He and the Hogs have new unis, but it's the same 'ole DJ

The senior tight end and Mackey Award (for best in the nation at his position) candidate  from The Rock has his speed back. He still has his power, too….just ask the Tennessee Tech dbs that he trucked last weekend.

Meaning he will not be on the field when the Bulldogs and Razorbacks clash in 10 days (unless UGA successfully appeals). Here is the official NCAA release.

University of Georgia football student-athlete A.J. Green must miss four
games as a condition of becoming eligible to play again, according to a
decision today by the NCAA student-athlete reinstatement staff.

The university declared the student-athlete ineligible for violations of
NCAA agent benefits rules. According to the facts of the case submitted by
Georgia, the student-athlete sold his Independence Bowl game jersey to an
individual who meets the NCAA definition of an agent. Green has repaid the
$1,000 value of benefits to charity. According to NCAA rules, an agent is
any individual who markets or promotes a student-athlete.

During the reinstatement process, the NCAA staff reviews each case on its
own merits based on the specific facts. Staff decisions are made based on a
number of factors including guidelines established by the Committee on
Student-Athlete Reinstatement, the student-athlete¹s responsibility for the
violation, as well as any mitigating factors presented by the university.

The university can appeal the decision to the Division I NCAA Committee on
Student-Athlete Reinstatement, an independent committee comprised of
representatives from NCAA member colleges, universities and athletic
conferences. This committee can reduce or remove the condition, but it
cannot increase the staff-imposed conditions. If appealed, the
student-athlete remains ineligible until the conclusion of the appeals
process.
