MEN’S BASKETBALL
The bill has come in for former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon’s successful court challenge of the NCAA – and it’s a whopper.
Lawyers for O’Bannon want more than $50 million from the NCAA in attorney fees and other costs as part of the price of winning an antitrust lawsuit that took five years to make its way to trial.
FOOTBALL
FLORIDA: With his job on the line, Coach Will Muschamp has turned to freshman quarterback Treon Harris.
Muschamp said Harris will start next week against Georgia in Jacksonville, adding that it will be Harris’ game from start to finish.
The move means the Gators (3-3, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) have benched fourth-year junior Jeff Driskel, who has 12 turnovers the last four games.
GEORGIA: Coach Mark Richt said he was optimistic as Georgia was expected to file a request with the NCAA for tailback Todd Gurley’s eligibility to be reinstated.
Gurley, the Southeastern Conference’s leading rusher, has been suspended for the last two games while Georgia investigated allegations he broke NCAA rules by receiving improper benefits.
Richt has confirmed the allegations involved autographs. In the statement released by Georgia, Gurley acknowledged making mistakes.
