Georgia acknowledged earlier Wednesday evening that the NCAA requested that its investigators be allowed onto campus for an inquiry into an unspecified situation.
At least one subsequent report had A.J. Green being the target of the latest agent-related inquiry, one of several involving players from North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama who allegedly attended a party in Miami’s South Beach hosted by a player agent.
Speaking to SI.com‘s Andy Staples Tuesday night, before news of the NCAA’s interest in Georgia even broke, the star Bulldogs wide receiver denied being in South Florida.
“I never went to South Beach,” Green told the website.
Even given Green’s denial, SI.com reports that, per a source, Green is a potential interview subject. It’s unclear if Green would be the sole interview target for the Athens inquiry.
Attending a party that’s at the heart of this growing scandal, even one hosted by an agent, would not constitute a violation of NCAA rules. However, if any of the players had things such as airfare, hotel rooms, etc., paid for by an agent type, it would constitute a violation and the player or players could be stripped of their eligibility.
