You sir, may GTFO of this thread.


ATHENS, Ga. -- The NCAA Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement upheld Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green's four-game suspension on Friday.During a conference call on Friday morning, Georgia officials appealed Green's ban. The suspension came after the Bulldogs star admitted selling his 2009 Independence Bowl jersey for $1,000 to former North Carolina defensive back Chris Hawkins, who the NCAA described as an agent or someone who markets amateur athletes.

Hawkins has denied he is an agent.

University of Georgia president Michael Adams told the Journal-Constitution on Saturday the school did everything it could to get Green's suspension reduced, but Adams did not quibble with the NCAA.


“
Our concentration is the same as the last two weeks, which is preparing for the next game. We'll look forward to A.J.'s return for the Colorado game.

”
-- Georgia head coach Mark Richt on NCAA's decision

"It's certainly not too light," Adams told the newspaper of Green's suspension, "and yet I'm not in a position to criticize the NCAA. They are trying to send a message about contact with agents and agent runners and representatives."

Green missed the Bulldogs' first three games of the season and next week's game at Mississippi State. He already agreed to repay the $1,000 to charity.

"Our concentration is the same as the last two weeks, which is preparing for the next game," coach Mark Richt said in a statement. "We'll look forward to A.J.'s return for the Colorado game."

Last season the 6-foot-4 Green led the Bulldogs with 53 catches for 808 yards despite missing all or part of five games with injuries. He's already projected as a possible top-five pick in next year's NFL draft if he gives up his senior season.

The Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, which is comprised of representatives from NCAA member colleges, universities and athletic conferences, ruled on Green's case. It had the power to overturn or lessen the penalty, but chose not to alter the original decision.

"We respect the committee's decision and will focus on moving forward," Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity said.

Adams, in an interview before Saturday's 31-24 loss to Arkansas, said the university got "the best counsel and advice you can get to make an appeal. ... I think the university did everything to help [Green] that the university could have done."

The NCAA did not comment on the ruling.

Green has been practicing with the Bulldogs, but Richt said the team approached this week's game as though their top offensive threat would not be on the field. By the end of the week, other receivers were getting the bulk of the work with the first team and quarterback Aaron Murray.

"It's not as big an issue this week," Richt said after Wednesday's practice. "The other two games, we were really hopeful but weren't really sure until late in the week both weeks. This week, we start on the premise that he can't play."

Green's teammates were hoping for a favorable ruling, believing his return would have provided a huge emotional lift before Saturday's game.

Plus, he's a big part of the offense and would undoubtedly make life easier for Georgia's young quarterback. Murray is a redshirt freshman made just his third career start.

"Anytime you have A.J. on the field, you're going to be a better team. I don't care who it is -- an NFL team, whatever," tight end Aron White said. "He's a tremendous player with an amazing amount of ability."

That said, the Bulldogs insisted they were prepared to carry on without Green.

"We have to attack the game plan like he's not going to be there," White said before the appeal was denied. "We're still the Bulldogs, with or without A.J."

Green's suspension stemmed from an investigation into several cases of athletes allegedly having improper contact with agents.

Alabama end Marcell Dareus, the defensive MVP of last season's national title game, received a two-game suspension for receiving preferential treatment and agent benefits, including airfare, lodging, meals and transportation during a pair of Miami trips.

North Carolina played its first game against LSU without 13 players -- most of them key starters -- after a probe into improper dealings with agents expanded to possible academic misconduct. As of Friday, only tailback Shaun Draughn had been cleared to play Saturday's home opener against Georgia Tech.

South Carolina also has received a letter of inquiry from the NCAA. The Gamecocks played their opener without cornerback Chris Culliver and offensive lineman Jarriel King, but both were cleared to return for last week's win over Georgia.

"Several cases of athletes allegedly having improper contact with agents"

AJ sold his own property, so that he could afford to go on Spring Break. I'm looking for the universities that have been investigated in the last decade. Not individual players being asked if they sold something that belonged to them. Please learn how to read OP's before you make an ass out of yourself.

You know... Something like this, for example:

The Florida State football team will vacate an undetermined number of wins, serve four years' probation, and face a reduction in scholarships and other penalties due to what the NCAA described Friday as "major violations" from an academic cheating scandal.

Nine other programs were also penalized -- baseball, men's track and field, women's track and field, men's swimming, women's swimming, men's basketball, women's basketball, softball and men's golf -- and face the same sanctions. Overall, the scandal involved 61 athletes.

Maisel: Bowden suffers

The race between Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden for most victories in major college football came to an abrupt halt Friday. Bowden, a game behind Paterno when the 2008 season ended, has pulled up lame due to a case of academic fraud, writes Ivan Maisel. Story

• Dinich blog

Football coach Bobby Bowden would have entered the coming season with 382 career victories, trailing Penn State coach Joe Paterno by one win on the all-time list. The sanctions will force him to forfeit all wins during which ineligible students competed in 2006 and 2007.
It is not immediately clear how many wins Florida State will have to vacate. Dennis Thomas, the vice chair of the NCAA Committee on Infractions and acting chair for the FSU case, said only one ineligible player would have had to participate in a game for the entire team record to be vacated. Still, Thomas said the NCAA had no evidence the university knowingly played ineligible athletes.

Florida State is considering appealing the sanction that would force the Seminoles to vacate wins.

"We believe that the NCAA confirmed that our investigative efforts and our self-imposed penalties were appropriate," Florida State president T.K. Wetherell said in a statement Friday. "We already began implementing our self-imposed penalties. And we will begin implementing all but one of the NCAA's additional sanctions.

"We just don't understand the sanction to vacate all wins in athletics contests in which ineligible student-athletes competed because we did not allow anyone who we knew was ineligible to compete. Our position throughout the inquiry was that as soon as we knew of a problem, they didn't play."

In November 2007, Florida State and the NCAA agreed that athletes who had received "improper help" would be suspended for 30 percent of their seasons. According to the Orlando Sentinel, officials interviewed 75 individuals, and 39 admitted receiving improper assistance in an online music course. Roughly two dozen football players were suspended for the Music City Bowl, which FSU lost 35-28 to Kentucky. The Seminoles also suspended about 10 players for the first three games of the 2008 season.

FSU officials and players were under the impression those athletes had already served their punishment, but Thomas said on Friday that the instant a player cheated in class -- regardless of whether school officials knew about it -- he became ineligible, and if that athlete played in a game, it must be vacated. That could cost FSU games from 2006, when the academic fraud began.

"They are ineligible at the time of that violation until they are reinstated," Thomas said. "If they participated while ineligible, obviously the games they participated in will have to be vacated. The trigger is if those 61 individuals obviously as identified by the institution committed academic fraud. At that point, they rendered themselves ineligible."

The football team will be limited to 83 total scholarships in 2008-09; 82 in 2009-10; and 84 in 2010-11; the maximum usually allowed by the NCAA is 85. Florida State self-imposed the loss of the two scholarships for 2008-09, and will self-impose the loss of three scholarships for 2009-10. The NCAA added an additional loss of scholarship from the maximum in 2010-11.

The committee stated this case was "extremely serious" because of the large number of student-athletes involved and the fact that academic fraud is considered by the committee to be among the most egregious of NCAA rules violations.

Florida State's probation extends through March 5, 2013.

"I must say that Florida State did a great job in cooperating with the enforcement staff in accumulating all of the information that was required," Thomas said. "Yes, Florida State did self-report. They did an outstanding job. We have to give Florida State University credit for that."

The NCAA determined that a former learning specialist, academic adviser and tutor gave "improper assistance" to Florida State athletes who were taking online courses. According to the NCAA, the former learning specialist typed portions of papers for at least three athletes and also provided answers to an online psychology course quiz by instructing another athlete to complete the quiz on behalf of the athlete enrolled in the course.

Georgia Bulldogs held receiver A.J. Green out of Saturday's 55-7 season-opening victory against Louisiana-Lafayette amid an NCAA investigation over alleged improper contact between agents and players on several teams.

Receiver A.J. Green will miss Saturday's game more than a month after Georgia was notified by the NCAA of a pending review over one of its players.Green "will miss Saturday's game ... pursuant to UGA Athletic Association policy and pending a ruling from the NCAA clarifying his status," the Bulldogs said in a statement issued Saturday morning.

The No. 23 Bulldogs had been notified by the NCAA in late July that it had begun a review over whether one of their players had violated NCAA rules amid allegations that players from several schools attended an agent-hosted party in Miami. There have been reports that Green, a junior rated as one of the nation's top receivers, is the target.

Green says he's never been to Miami.

North Carolina declared 13 of its players ineligible Friday for the 18th-ranked Tar Heels' opener against No. 21 LSU for "violating school and/or NCAA rules."

And South Carolina senior tight end Weslye Saunders was suspened for the Gamecocks' opening 41-13 win Thursday night over Southern Miss.


Among the Tar Heels to be held out were several starters -- defensive tackle Marvin Austin, cornerback Charles Brown, cornerback Kendric Burney, receiver Greg Little, defensive end Michael McAdoo and defensive end Robert Quinn.

Green was among four Georgia players held out of Saturday's game in Athens, Ga.

Running back Washaun Ealey, receiver Tavarres King and safety Alec Ogletree were suspended after recent arrests.

UGA receiver Green says he has never been to Miami
Posted: Jul 22, 2010 7:00 PM EDT
HOOVER, Ala. (AP) - Georgia receiver A.J. Green says he has "never" been to Miami and isn't focused on the NCAA investigation of the Bulldogs.

Green told reporters before his scheduled appearance at the Southeastern Conference media days Wednesday that he is "just focused on getting ready for the season."

Georgia coach Mark Richt says "we'll see what they gather" when asked about the probe. Georgia officials have confirmed the NCAA has requested permission to conduct an investigation on campus.

Investigations are under way at Alabama, South Carolina and Florida regarding possible improper contact by several athletes with an agent.
