So he got pimped AND suspended.......wow.

That's funny as hell coming from a barner whose team had, in Cam Newton the 2nd highest compensated player behind Reggie Bush in the history of the sport.




No NCAA violations occurred at T-Town Menswear:


"“There would be no eligibility consequences for the student-athlete as long as they did not have any knowledge and the school issues a cease and desist notice,” says Stacey Osburn, NCAA spokesperson. “12.5.2.1 is not intended to prohibit businesses from displaying memorabilia, nor is it intended to prohibit current student-athletes from signing autographs. It is intended to prevent current student-athletes from jeopardizing their eligibility by selling their autographs or receiving remuneration for endorsing a particular product or service,” said another NCAA source who asked not to be identified."

KT owns all of you doubters on page one....... LOL!

UGA just heard the rumors of being kicked out of the SEC from their continuous conference nut swinging but no results, so they did something to prove they belonged.

Hey KT, that facebook page of your brothers that shows you shit from the future... Think he could give us all a heads up on next months lottery results?

And no, he won't be suspended for the season. According to the NCCA rules on this, he is facing a two game suspension due to the value of the money he allegedly received for this.

WOW just WOW! Gurly had the inside track for the Heisman in my opinion looks like he is definitely out for Saturday but "indefinitely" doesn't necessarily mean the season. Dak Prescott has the opportunity to make a huge statement on Saturday that he should be the front runner now everyone else has stumbled to date.

Auburn destroyed LSU just as bad as msu did.......it's ok to give your team a little credit sometimes

Didn't Johnny Manziel do the same thing and not get suspended?

I don't know if they had the goods on Manziel.

It appears Gurley was ratted out by an autograph dealer. Looks like he may have been set up.

I think he missed like the first half against Rice or something, must be more proof here.

 

[Red_Alert]

SB Nation says they were contacted by email from the dealer that turned Gurley in. He wanted them to break the story but they wouldn't because they believe players should be able to profit off their own likeness.

An autograph dealer tried to tattle on Todd Gurley. Here's the email - SBNation.com

Too bad he doesn't play for A&M, he'd miss the 1st half of the Georgia State game.

nah, Manziel was just a bigger name than Gurly

Who the hell wants Todd Gurley's autograph???

9 year olds from Dahlonega?

Sorry, but I just think having some celebrity's or sports figure's autograph is one of the dumbest things in the world. Owning one only proves one thing: that you were stupid enough to pay money for somebody else's handwriting.

I get it if you actually met the person, talked to them, enjoyed the visit, shared a cola or something else that makes for a good memory, but just buying an autographed piece of memorabilia without ever having met the person? Even if you DID see them in person, what does their autograph do for you, other than possibly bring in 20 dollars on eBay some day?

Probably. Manziel also played for the same guy that suspended some guys for the first game (La Tech) a couple years ago until that game was moved til later in the year and UF became the first game, suspensions delayed til La Tech.
