“In fact he admires Gurley.”

Now he tells us.  I’m sure that will make everything okay now.

Funny how that hindsight stuff works.

    With all the UGA grads and law grads and supporters in the Ga. Gen. Assembly, I hope some legislation can be passed that will give these sorts of bottom feeders pause before they entice college athletes into their schemes.

    I propose starting with a stiff fine. On a second offense, post their name and image on YouTube with the bold title “How to hack the NSA.” Subtitle: “How I cheated the IRS out of million$.”

    That’d probably stop ’em.

      I think there already is a law. It’s likely the reason he lawyered up.

        There is a law, but it would be pointless to go after him. He has no money, so UGA has nothing to gain from it.

          UGA could still ruin the guy with a lawsuit knowing they would only be throwing good money after bad. Sounds like that was the bargaining chip behind the very deliberately-worded comments from Bryan Asshole’s attorney… that affirmation of the $400 and nothing more signals the NCAA isn’t getting anything else out of Bryan Asshole and the 2-game suspension should suffice.

    “Garland told Winne that Allen has not paid money to any other college athlete for autographs.”

    Bullshit …

    it’s awfully convenient that suddenly Allen admits to the most benign version of the known facts, and not a smidgen more. A more cynical person might be tempted to suggest he was “shaping the narrative to the known facts.” One could speculate on the reason he’d do that; the simplest explanation is it’s true. Or maybe he figured this version was the easiest way to stop his own discomfort. There are other possibilities I’d rather not say out loud.

    For all I know, or can prove, or for all I know that anyone can prove, that may be exactly what happen, but it sure doesn’t resoundingly ring of the unvarnished truth. I am a firm believer in the concept of innocent until proven guilty, and I completely understand the gap between “what one suspects” and “what one can prove.”

    That last sentence makes me a tad uncomfortable. I’m one of the people who sneered at AU fans who defended Cam. This is much less money, but the same principle (or lack of principle, if you will). I have to admit that bothers me.

      81,

      What Newton did and what Gurley did are two completely different things. Gurley broke a rule, yes, but it’s widely thought of as a stupid rule and it was for very little money. Newton was willingly sold by his father to the highest bidder; a school with a reputation for being the college football equivalent of the Illinois Governer’s office. What Gurley did was careless; what Newton did was corrupt.

      What Todd did violated the rules, and he has served a punishment for it. Has he done other stuff in violation of the rules and not been punished? Possibly. Does that make him different from anyone else, including ordinary folks who violate laws and don’t get caught for it? Don’t think so.
