No news isn’t exactly good news for Georgia regarding Todd Gurley‘s suspension.
According to a release from the University of Georgia, President Jere W. Morehead, J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Greg
McGarity, and other University of Georgia representatives met with the NCAA Committee of Infractions Thursday in Indianapolis.
The primary reason behind the meeting was to discuss the case of UGA head swimming and diving coach Jack Bauerle. Gurley’s status was discussed, though, and nothing was decided during the meeting.
“There is no new news at this time and no further comment is necessary,” the statement read.
Gurley was suspended Oct. 9 “during an ongoing investigation into an alleged violation of NCAA rules.” The former Heisman Trophy front runner allegedly received money for his autograph.
Georgia head coach Mark Richt didn’t anticipate a decision Thursday. If Gurley was ruled eligible, the running back would have played Saturday against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Despite playing in five games this season compared to six or seven, Gurley is still 12th in the nation with 773 rushing yards. The Bulldogs back also ranks fourth with an average of 8.22 yards per carry.
With the Bulldogs set to depart for Fayetteville, Ark. tomorrow, any hope of Gurley’s return will turn toward a target date of Nov. 1 against the Florida Gators.
