2014 SEC Discussion and Division Races

http://dogbytesonline.com/ncaa-president-calls-uga-handling-of-gurley-case-commendable-88283/

Mark Emmert is commending UGA on how it's handle the Gurley situation.

“From the facts that we know today, publicly, Georgia’s behavior has been commendable,” Emmert said in an interview with the Associated Press Monday. “They, apparently, saw something that concerned them, and they dealt with it directly and their athletic department seems to have handled that very, very appropriately based on what we know today.”


Yeah well that's very nice of you to say - but hows about letting my boy Gurley on the field on Saturday!

Gurley's gone for two more after the NCAA found he accepted over $3,000 for autographed memorabilia.

Seems to me he got off pretty lightly--only 4 games for over $3,000? Wasn't Posey suspended for an additional 5 games in '10 for being overpaid approx. $700?

I'm disappointed - but at least the NCAA is being consistent.
4 Games is what AJ Green got for signing and selling his bowl game jersey.

Consistent in its application of the rules to Georgia players, perhaps.
As most of you know, I'm normally the anti-homer, but I have to agree here. I don't necessarily have a problem with the lighter sentences, but TP and Posey were really hung out to dry.

I really think TP got the shaft. Posey, seems maybe his got more severe because of a second violation after the first? Am I remembering that correctly? Anyway, seems like the punishment is far less severe now and TP could really have used the extra year here...
