Georgia RB Dante Dowdell hospitalized after ATV accident​

Georgia running back Dante Dowdell was involved in an ATV accident and is being treated for serious injuries at a hospital in Atlanta, Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.

Dowdell, who transferred to Georgia from Kentucky this offseason, was injured near his home in Picayune, Mississippi. Details of the accident aren't known.

"He's injured," Smart said at SEC Media Days. "We don't know when his return will be. I don't know the specifics of it, to be honest with you. It was a recreational vehicle, and he had some serious injuries."

Smart told ESPN that Dowdell is being treated at Shepherd Center in Atlanta, which specializes in treatment and rehabilitation, including spinal cord and brain injuries.

"He's out of the really tough range, but as far as his complete health and coming all the way back, I don't know what that looks like in terms of this year," Smart said.

Cant say that I’m surprised by this. Coochie is going to be the big winner in the NIL game when it’s all said and done. Social media is filled with young women waiting

Stein could be a good hire. If kentucky has some money to get the players he needs for his system, they certainly could improve.

Just sayin'; Yeah,

1) he could be Curt Cignetti 2.0; however, I seriously doubt it.

He just a former Louisville QB with some decent assistant coaching experience.

2) Power 4 college football teams need at least $25M - $30M to be highly competitive these days. Maybe even more in the really highly competitive SEC. Somehow I doubt that Kentucky (an acknowledged "basketball school") will allocate that much NIL money to their football program. Kentucky finished in 11th place in the SEC last season. Is it really worth it to the school to fund a lesser amount of money (i.e. $10M) to football and maybe move up 5 or 6 spots in the SEC standings when that additional money could make their basketball team a legitimate contender for a Natty again?

If they know what's good for them they will. That, and MOXIE!

Great point! If they pin their ears back and keep their heads on a swivel, that will help!

It'll get buried quick and never be seen again. It already is pretty much, you got to scroll down a bit on ESPNs home page to even see it.

The firm spent about six months conducting 350 interviews, chasing down about 90 calls to a tip line and analyzing more than 20,000 pages of documents. The bill is already approaching $12 million.

Just sayin': The Jenner & Block investigation was a total joke; the results were determined even before they stated, i.e. scUM has no "widespread problems". Needless to say, Jenner & Block does not have any subpoena power for their investigation. Nobody was forced to respond and those that did weren't under oath. I'm betting that key people like Conner Stalions, Matt Weiss, and Jim Harbaugh, etc. were never even contacted; and if they were, none of them returned their calls. The law firm got a very nice $12M payday and scUM got exactly what they wanted:

1) they can say it was thoroughly/honestly/fairly investigated (even though it wasn't) and
2) there were no widespread problems were found ........

That might be true now. But at the start after the cheating scandal first hit, I think you could argue there was a collective effort by the sports media to avoid talking about it at almost all costs. They few moments they did discuss it, it was mostly just laughed off as "not a big deal"
