The NCAA ruled last week Green must sit out four games to regain his eligibility after selling a game jersey for $1,000. Green, the team's top receiver, sold his jersey from last season's Independence Bowl.

Green already has been held out of two games, including Saturday's 17-6 loss at South Carolina. Georgia (1-1 overall, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) dropped out of the Top 25 on Sunday. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
