And to top it off they made Julio disassociate with this old fart- a guy he had known and liked for several years and vice versa. That was the sad part about the whole thing.

I’m not doubting he is 100% honest, but it sounds like he did have some liability there. Careless at the very least. Not knowing the NCAA was asking around does not make it something that nobody should have thought anything about. The NCAA looking into it was not what made it wrong. It was wrong is why they were looking into it. The fact that he tried to make sure to cover himself properly the second time tells you that he knew he had not the first time. If he had immediately reported it the first time, he would be playing Saturday.

That would probably be about right. He came completely clean the 2nd time cause he realized he didn’t come forward the first time when he should have. I guess he just thought leaving the party the first time would suffice without him bringing the ncaa into it and opening up a whole can of worms for all the guys that did stay at the party.
In any event in regards to the guy in Miami hosting those parties and the agent who bought the AJ jersey these guys need to be dealt with harshly. I even think I will call them pimps. Bottom line is they need to be cleaned out- they just cost these star players some serious playing time.

I remember that fishing trip story. Ranks right up there with the giving a kid a ride to his home town to deal with family crisis being a problem stories. I understand its a tough thing to police the big time world of college sports. I usually think the NCAA is right, or at least you can understand the can of worms they face if they don’t have very strict rules. I actually think they handled the AJ Green investigation pretty well. It would seem that they worked it out between him, the school, and the rule book before letting it out. Would have much easier to just strip all of these kids of thier eligibility and call it a day. I do think the appeal in our case will result in less games. Issue the standard max, and then make UGA give them a reason, for the record, to make it less. I think they just knew that In the Bama player case, they would have granted a 2 game reduction, so they saved the trouble.

Any fan of a team other than UGA that truly thinks that “their” players never do wrong is lying. So, nobody under the age of 21 on GTs,Bamas,Florida’s,Auburns,etc..have drank alchohol in the last 12 months? None of them driven on a suspended license? These are the majority of the types of incidents that UGA players are cited with. The difference is that the players from other programs either don’t get caught…or do get caught but local law enforcement let them off so as not to hurt the football team. Richt doesn’t need to be fired because his players do nothing more than other teams. What he needs to do is figure out why the local law enforcement in his town is hell bent on citing as many football players as possible for things that they warn,or turn the other cheek, fraternity and sorority kids for. Over 50% of UGAs roster today has been cited for one thing or another in the last 3 years. Hell, Richt suspended Clint Boling for a game for “wreckless driving” 2 years ago. You get cited for anything at UGA and you get suspended…no questions. You think that you could go down to the KA house and find 50% of that group that has been cited in the same time period? And that is what fraternitys are known for…a lot of drinking and partying. But it doesn’t earn the local Barney Fifes respect when they haul one of those boys down to the station. But a football player…now that’ll get you noticed. So they just like to hang out in ambush mode waiting for a football player to drive a scooter the wrong way down a one way street. At UGA…that gets you cited , suspended, and front page news. At Bama,Florida etc., that gets a cop a chance to talk shop about the upcoming opponent with a “playa” on the football team. He , in turn, gets to brag about how he talked to so and so and give all his buddies down at the station the inside scoop on the “big game” coming up. Kids do these minor things at all schools…but the Athens and UGA police have a different mindset than more “program friendly” towns. So, Richt, you need to find out why your local cops hate your team…and make that go away. Then, you can be seen as running a righteous program like Saban,Meyer, etc.

Octavius,
Of course every kid at every one of these schools does all these stupid little things. I’ve been to Athens and obviously Tuscaloosa and one thing I’ve noticed is that Athens is a little more spread out. Bama seems to be a little more compact with the frats, sororitys, the campus and players dorm-everything all right there together. Not as much reason for a Bama player to be driving and especially driving drunk with a lot of the stuff close together so that’s a small part of the reason we’ve had less of the stupid stuff like the citations and driving on suspended licenses.
But I will say though that Saban does a little better job of discipline because players really fear his consequences. He regularly boots guys for attitude and misbehavior- basically just breaking team rules, kind of nipping it in the bud. If you fear being booted from school just for breaking a team rule than odds are you’re probably going to be that much more fearful of doing something that will get you arrested.
Not saying Richt is running a thug program or anything like that. Just saying that even after accounting for the really stupid stuff like public intox and driving without a license that there still seems to be too many problems and that he needs to tighten the reins some.
That’’s it. I’m out guys.

As far as I’m concerned, A. J. Greene should leave or be removed from UGA football. Taking $1000 for a jersey from the independence bowl is stupid. If a snot nosed kid from Podunk can’t keep his grimy, greedy hands in his pockets in view of obtaining a degree or moving on to a professional level then let him suffer the consequences. Moreover, I don’t believe A J has contributed anywhere near the press rating and blog stories. I am unconvinced his professional career is a given and I damned well do not see a major contribution to offense at UGA. Move him on.

With this stupid event, how do you not hold Mark Richt accountable? Has his staff not educated the players about the rules? No excuses this time. This is at his feet. If Green was informed and STILL sold the jersey, he should have to sit out.
Now Richt better hope Ealey plays and runs wild. A loss to South Carolina will pretty much end Georgia’s chance of winning the SEC East in my opinion, because it is almost a certainty that there will be at least one, maybe two more SEC losses. McGarity has made it clear he expects improvement. The athletic board and boosters are becoming impatient (not the fans who post on blogs, the REAL donors).

HAVE WE, AS A SOCIETY, MISSED THE POINT? He gets in trouble for selling something that is not his and people complain? I just read an idiot writer for SI (Andy Staples) who was whining about how UGA makes money selling jerseys so why shouldn’t Green get in a little action. Well, here is the same situation in a different perspective. I work at a store. I get a little amount of money compared to what the store makes. My department is making them big bucks due to my efforts. Based on this SO writer’s argument I should be able to sell anything I want out of my department (even tho it is not mine) and keep the money. That is what Green did and it is a crime. Now, UGA wants to enable this behavior of breaking the law and have the NCAA forget the whole thing happened. In my job at the store I would get fired and probably arrested and never get my job back nor welcomed back to the store. This might explain why UGA has so many arrests and issues. THIS WAS BREAKING THE LAW AND NOW UGA WANTS TO TEACH HIM A LIFE LESSON. HOW PATHETIC. This is the same type of stuff that put this country in the outhouse. People illegally and morally stole from others and Oblahblahblah bank roles them out with billions of dollars. Does anybody think this is wrong? Does anyone understand that there are thousands of teens and preteens that use him as a role model and have now learned that it is OK to steal and because he is so valuable he is welcomed back with open arms. So many hypocrites that complain about crime and education problems in Georgia and think Green is getting the shaft.

I’ve found it strange that Tech fans are so upset over AJ then it occurred to me why. They can’t give away home tickets, even with the attraction of free cokes, hot dogs and Playboys. Let alone sell anything remotely close to resembling a Tech jersey. Yet here is one UGA player that is able to make a grand off just one of his. A grand would purchase 1,000 Tech tickets. Now I get it.

This is absurd! Dareus gets two games for attending an AGENT PARTY in Miami and straight out taking almost $2,000 in free cash and only gets two games. AJ Green sells a jersey that he owns to a guy the NCAA at best can describe as “qualifying as an agent”, and gets four freakin games???????????????????!!!! And this is fair how? Screw it! We are talented enough to win without him, but there will be NO MERCY on opposing defenses when he gets back. For those of you who thinks he is our only playmaker, just sit back and watch these next three games. This team is deep, and has enough talent to get through this. Go DAWGS! BEAT uSC!!!

Actually, for being so stupid, his punishment should have been much greater…..he should have been kicked off the team for the duration of the four games he can’t play in. I know y’all are pretty liberal down there in Athens because of your EGO regarding your football? team, but me thinks if another incident surfaces involving any player, the administration at UGA will be forced to do something……maybe your next coach

The Bama kid told the truth. “Yes I was there at he party” He knew if he had to answer to Saban he may never wear Crimson agian. AJ Green when asked about the party “didnt go, dont know what you are talking about”. Clearly Green is not scared what his coach might do to him. There is a trend at UGA. More and more players arrested, nothing really happens to them. Ever notice how Bama players dont get arrested. Richts players need discipline both on and of the field. This type of news will be the norm at UGA untill a staff comes in and teaches responsibilities. His players just dont get it. I am not a hater, I am just calling it like I see it.

This is going to take awhile, so here goes. A.J., I don’t have to ask the question if you are stupid or not, you have proven that. Your actions have helped bring down Coach Richt even more in the media for not being able to CONTROL his players. I know for a fact that he does a great job of doing that, but I guess you are just another one of those who lets it go in one ear and out the other. You do your own thing! Just think, you sell a jersey (that you did not buy) and sell it for a $1000.00; several months from now you will have a chance to become a millionaire, does that make sense?
You can apoligize to your team mates, coaches, and fans all you want; that is nothing but BS. You are another one of those who does not give a damn about TEAM, it’s all about you! You need to pay the UGA back it’s scholarship money back for you time of your suspension, your not doing us any good; just giving UGA another bad rap! Last time I checked, it took 4 years to receive a degree in the area of your study, you’ll never make it! You will flip your finger to UGA, go to the pros early and sell all the balls you catch or jersys you have on E-bay for all you want. That’s truth and you know it. Or you will be like many other UGA players, you get expossed to an NFL team that you don”t have the brains to compete in that league; so you flip burgers for a living. In your case you possess all the characteristics of being great! It is sad to say that another agent or the same will be pumping you up to turn pro after you 6-7 games at UGA this year. Those people don’t give a damn about you, only what you can bring to them “$”!
I, along with most of the “Nation” would like to see you take the high road to your success in the pros. Rededicate yourself to UGA, prove to yourself that you can achieve a 4 year degree and be a positive role model. The low road is an early departure, if that is the road you take, you validated everything what has been said. And, if that is the way it is going to be; please quit now, pay your schorlarship money back to UGA, hire you a pimp agent who is not concerned about you, and last of all, haul ass out of UGA and let us start all over coaching a freshman who wants to learn and have a future at UGA.
I’m all about forgiveness, but prove that you are worthy; where are you at!
I read these blogs, and all of these people who are behind you 100% in your actions, well, there morals are no higher than yours if you choose that route. I’ve been there (UGA football career), I know what it takes; believe and trust me, there is life after football. Are you going to become a great ambassador from UGA, or continue to follow a thugs life?
In the words of the great “Erk Russell”, (if you even know who he is,) “Do what’s right”!

Top performing college athletes become celebrities. Celebrity status inflates their egos and makes them greedy for attention and money, and like a drug, they just want more and more. Perhaps a college course in character development would help them to recognize the pitfalls of becoming self-important and greedy celebrities.

The oddest thing about this too me is that the jersey is a part of the bowl package, its a gift for making and playing in the bowl game. Kind of like getting a NCAA jacket when you get to the tournament in basketball. So it yours rite? U should be able to sell it for however much to whomever you’d like. For that reason alone, I feel the NCAA will back down and Green will play this weekend. U want this to stop? Start compensating the college athlete w/ more than an education, like he’s there to get that in the first place.

I feel bad for AJ Green, totally unfair bc I was a college student-athlete. The NCAA has a big problem on their hand & it’s basically all their fault. The NCAA makes millions & millions of dollars off these kids. So the University can pay these big time coaches whatever high demand salary they want but can’t pay the kids who are actually making them who they are in the 1st place. But even if they payed the student athletes “a salary”, the agents would still be dishing out extra cash to the future lottery picks or franchise players. It’s definitely a lose lose for NCAA. Just my take on it..

The NCAA makes a mountain out of a mole hill, and continues to rake in cash hand over fist exploiting these young men for there talent on the football field.

September 9th, 2010

The truth of the matter is that he knew the rules, broke them, and from all that has been reported lied when questioned about the sale of his jersey. The lying is what got him the 4 games. Whether you agree with the rule or not, it is there for a reason. Imagine what would happen if the players were allowed to sell memorabilia. This would open the door to that wealthy alumnus paying $5000 for that game jersey or $3000 for the chin strap he wore when making the winning catch or perhaps $10,000 for that coveted helmet. What a can of worms would be opened if we allowed players to sell their own items. We would then have boosters basically buying recruits with over the top payments and there would never be an even playing field again. If you think that players should be paid, why not just support a farm system for the pros similar to what they have in baseball and forget about college football altogether because paying the players would only create a different level of professional football. I would agree with a weekly allowance set by the NCAA and equal across the board but anything else would create the same system we have in the pros….the stars being vastly overpaid.

Here is another case where the NCAA got it all wrong.. A kid has a catastophic knee injury as a freshmen in JUCO. It takes him 2 years to get his knee back together & playing @ a high level. He returns to bball after those 2 years to play his sophomore year @ another JUCO. He has a standout year & is rewarded a full scholarship to play @ Iowa State & goes on to average a double double in the Big 12!! Well he is classified as a Senior. He APPEALED to the NCAA for a 5th or 6th year of eligibilty (medical hardship) & they DENIED him!! This is a kid who potentially would have went into that next season & perhaps had an even better year & get drafted in the 2011 NBA Draft.. The NCAA definitely dropped the ball on this one!!

I know all you UGAY idiots think the punishment is to harsh but consider this. Maybe the NCAA is sick and tired of all the crap that comes out of Athens every season, what with all the UGAY players getting arrested every year and now the former AD getting arrested with CMR’s panties in his lap no less maybe they are making an example out of AJ. UGAY officials should also want to make an example of him instead of sweeping it aside as they always do..case in point washaun ealey. Everyone knows there is more to the story than UGAY officials will admit, you don’t leave the scene of an accident for nothing, what a joke to say he left the scene because it wasn’t his car and because he had a suspended license. As anyone with a brain knows the car owner would find out anyway so why run and if his license was suspended it was for a reason, (DUI MAYBE?) Washaun was most likely high, drunk or getting a bj from CMR when it happened and this is another cover up from the fine leadership at UGAY. UGAY is so used to this even their recruits are getting in on the action early so they can be well skilled at running afoul of the rules when they enroll..READ CHRISTIAN LEMAY!!! his daddy thought the school and community should bow down to his boy and change the rules–they didn’t and now UGA has a prized recruit that will have played his last football game 2 years before being eligible to hit the field in gay town. Oh well that is typical of UGAY athletes and officials..STUPID, THUG WANNABE, ALCOHOLICS

UGA defeated # 1 Texas in the Cotton Bowl,10-9 in 1983 after Walker went to the N Jersey Generals.
Texas did not scoore a TD on UGA and John Lastinger olled around his right end and scored one late.
My point? UGA or for that matter, ANY team can move forward with out the so claled star. Take Florida, they likely will do well this year AFTER Tim Tebow’s departure.
UGA fans ………….the team either crumbles or they act like men. I am sure that TG will have his side of the ball ready …………will the UGA O? Will Ealey come out and be a man? Will Wooten? Will Orson and will the UGA Offensive line? Will they have some attitude?
How about Marlon Brown? He was a super star 6′5″ receiver in HS, so prove it in Columbia. Supposedly he is equal to a Julio Jones or AJ ………….. he did come back to the ball last Saturday, which is something UGA receivers never do. Marlon might fill in nicely.
Kids ought to be thinking ” um, ah, NOW this is my shot” and I am going to grab the brass ring. If they are really competitors ………..let them show it, gang.
We should be fine and very aggressive in Columbia. We will need some close in turn overs for sure.

NCAA should be ashamed of what they are doing. They deliberatly waited as long as possible before giving out the punishment. Knowing that the appeal process would take long enough to last through his next three games. This is not intended to hurt AJ but a direct slap in the face of the UGA football program. Do you really think he was the only kid in college to sell a jersey? Give me a damn break. He is just a high profile player for UGA and the NCAA dug deep to find something to hurt the program. YES, I believe it is all related to the law suit over the NCAA being a monopoly. UGA won then and will win now. Find someone else to screw with. Looks to me like they are scared of Alabama because Saban aint going to put up with their crap.

I hate to say it, but this program is out of control and there is no other way to say it. Richt is a fraud and that’s all there is to it.
That sums it up nicely. The kind of crap that goes on at UGA is not happening anywhere else, at least not remotely to the degree that it is in Athens.
#1drunk party school, the Fulmer Cup, players routinely lying to the coaches, 44 arrests, Damon Evans and other DUIs in the athletic office, Jan Kemp, Jim Harrick, etc. This sh*t only happens at UGA, where Mark Richt has zero control or influence over the players. Things are completely out of control, and most dawgtards still have their heads buried in the sand.
It’s just going to get unimaginably worse until Richt is sacked and replaced by a head coach who has morals and integrity.
Until then, enjoy watching the red panties falling from the sky.

UGA folks can brag all you want to about beating Tech in football most years, and that’s perfectly fair. What’s also fair is to point out that with a history of Jan Kemp (Vince Dooley days), Jim Harrick, Damon Evans, and 44 arrests, UGA is truly “The Cesspool of the South,” and is richly deserving of that title. No one outside of Georgia has any respect for UGA or its athletic department, and that is a fact. It has been said many times: “Tech people are proud of their school, Georgia people are proud of their team.” What a legacy to be proud of!

I wonder if any of the books about UGA football include the perspective of someone speaking for the late Jan Kemp? The perspective that “student” athletes like Lindsay Scott were playing years without taking college level courses? That the proudest moment of the football program was earned by players who never earned a single college credit?
Dawgtards love to return to 1980, but their memories are really short when it comes to remembering an earthshaking event that happened a few years later that showed the world what a joke UGA athletes were and what a scam artist their beloved Vince Dooley was (and is). So for all those dawgtards with short memories or who think their athletes are actually taking real courses and trying to graduate, here’s the quote that broke the trial wide open and showed what a slimeball Dooley is:
O. Hale Almand Jr., a lawyer for the defense, offered a justification for the favorable treatment accorded the athletes, citing a hypothetical player. “We may not make a university student out of him,” he told the jury, “but if we can teach him to read and write, maybe he can work at the post office rather than as a garbageman when he gets through with his athletic career.”
Nothing has changed at UGA, they just do a slightly better job of keeping things quiet, but that’s hard to do when 44 of your player-thugs have been arrested, isn’t it?

This is another example of why the NCAA is outdated. The NCAA is a Billion Dollar a year buisness that gets free labor from student athletes that have no rights at all to their name or image. The NCAA makes tons of cash off of the players, schools can drop a player at anytime for no reason at all (a scholarship if for one year only with the school having the sole right to determine if they want to continue it), but the student athele can’t change their mind without a penalty, i.e. they have to sit out a whole season.

Mark it down. Georgia will win the next three games with or without AJ. Yes, Chris Durham is no AJ, but he is more than just an average player. Too many weapons on offence people. If we were defecient in the other skilled positions, I could see your point. Not the case here. If Grantham can keep our defence playing the way they were, all will be fine. The pollsters at the end of the year will be saying, they were winning without him, imagine what they will be like when he returns. All is fine in Dawgland. Relax, sit back and watch.

No argument with the suspension—bring the whip down on intentionally stupid behavior every time—but the NCAA should identify the agent and deal him some consequences too. Schools can’t ban the jerk from campus if they don’t know who he is.

No Dad people pay big bucks when they need help with computers. Writing software for big companies and making smart investments pays off big if you don’t waste your money donating to a program like UGA.

I find it highly entertaining that these comments are being made for a number of reasons:
1. Not one of you know what the hell you are talking about. You weren’t there. You don’t know if AJ lied or not. You don’t know who it was sold to. You don’t know anything that hasn’t been released for general consumption.
2. Everything turns back to us vs. them instead of being about the issue here I’d say about half the comments are demeaning toward one team or another. Grow up.
People make bad choices all the time. Including every one of us. Get off your high horse, let the kid do his time and move on.

The NFL and The NCAA must be in cahoots, seems the maximun penalty for an incident is four games. A.J. gets 4 games for selling a jersey, Rothlesberger get 4 games for raping a girl. Seems fair….NOT

AJ wasn’t suspended for selling his jersey to an agent. He was suspended for taking money from an agent and trying to cover it up to look like he was just selling a jersey. Think about it; an Independence abowl jersey, for $1000? Come on. His UGA home jersey is worth more! Bottom line, he took money from an agent. He got off easy. And yes, I am a Dawg fan (Class of ‘85). I’m just not blind to reality.

While we’re at it, the poor decision making skills of other students at UGA does not lessen my degree. I worked damn hard for two degrees and find it offensive that people who attended other schools think less of it. Just because I didn’t attend school to become a doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc does not mean I didn’t get a quality education.
For the Tech fans who continue to make commentary about how player actions reflect upon my school, I point out that I attended the #19 Public College in the US. As for arrests and poor behavior, I ask you to look to your school. Every school has students arrested. Every school has students who make bad decisions. Last I checked, you had someone convicted of making videos of the US to help terrorists. That was national news but I don’t judge your degree based on that. I don’t bring that up to incite a riot but simply to show that none of us has room to judge.

@Clark CO. PD I never said in Richt i Trust or anything of the like. I simply pointed out we are all passing judgement on a situation we really don’t know anything about. Per usual apparently.
I’m not saying nothing needs to be done but what qualifies any of us to be the judge of what that should be?

Let me get this straight: 2 people (Green & Agent) are involved in breaking a NCAA rule. As a result, one of them gets suspended for 4 games which could potentially alter his future career and is depicted as a “criminal” by media outlets. The other remains nameless, faces no punishment and continues his professional career as if he never did anything wrong. Does anyone else think there is something wrong with this picture? Sports agents are without a doubt the primary source of corruption in college football and should face some sort of recourse for their involvement in breaking NCAA rules. Until that precedent is set, they will continue to negatively impact the lives of student-athletes and the respective institutions for which they play for.

Well, the more the NCAA is in the news and more participation they have makes it easy for them to justify their huge salaires for their elitist existance. I am slowly turning away from college football and becoming a sole NFL watcher. Who needs this kind of crap happening every year. Oh did the so called agent go to jail? Why not?

We know he was suspended and he wouldn’t get suspended for nothing right? Fan is short of Fanatic and that gives us the right to boo poor play and bit-ch all we want.

I don’t know if all is true or not with AJ. I would like to know why they are so much trouble at uga. You don’t hear about that stuff at Tech. Also I would like to tell uga fans that you are goung to loose sat. against sc and that your hardest home game by far will be TECH!! That is no brainer!!

The NCAA is being irrationale. Sure, Green should be punished because he did violate a rule, but obviously the NCAA has no concept of relativity. Ealey drives on a suspended license, hits a parked care, leaves the scene, and get a one game suspension. Tennessee players beat the hell out of a police officer and get to play. I guess the NCAA feels that Green’s violation is 4 times as bad as these other examples. Good rationale NCAA……knuckleheads.

Dawgpound: I agree in principal with what you are saying, but the bottom line here is Green put himself in a compromising position by so much as talking to an agent to begin with. Bottom line here is once the NCAA did away with athletic dorms, coaches-ANY coaches lost any kind of control they once had over players-PERIOD! Nick Saban was saying when Darius got caught that an agent’s license should be suspended for messing around with college players. Think he would have said that, or been as concerned if one of HIS players hadn’t been involved? I seriously doubt it! Although I will say this for Darius- he did admit HIS wrongdoing. To my knowledge, Green never did.
