Georgia Football Reports Rules Violations to NCAA and They're Incredibly Stupid

Since the start of the year, the Georgia Bulldogs have reported seven rules violations to the NCAA. Now, the football team is the latest to have infractions revealed.

And yes, these are as stupid as they sound.

The first of the two occurred when a staff member had contact with a junior recruit in the lobby of the prospect's high school. The staff member was temporarily suspended from recruiting. The second was perpetrated by one of Georgia's current players. The athlete gave a recruit he was hosting a sweatshirt. The high school student was ordered to match the price of the hoodie in funds donated to charity. The player who gave the rule-violating gift had to undergo unspecified NCAA compliance rule training.

The football team is the latest of several self-reports by Georgia. Several spring sports also reported violations that the NCAA doesn't consider particularly heinous.

Despite falling behind for 2021, Georgia's recruiting has been lauded in recent years, and in 2020, they're ranked as the top class in the country by 247Sports.com.

At this time, the infractions have been dealt with, but recruiting is on hold. The same goes for all colleges, as the NCAA has banned any in-person recruitment for the time being due to coronavirus.
