“We had a group of 15 draft picks … if they’d have left, they’d have missed out on a national championship, they would have missed out on getting drafted, they would have missed out on graduating."...Kirby. Pretty much says it al for the portal. Kirby, I feel, is honorable, one reason he was hired. He does not mess with the rules ...as far as I have seen. Anyway, he says the players initiate the tampering portal talk...not so much the coaches.
Mark Richt didn't mess with the rules, either.
Otherwise, AJ Green wouldn't have risked his eligibility to sell a Game Jersey to make walking around money ($1200).
Else, Todd Gurley wouldn't have risked playing time to sell his signature on memorabilia for $500.
Also, UGA had several members of the team double dip on their per diem cards. That wouldn't have happened if they were getting extra money.
Only at UGA. The honest shall be punished.
If any player on UGA's football team was going to get extra payola, it would have been Green, Stafford or Gurley...and that just didn't happen.
