First, if all you did was sell one of their shirts to an agent, how does Green get four games when the Alabama defensive end Marcell Dareus two games left to fly to Miami with money from an agent? Maybe there's more than meets the eye. For example, he was completely forthcoming with NCAA Verde? Also, keep in mind that the NCAA said in its opinion on the initial suspension Dareus was four games, but cut it back to two games due to extenuating circumstances. In short, a four-game suspension for the sale of a T-shirt seems a bit strong.Second, as we saw in the case of Jeremiah Masoli at Ole Miss, there is always opportunity for the school wins his appeal. He went from not playing at all this season to play in the first game. Whatever happens with the appeal of Georgia, which is quite well placed in which Green will not be on the field this Saturday in South Carolina.
Finally, it is just me, or is there something inherently wrong with the system when a player is punished so severely by the sale of one of their shirts and the school is playing for is raking in money left and right with sale of replicas of the shirt? Green benefits from the sales of zero, and now, Georgia has six different versions of the green jersey is available on their official website for the good of the team. Having been on the campus of Georgia a couple of different times last year, I can confidently say that the Green Shirts are more easily sold in the school. Yes, athletes are told time and again that they can not benefit from the sale of any memorabilia, and Green defraud his partners with the decision to do so. However, something is not right about the whole shebang. It is similar to the coaches to come and go as they please, jumping from this work to another, but the athletes at the mercy of the schools if they want to transfer it elsewhere and not have to pay his way to sit on the year. You are losing a year of eligibility.
