Sounds like a team of future Dallas Cowboy players....!

"I'm always concerned about [being shorthanded]," Georgia football coach Mark Richt said, "but we've got to do what we've got to do with discipline. We've got to do what gets the players' attention. I hope it doesn't cost us a game." Good for Coach Richt. I just wish he had left out that last line. He should be more concerned with the student-athletes than his winning percentage.

One unidentified individual bought the rings from the players for various amounts, UGA compliance director Amy Chisholm said. The buyer is not a Bulldog booster, she said. Probably a drug dealer.

Well, I'm a graduate and partisan of that great state university in Knoxville, and I grinned for a moment over this, but I think Coach Richt is a class act. This is all really a shame, and you can't really blame the coach or the institution when you have the factors working in college athletics that are there.
The coach has GOT to win; he's got to get the best players, and their moral underpinnings often are the odd factor out.

I would think that a lot of these players were recruited by the previous coach, Donnan.

The players involved show a total lack of respect for what the rings signify, a Champion. What does this say about the school that recruited these kids? Do you think that coaching staff is reaching them with the message of "what being a champion means"? I don't think so.

All scored 1600 on their SAT tests. Must have received their education in Shreveport.
They could get a job at the NY Times, all they would have to do is copy.

In my opinion this is just another case that shows charecter matters. Over the last 12 months there have been numerous incidents involving the athletic program at UGA. Rapes, Drugs and now this. When my cousin was recruited to play baseball for Auburn in the 70's, they not only cared about his athletic ability, they also cared about his grades and his charecter, they checked him out very heavily. I'm sure that does not happen anymore...that's why we have a bunch of thugs playing college and professional sports. Just another thing that shows that the lefts social engineering in this country is for one end and one end alone...to break down the charecter of the youth and over time hope that the country they HATE falls over from all the dead weight.
