Just wondering where the "Green may have lied to NCAA Investigators" line comes from. Is there someone that is reporting this or is it just hearsay?

Does that not look suspcious though? A client walks into his office and notices it. Do you not think that will draw some questions? That would make it too obvious if he put it in his office.
Could be bro, and I don't disagree with you about the NCAA. Just providing another perspective as one who has dealt with compliance issues and the NCAA rulebook.
I don't agree. As IHateUT said, what if he sold his car to an agent? Is that an illegal benefit?
That would be different. He bought it with his money. The jersey is probably considered property of the AD.
I'm reading the comments. They are comparing the AJ Green situation with Marcell. The two don't compare. Ask the Bryant kid that got drafted by the Cowboys does it pay to lie to the NCAA.
What if a player sold an old High School Jersey or ball?? How does the NCAA have any say over this?? He may or may not have autographed the ball or jersey?? Would this make a difference??
How can the NCAA tell a player you can't sell anything you own, because we OWN you for the next 4 year??

Does anyone have a link that says that he lied to the NCAA? Everyone is saying this but I have not read that in any of the articles.....

I guess it all depends on if it was still considered school property. If it belonged to AJ I understand your point.
Then UGA would have a problem with it. The NCAA doesn't own his jersey. If AJ Green signs a football and sells it on eBay, that would be illegal according to the NCAA, why?
I do not believe that would be illegal because he is not making money off his name or status as a player. Unless the agent pays way over market value. That would be an illegal benefit.
Depends on when he got the high school jersey he sold. If he got it before his sophomore year in high school then it is not a vioation. See doesn't that make sense.
There is likely a rule against using your celebrity status gained from being an athlete. Just guess I have no way of knowing for sure.
I tried to look into the ownership of jerseys and found this article. The article claims that players are allowed to keep their bowl game jerseys and says that a player gave his jersey to a local restaurant to hang up but they had to take it down because it was impermissible.... sounds a little harsh to me on these jersey rules.

I don't think that would hold up in a court of law. How could anyone prove he was making money based off his status as a player? Compare the price of a jersey sold by him vs. a jersey sold by an independent memorabilia dealer?
I'm no Georgia fan, but I'll side with AJ on this one, at least until we find out more about the situation. I've never liked the NCAA, and this doesn't help my feelings towards them.
This is the NCAA.. it does not have to hold up in a court.. but they can still take your eligibility away.. Nice gig huh???
The thing is the NCAA makes up its own stupid rules and they apply them however they see fit. The courts have nothing to do with it.
He sold his jersey for $1000. It was probably worth $100 new. How is it hard to prove he was making money because of his status as a player?
I was talking about the car.
The sale of student-athlete autographs and memorabilia by a player or their family is a violation of NCAA rules.
