OT: Will Georgia be investigated?
In court, it is alleged assistant football coaches paid for recruiting expenses during unofficial visits.
Highly doubtful the NCAA does a damn thing to them, and probably won’t even investigate, but we buy a burger and get the book thrown at us.
Mods take down if already posted. I looked and here is a lottt of posts to scroll through.

No.
They'll lawyer up.
Like we should have.
January 11th, 2024 at 6:04 PM ^
Now...let me ask you...which is more dangerous to player safety?
Having drunk staffers drag racing at 100+ mph with similarly drunk players
or
Some fanboy geek low level staffer going to opposing stadiums and recording sideline signals on a shaky iPhone?
January 11th, 2024 at 6:34 PM ^
Definitely the iPhone footage… it’s shaken, not stirred.
January 11th, 2024 at 4:37 PM ^
it's not a hamburger so nothing will happen
January 11th, 2024 at 5:00 PM ^
I had an amazing hamburger last night. They really can be a big deal!
January 11th, 2024 at 5:08 PM ^
Thanks, now coach Harbaugh is going to be suspended for three games.
January 11th, 2024 at 6:09 PM ^
Shit, now I want one. There's a great place by me that makes truffle tots. I may have to get fatter, tonight.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:17 PM ^
Hamburgers are much more egregious than people dying. It is known.
January 11th, 2024 at 6:21 PM ^
Look
I understand too little too late
I realize there are things you say and do
You can never take back
But what would you be if you didn't even try?
You have to try
So after a lot of thought
I'd like to reconsider
Please
If it's not too late
Make it a cheeseburger
January 12th, 2024 at 12:23 AM ^
Is there cream cheese on that burger?
January 11th, 2024 at 4:38 PM ^
hahahahhaha
no
January 11th, 2024 at 4:38 PM ^
If it doesn't involve a cheeseburger, the ncaa doesn't have time.
January 11th, 2024 at 4:46 PM ^
Agreed. Two cheeseburgers always trump two deaths (or two lives) in the eyes of the NCAA.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:01 PM ^
Really a sad state, when people are literally dying in Athens, the NCAA does nothing but chooses to focus its efforts on M for burgers and sign stealing.
January 11th, 2024 at 4:40 PM ^
Only if they have a Jim Stapleton + Matt Dudek + Alex Yood + Ryan Day + Tony Petiti. Which seems unlikely.
January 11th, 2024 at 4:41 PM ^
Our athletic department should watch how Georgia tells the NCAA and everyone to go F themselves for a playbook how its done.
January 11th, 2024 at 4:49 PM ^
Fuck ESPN.
January 12th, 2024 at 12:23 AM ^
Correction: You mean the Emmy award-winning ESPN.
Wait, what?
They cheated by using fake names in their submissions for consideration?
Why ESPN would never do such a thing, would they?
January 11th, 2024 at 4:50 PM ^
I didn't even need to read what you posted. Just by the title, I will say "NO".
January 11th, 2024 at 5:13 PM ^
Haha exactly why I posted that.
January 11th, 2024 at 4:51 PM ^
The CFP should vacate their wins and hand the CFP title to An Ohio State
— 11w (probably)
January 11th, 2024 at 4:55 PM ^
If Jay Harbaugh somehow ends up on the UGA corching staff then 100% yes.
If not then 100% no.
January 11th, 2024 at 6:45 PM ^
He's proven to be one hell of a corch
January 11th, 2024 at 4:58 PM ^
This sounds about the level of seriousness of an offense the NCAA should be outraged over (not even kidding). It’s the perfect amount of pettiness to be a HUGE investigation. If you’re Michigan. Which is weird now, because Michigan IS the Georgia/Bama now. You’re going after your crown jewel. While your previous ones are still granted a “pass” on ridiculously minor infractions. Infuriating. Guess I’ll just enjoy this Championship and you can suck a fat whatever if you think you can vacate anything.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:00 PM ^
Nope. The SEC has a commissioner who, for better or worse, protects his money-makers and doesn't allow outside influences or the bottom-feeders of his conference to step out of line and "rock the boat."
Georgia will probably be allowed to "handle this internally," whatever that means, and this won't even be a story by next week.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:03 PM ^
Lol! Poor Georgia State is about to get hit.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:06 PM ^
More like poor damn Missouri
January 11th, 2024 at 5:06 PM ^
this joke is old but I still laugh
January 11th, 2024 at 5:10 PM ^
Yeah, right after OSU and Alabama. Investigation will start the 32nd of Nevuary.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:11 PM ^
And ours were for already committed players, who showed up with no notice on campus.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:18 PM ^
During Covid - when they probably could have been given meal vouchers at South Quad or another dorm. But - it was CV - lockdown - and were not allowed to enter any dorm / campus building.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:15 PM ^
It's crazy burger-gate dominated the CFB news cycle for weeks and weeks, while stuff like this barely lasts the daily news cycle and only makes the news at all because a victim is suing.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:16 PM ^
The Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) published an article which, IIRC, cited “concerns and irregularities” around Georgia football program. I believe it was released this past summer - it was a couple of days before the Powers that Be in the state of Georgia had the AJC retract the article.
As this article references - someone died as a result of this.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:23 PM ^
It's crazy how out in the open some people are about breaking rules and nothing is done and no one yells scandal. OSU starts practices during covid when they're not supposed, openly visits recruits when not allowed and tamper with players before they're in the portal, but the B1G and NCAA don't yell bloody murder.
Kansas gets caught by the FBI and it takes 4 years for a 4 game suspension. We have someone paying people to go to games and the NCAA decides they need to speed up their investigations and the B1G just straight up starts making things up to get a punishment.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:28 PM ^
Yeah, it's sort of crazy this came out and the sports world has collectively shrugged their shoulders because we all sort of figured. It's why Pete Thamel and his ilk are so obnoxious because they don't really care about fairness, only who their boss likes vs. who they know will get them ratings bashing.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:29 PM ^
The past two CFP championships are TAINTED.
NCAA should vacate those wins, UGA should get the death penalty. No investigation needed
January 11th, 2024 at 5:30 PM ^
Wow, actual player safety issues. This is what they look like.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:31 PM ^
I'll just check with the boys down at the crime lab, they've got four more detectives working on the case. They got us working in shifts!
January 11th, 2024 at 5:42 PM ^
At least they didn't take the Creedence.
January 11th, 2024 at 6:47 PM ^
I had a rough night, and I hate the fucking Eagles, man!
January 11th, 2024 at 5:35 PM ^
I think Stetson Bennett being there for 6 (or is it 7?) years without graduating should be enough to initiate an investigation. There are clauses about satisfactory academic progress in the NCAA. Georgia’s GSR (graduation success rate) is amongst the worst in the country. But we know absolutely nothing will trigger an investigation into Georgia.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:42 PM ^
A small correction, if I may.. it’s APR - Academic Progress Rate.
January 11th, 2024 at 5:38 PM ^
Is Harbaugh their coach? Is Warde their AD?
Nothing will be done
January 11th, 2024 at 5:56 PM ^
For the TL/DR people, two people DIED in a UGA vehicle driven drunk by a staffer, the staffer and a player. Did I miss the part where there was an immediate on-campus investigation followed by a late Friday suspension of the head coach?
January 11th, 2024 at 7:02 PM ^
Has Kirby Smart been very vocal in his belief that players deserve revenue sharing like Harbaugh?
No? then no there will be no investigation
January 11th, 2024 at 7:12 PM ^
Not to mention recent discovery of a lawsuit of a really (justifiably) pissed off family who got their kid killed in sanctioned drag racing with UGA staff. Sounds like they’re singing a tune. How they pay for unofficials. Get drunk and racing around town in fast cars. Oh yes. The real bad stuff. But yea let’s keep talking about cheeseburgers. I would be mad except UM is national champs (despite you NCAA fucks). Eat a **** and **** all of you idiots. A kid DIED. A staffer DIED. Recruiting violations all over the damn place. Just are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!?!
January 11th, 2024 at 7:42 PM ^
Their judges will grant Kirby the TRO
