As the rules state, whether this guy is an agent or not, you cannot profit off your status as a college football player. The rules are there and AJ was told. It doesn’t matter what this guy did or did not say. AJ knew better and did it anyway. Time he mans up and takes responsibility. He’s not some multi million dollar NFL talent who can buy his way out of breaking rules. Cowboy up, take it like a man, and move on. Saban says agents are pimps? No one is making these kids become prostitutes. It’s their choice.

Asheville Dawg, you are a fool if you think A.J. Green’s GAME WORN jersey is only worth $350. Some of the REPLICA jerseys are sold for $100. This one was actually worn in a game by a future top 5 pick in the NFL draft. If you are a collector of game used jerseys, i might need to buy some from you. Then again, pee wee football jerseys really dont interest me.

I think he should be punished but 4 games is excessive. Why should he get 4 for a lesser infaction than Dareus? I know the Bammers will claim he lied but there is no word of it and any word of it would be purely speculation.

BTW, I wanting to point out to the People that doubt Richts toughness on discipline and claim it’s the reason the Dawgs don’t win like the gators with Urbie is his lack of discipline in these matters that 2 players were arrested 6 days prior to the first UF game for underage possession of alcohol and neither was suspended. King was suspended for 1 game. How was that tough on discipline?

Green is an idiot kid but the NCAA are truly evil assh**es. These athletes are exploited for their talent, the universities make millions, the NCAA sux profits off the top like a fricking mob family, the NFL waves millions in front of the nation’s best players, and some poor “usually” black kid gets smoked for selling a shirt for $1000 to a jackleg agent wannebee. O – and the alumni (me included) shake our heads and whine about these dumb jocks Richt recruits.

For those saying AJ needs to “man up” and “take responsibility,” he is doing just that. He hasn’t complained loudly like many prima donnas would. He has stated that what he did was wrong, he regrets it and apologized. What else can he do to man up?

UGA is appealing the decision. Not because no crime was committed, but because the punishment is excessive. The fact that the guy is “considered” an agent should have no bearing on the case if AJ didn’t know he would be “considered” as such and if he’s NOT ACTUALLY AN AGENT.

Long and short of it: Green sold his jersey for $1000. Pay it back. 2-game suspension. DONE.

Get back to playing ball.

I’m a die hard UGA fan but lets please stop the poor AJ got taken advantage of crap. This guy AJ was dealing with is a runner for GD sports agent and not some memorabilia collector. This jersey is not even close to being worth a $1000 bucks and never will be. AJ was dealing indirectly with an agent thru this runner and the $1000 was the agents way of funneling money to AJ thru the guise of a memorabilia collector. WTF would a collector overpay for a jersey? The buy low and sell high. The only reason AJ did not get the Dez Bryant treatment is NCAA didn’t have enough evidence to prove what they knew was really going on. That is why he got a 4 game suspension instead of a one or two game. AJ is dirty folks, he knew an agent was funneling money his way.

If anyone believes that the 1000.00 dollars is only money AJ Green has ever accepted from an advance agent…we have a ton of property off the coast of Brunswick that is ready for development after the water is drained.

AJ Green and every other POSSIBLE first round pick(junior or senior) has been approached by agents,agents reprensentatives, runners, or through a family member, fraternity brother and have been given gratutities. The number( totally guessing) is around 80% who accepted illegal forms of money, or gifts and if anyone who has ever been around a major college program will validate the facts that this takes place.

The problem UGA will now encounter is the fact Pandora’s box is open and the NCAA will be living on and around the campus. The issues with arrest and suspensions also casts a long shadow and as many of you know..when the NCAA investigators start it is hard for them to leave town, without someone’s head on the chopping block.

If anyone thinks AJ or any other player mentioned in this years investigations at UGA, ALA, UF, UNC, USC or AU is not guilty of taking some illegal forms(as determined by the NCAA) of gifts, monies or extra benefits…please let me know about making a down payment on that property just off Glynn County.

Go to secstore.com and look for UGA football jerseys. There are eighteen #8 jerseys on page 1, some of them selling for as much as $150. So basically, the conference, the university, and the NCAA can make money selling replicas of Green’s jersey, but he can’t sell a jersey that is his property? This is a flawed rule that demonstrates the hypocrisy that permeates the NCAA.

As an old UGA Alumnus, class of ‘59,I for one am tired of all this crap with UGA athletes. These guys are getting a free ride with an education from a very good University which probably relates to about 100K to say the least over a 4 year period. I do realize that many of them come from very deprived backgrounds, but that does not give them the right to go out and do what they please to satisfy their own personal desires. A.J. surely knew that what he did was against the rules, and, if not then shame on the powers to be for not setting the table with what was right and what was not allowed. If he did, in fact know what he did as wrong, then his punishment is justified,and frankly I think he should have been suspended for the whole season. If coach Richt does not stop this charade that is happening with his players, then he should be relieved of his job. I know he cannot baby-sit all of these guys, but what is happening with his players is unacceptable. He is being well compensated for his work, and what is happening with regard to UGA football players is an embarrasment to not only the Univ. of Ga., but to the State of Georgia. JMHO

Memo to Loco/Bobo: Nice evaluation on Cameron Newton. Sheesh. Let’s just let him go to Auburn. You know what Uga fans; this follows an utterly insane pattern of Uga allowing in-state quarterbacks to leave the state and then incredibly lead their respective teams to national titles !!!. LOOK: Homer Jordan, Athens, Clemson National Title, Charlie Ward, Thomasville, Heisman Winner. FSU National Title, Sean Jones, Thomasville, Ga. Tech National Title, and now a talent like Newton is allowed to go to Auburn. Not only do you fail to sign the kid, you in effect empower your rival and give them a good chance to kick your butt! Richt needs to sell the lake house, get serious, or get gone, and Bobo needs to head to Valdosta State. Utterly inexcusable Georgia fans. Newton was just interviewed after the Miss. State win. Very impressive young man who has taken the nation by storm. What in the world were Richt and Bobo thinking.?! The kid is from Atlanta and attended the same school (Westlake) as Sean Jones, your All-American safety now with the Browns. Newton was rated the No.1 Juco player in AMERICA damnit!. For the life of me I don’t see how you Georgia fans take it.You never have and never will do anything about these collossal screwups. Simply amazing.

As to the suspension, yes imo it is steep, but it is what it is….Do we say the season is over if one gets a “high ankle” sprain and he might be out 3 or 4 weeks?….no we press on…..but just leave it to the mighty AJC to beat a dead horse. I get better reporting from “rumors” around everywhere verses what these bonehead anti Dawg haters here report.

I think SC has a top 15 team this year and will only lose 3 games. But I think UGA is much better . UGA will beat SC 24- 10. Richt seems very confident that UGA has a really good team this year. I think the reason is because of Todd Grantham. And after watching Auburn tonight I am not near as concerned about Auburn unless they improve a lot by the Georgia game. UGA’s blitz would have stopped Auburn’s offensive completely tonight. Saturday’s games will tell us a lot about who are the contenders and who are the pretenders .

College athletes (especially football players) are given the chance at a 4-year education (which according to the UGA and GT website is about $20,000/yr in state and $38,000/yr out of state), free tutoring, access to healthcare, the chance to prove that they can play at the next level, etc. etc. so don’t even talk about the so-called “plantation mentality.”

I work for a company. The company pays me for my time/talent/effort. The company makes a big profit because of me (and my coworkers). I like my job and am proud of what I do. Does this mean I have the plantation mentality?

If these over-indulged spoiled athletes don’t like the system in college athletics, they are free not to participate. They can take out student loans, work part-time jobs, etc. like the rest of the student body and graduate $40,000 (or more) in debt. That’s the way that free enterprise works!

It does matter folks. All those of you claiming this was just some payola from an agent are dead wrong. I doubt this guy is going to be the one negotiating AJ’s NFL contract do you? Pimping his jock strap, maybe. As it was obvious 2 days ago, UGA believes they have something TO appeal. Lying to the NCAA, taking bribes from an agent, and tossing him an meaningless shirt as a front, are NOT very strong cases to march into “court” with. Nor would that publically be trying . As its stands AJ broke a rule. A rule BTW simply made up by men who try to figure out how best to play a pretend game. He didn’t break a law, he didn’t snap some body’s neck. The details matter because we are dealing with rules of a game, suspensions from a game, and he(UGA) needs to try to get him the best possible outcome within those rules, to get back to the game. THUS the appeal, and it sounds like it should be successful.

Then his coach and teammates can handle letting them down, as that is the only morally wrong thing he did. There is the life lesson. But, the issue of the day is a rule that somebody makes up to play a game.

Let me see, GT and UGA started the SEC. UGA has 12 SEC titles or a share there of. GT has 5 SEC titles or a share there of. While GT was in the SEC GT had more SEC titles than UGA. UGA has 12 titles in 76 years, uck! Coach Bryant’s biggest fear was Playing GT. Playing against intelligent football players really scared him. But when Bryant and UGA coach Butts were caught trading plays on the phone so AL cold run up the score on UGA making AL look good better then they were to have a chance at the National Championship, something had to happen. The SEC did nothing. So GT left the no class conference. I agree 1,000 for a UGA Jersey is a bit exaggerated.

If every coach had to kick every kid off their team that made mistakes then there would be no football ever.

I see these kids sitting in meetings being told not to talk to agents and instead this guy was a Facebook firend who “collects” jerseys. That’s all he was to AJ. AJ’s Father is out of work I guess a $1000.00 is a lot to him. All you who say you have inside info are full of it. This was nothing more that some pimp praying and trying to be-friend AJ and telling him that all was OK. Seems like he has fooled a few other players.

A player who looses or gives up his scholarship should be pay it back in full, because we all know that atheletes are barely students.

This article is the crux as to why UGA will never win another national championship. There is far too much emphasis on 1 player as opposed to a team mentality. CMR should be 2 to 3 deep on the playchart to replace Green, but no dice.

In addition, the media is not helping the cause, because they are driven to make money and these type articles to drive readership. Someone needs to step up and forget all this political correctness crap and hammer this program. It needs to be gutted and overhauled…but then again every other coach in the SEC loves this program, because it is becoming an automatic in terms of winning.

I will spend a little time this weekend and look back over these blogs and see how many times you have called out other schools and how many times you have run your pie hole about your great dogs.

It is okay to be a “HOMER”, but it is not okay to be a “GOMER HOMER” which you are. You thinking AJ GREEN is a VICTIM. This kid has been on the take since he signed his letter of intent and his family has been too. Now Georgia has a committment from a “preacher’s kid” who is not even playing his senior year to having sexual relations with a minor, yet I am sure he is made a victim because he has committed to UGA.

The problem here isn’t just whether AJ is guilty because he was but the double standard of his punishment. He is getting different treatment from the NCAA than an Alabama player who broke the exact same rule. That means there is really only 2 potential reasons they targeted Green more heavily. One they wanted to use a big name to make a statement but then Dareus is a big name as well, or the other is the NCAA plays favorites.

You whining make stuff up wanna be’s…Dareus told investigators exactly what happened and Austin confirmed his story by telling the NCAA that he told Dareus he was paying for it, No agent had any direct contact with Dareus, Dareus got reciepts showing he repaid the money once he got wind there was agents behind the gathering and left immediately. Dareus gave detailed accounts, without one inch of dishonesty and came to the Alabama compliance office as soon as he returned from the trip(second) which is the one he found out the agents were fronting the gathering.

AJ on the other hand was not truthful, may not have lied , but he was not forthcoming and made the NCAA do their own research and did not give up any names. The NCAA also determined that AJ had varying degrees of contact with said agent and runner prior to selling of the jersey.

If you think the appeal is going to get overturned, and shortened to two weeks, keep dreaming…it ain’t going to happen.

Collegiate athletes should be paid a small hourly wage for the hours that they practice and play. Maybe 10 bucks an hour. The time they spend in practice, film sessions, etc. is time that the average student has to go get a job. Maybe, if we did something like this, the student-athletes would have such a great need for financial help, etc. Naturally, there are always gonna be the ones who are gonna mess up. However, I think that it may alleviate some of the burden.

How does the NCAA explain defining this nitwit as an agent? How does the NCAA claim it’s got jurisdiction over an American citizen selling something that belongs to him? How do AJ Green’s actions come close to attendance at the partay in South Beach? And twice the punishment?

One guy sold his own shirt to somebody that is not a sports agent except in his own mind and the arcane opinion of the NCAA. Another guy takes plane tickets and accomodations, that certainly cost a lot more than $1700 bucks from an actual sports agent. How is punishment even remotely similar, much less the guy that sold his own jersey get’s twice the suspension the guy that partied with hookers on the agent’s dime did?

And what about the party attendees? Anybody there but Dareus and a bunch of UNC players nobody ever heard of? Seriously, they thought AJ was a participant, they hung him out to dry for weeks, and when it turned out to be bull, they manufactured this latest nonsense.

Georgia helped break the NCAA TV domination, and the NCAA does not forget. If Dareus gets two games, AJ should get maybe 5 minutes in the first quarter, and he already sat out a game. Ordure that can’t be explained or justified logically. Take a look at how the NCAA defines an agent. Pardon me but that means just about every college football fan and gives these jackboots their own leave to trample on the US Constitution?

This guy is an “agent” ? Like a ref knew a D-back meant to call timeout. Pure, unadulterated bull.

A.J. knew better and he is learning a lesson. But the bigger issue, How come the NCAA can make HUNDREDS of MILLIONS off student athletes, but they can’t make some money for themselves? The NCAA feels a free education is sufficent, yet coaching salaries are steadily increasing and new campus buildings are being built because of the athletes. The system is flawed….. A.J. made a $1,000 essentially because of his performance…..what’s the big deal?!!!! He was probably gonna stimulate the economy by going out and spending it on what he deems worthy (Take a Lesson Obama and Dems). Stop PIMPING these athletes and start paying them. Collegiate sports rank up there with the pros in terms of viewership……it’s time to start recognizing that these students need to be adequately compensated.

Look, the NCAA thinks it transcends the Constitution And the NCAA is vengeful when Georgia is in the picture because Mr. Ponsoldt embarrassed them twice. . And this thug garbage about Washaun, You moron has dinged a car in a parking lot, and if you haven’t, your kid has. You probably wrote a fake note to fool bystanders.

But seriously, how stupid are those folks in Shawnee Mission? Selling a jersey that is his personal property matches taking cash from an agent to party in Miami? No, it’s twice as bad. If I sell my stereo to my next-door neighbor, am I a “crook”.?

The NCAA is not the law, no matter what over-inflated opinion they hold. Their rules are arcane and self-serving, and they wield them against schools that challenge their self-proclaimed omniscience.

Mr. Ponsoldt took money out of their pocket they had no right to in the first place:

http://www.ajc.com/sports/uga/uga-helped-end-ncaas-602120.html

They have spent time trying to get revenge. Some years back, UGA lost scholarships because an assistant coach drove an athlete to attend a family member’s funeral, because the kid couldn’t afford to get there. So, whose side are you on?

Selling your own jersey is worse than attending a party thrown in another city by an actual sports agent? Please, give me a break, and the behavior of the NCAA in all of this? Kinda like that odious piece of excrement Ken Starr. If it doesn’t convict, we keep digging until we find something entirely unrelated.

I am not going to get into this is AJ’s punishment too harsh, did he lie, did he know who he was dealing with. The fact as they stand now as listed by the NCAA:

AJ sold a jersey to a person who has represented a player or two and has agent ties.
AJ knew this was not allowed according to the NCAA rules as UGA AD has commented.

Now we all know AJ will be a top 10 pick in the next NFL draft.
AJ will be a millionaire in the very near future.(unless a Prothro injury occurs)

As for the Auburn and Mississippi St. game: Auburn still has no defense, Mississippi State can not catch. Cam Newton is pretty darn good, but he will not last getting popped 20 times a game.
Cam Newton will be in the NFL this time next year. Gus Malzhan will have a head coaching job somewhere in a major conference. Ted Roof will be let go as the AU defense does not improve. The defenses around the league catch up to the Auburn offense and slowly are able to slow it down.

Great games this weekend and we all hope the SEC does well in every contest.

michaelj..not going to argue here..but

Eligible players are not allowed to sell, market, or promote any items that are to be used as private entities. What that means is he can not sell his jersey, likeness, autograph to anyone or any group. The NCAA has stated in two previous rulings that the student athletes may not be allowed to use University Team likeness or uniforms in the act of non -university related activities unless approved by the school, conference and NCAA. The jersey, ring, or other forms of SWAG may be loaned, sold, leased unitl all eligibility is exhausted or the player is no longer a quallified student athlete.

Just to make sure you understand the guidelines and the amateur athlete guidelines. The AAU and NCAA, NJCAA, NAIA, all follow this guideline.

The NCAA oversight is from the member institutions. They have a working committee on commercialism in place *now*. They announced during the offseason that they would be cracking down on the agent problem. ncaa.org is easy to find and the rules are stated simply. Go look at them.

Mark Schlabach’s espn.com has details on what is known about the connection with Hawkins and Greene and between Hawkins and several agents. Investigative reporting is a valuable resource to coming to your own conclusions about issues like this. Wild speculation and accusations by posters is not particularly interesting to read on these blogs.

Many frequent posters to ajc blogs have their own opinions, and several of them present rational, well-conceived ideas. The people who have populated these blogs know who they are. The posters who act like juveniles throwing rocks at passing cars have other unknown agendas.

Green knew that selling the jersey was against NCAA rules, and only a complete jerk would not suspect that an agent was behind an offer for $1,000. Even a dawgtard like Green would have understood that.

His arrogance, and lying about the affair, should have gotten him dismissed, but of course, that would require some integrity from Saint Mark Richt.
