Unfortunately for the Georgia Bulldogs and the world of college football, star running back Todd Gurley has been suspended indefinitely. Gurley has been accused of accepting money in exchange for autographs.

Georgia Athletic Direcot Greg McGarity issued a statement and informed the masses they would be paying for Gurley’s legal counsel.

"While that is unfortunate and while we can’t control the pundits, I want to assure the Bulldog Nation that from the time this matter arose and continuing through today, University of Georgia personnel have worked tirelessly, making every effort and taking all appropriate steps to support our student-athletes and our coaches and to act in the best interests of the University of Georgia.While the University does not tolerate any violation of NCAA rules, the University has supported and continues to support its student-athletes. As just one example, when this matter arose, the University offered separate legal counsel to Todd; the University recommended — and Todd retained — counsel with vast experience with eligibility matters; and the University continues to pay for Todd’s counsel, as permitted by NCAA rules."

This was a no-brainer for the Bulldogs. They can’t have potential future players seeing them not take care of a player, especially one of Todd Gurley’s stature.
