Report: Georgia informs the NCAA of three secondary recruiting violations
The NCAA rule book is so thick, it’s common for teams to break rules — especially when it comes to recruiting. The latest Southeastern Conference program to inform the NCAA of some violations turns out to be Kirby Smart’s Georgia program.
According to Marc Weiszer of the Athens-Banner Herald, the Bulldogs have reported three secondary recruiting violations to the NCAA. All three of the violations occurred this spring and resulted in two staffers losing their jobs in Athens.
Georgia removed its director of on-campus recruiting Lukman Abdulai and recruiting relations coordinator Dacia King following these incidents. Both employees lost their positions this spring. The Athens-Banner Herald is also reporting that one of Georgia’s staff members was not allowed to recruit on campus for 30 days following these violations. That staffer has not been named.
One of the violations occurred when a Georgia staff member provided the mother of a recruit a personalized video. The mother did not attend her son’s visit to Athens, thus providing her the video was a secondary violation.
Another violation occurred when an active Georgia player gave his shoes to a prospect during an unofficial visit. That, for some reason, is also a violation. If that recruit plays for Georgia in the future, he has to pay $110 for those shoes.
Smart’s program is unlikely to face any punishment for these minor violations.

Dang Dawgs! Didn’t you learn from our battle with those NCAA pukes that you NEVER admit or go HONEST with those ba$#&rds. Hope all turns out well for ya’ll.
Go honest with the small stuff so that you ‘seem’ honest, then the NCAA won’t try and sniff out the big stuff. Not saying UGA is or is not cheating on the recruiting trail, but if they are it’s a smart move to self report small violations. Spurrier did it with us a few times. And if you’re not cheating, then hey you really are an honest program! It’s a win-win.
UGA is 100% cheating.
The reckoning will come
Everyone’s cheating
“Self reporting did not help Missouri. I guess it’s who you are and who you know that really counts.”
Does your dumba$$ comment above apply here to UGAarmyret?
There it is! Love it. Your moniker rox Bambam. 5 star Hall pass monitor and 4 star dumba$$ slinging comedian all in one. SDS got one hail of a great deal when they recruited you for their open blog monitoring position…
What I posted was what a UGA fan posted on a article about Bama reporting violations…
What you posted is incoherent garbage… Dumba$$
Very very cool. I garnered Two Bambam signature dumma$$’s on the same blogosphere. Thank you sir, can I have another?
You remind me of DD2 who used to post here… He was a waste of oxygen too..
Oh wait. That was only one signatory Dumma$$ specifically for me, the other one was for another leghumperu fan. My apologies Bambam.
Posting incorrect information is common for you.. No need to apologize, as it’s expected.
Cool. Always good to know the blog rules, you know, just in case the hall monitors show up…
No worries… I’m sure not a single SDS poster expects anything of worth from you by now. You killed that right away..
And yet here we are, you and I blogging so harmonious together. It gives me hope for a better world Bambam.
I’m just stringing you along and talking $hit about you… I’m just going to see how long you keep replying…
Dumba$$
That’s cool Bambam. I got all day, being old and retired and all. Heck sister, I got nothing else better to do. What else would you like to string me along about?
You’re what in your 60s? You have nothing better to do then troll SDS in your 60s?…. That’s sad really. I understand the couple of UGA trolls that showed up that just recently became a fan but an old retiree?
I guess there is no age limit for stupid… wow
We could talk some football if you want, ma’m. Here’s one for you, ever since Kirby divorced Nick and came over to light prior to the 2016 season I heard this season will mark the first season that any SEC team will be able to put as many or more former 5stars on the same field as Sir Nick has in many many years, impressive yes? Makes us look forward to December (if you get past LSU) doesn’t it?
Why would I want to talk football with you? We’re past that point. You started out calling me names in your very first post and haven’t managed to make a post without calling me a name in some fashion since. So at this point you’re just another dumba$& troll…
I couldn’t agree with you more. If trunksnorterU manages to fend off the new and improved bayou furballers it should make for another classic sec championship game with 5 stars flying around all over the place. But of course that’s all contingent on hiw Kirby’s new coordinators mature. Should be an exciting 2019 for sure Bambam.
You’re still just a dumba$$
I hear you Bambam. I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Saban currently is the goat because he has proven he can win without the luxury of assistant coach continuity. Dabo has not had to deal with that adversity yet but is still knocking on goat’s door.
This is great Bambam, you and I talking football. Can I have another please?
Until you can figure out how to make a post without calling names you’re just a dumba$$….
Notice how nobody replies to you unless they’re calling you on your stupidity?
I hear you Bambam and I could not agree more, Najee is a fantastic running back.
You’re still a dumba$$
Absolutely. I hear you Bambam. For my leghumpers this could be the break thru year if our highly talented receivers step up and our new OC doesn’t become predictable late in the game. Not dissing on Chaney for he was exactly what Kirby needed to build a solid offense but at times he was unable to adjust very well.
Dumba$$
I wonder what the third violation was. The two listed don’t seem heavy enough to warrant a firing, but maybe these things are so fragile… who knows.
Yeah but what about when someone in your recruiting office does something slow and deliberate (like sending that video) when their job is literally to know not to do that… Seems like an accountant getting fired for accounting errors.
agree Colorado gator. if the director of recruiting, on campus or not, doesn’t know the rules then why have him on staff. Something tells me these two were already on the hot seat for something though. These ticky tack rules seem like a giant waste of everyones time. I guess they have to bridge a very large coverage area to try to thwart all the loophole finders out there. But it sure sounds ridiculous sometimes.
Third violation was at the G-day game when a staffer showed a recruit to his seat and sat with him for 5 minutes. That, apparently, is a violation.
Time for usher robots
I believe they were having an inappropriate relationship.
Ncaa probably does nothing… èven though the same thing cost Robert Quinn his college career
I’m assuming you’re referring to NC Quinn. Not sure how two diamond watches, earrings and a trip to Miami and being dishonest about it not once, but 3 times are the same but I do recognize the only consistency the ncaa rules committee has is total inconsistency.
Ok I grew up with Robert my older brother played fb with him and Carlos Dunlap and my step mom babysat his sister and I can tell you that’s not how that really happened non the less the Ncaa is inconsistent and plays major favorites
Glass houses…
Go to NCAA.org
They have 5 positions open.
Apply and fixed the problems.
ONLY you can fix EVERYTHING!
I applied but I failed the qualifying test. I said that I heard that someone heard that someone called Luke Ford racial names and that I would wave his sit out year and they said I was to old and had to much logic for the position.
Blood in the water..
We comin’
This is the funniest comment I’ve read all week.
