Didn't say the players weren't "at fault" - just seems kinda dumb and hypocritical to punish them for selling their own rings when the players themselves are being sold by the school.
Also, Richt didn't enforce this rule and mete out punishment, the NCAA did, Richt has no choice but to abide.
Lastly, I live in GA too but not a Dawg-worshipper (shoulda known better than to tangle with one though) :)
Nothing personal, my good man, I just don't stomach well the whole system of big-time college sports. That said, I have my weaknesses too - I really enjoy watching ACC basketball, especially if Duke loses.

Didn't mean to come across to strong, nothing personal here either.
I too believe that rules should be changed, the players given a stipend, health insurance, life insurance, etc. But that is not the case right now. Until it is the players will have to deal with the rules and the facts as they are.
