Georgia Football Violations

The Georgia football program was penalized three times for three different NCAA violations — including one that brought a $10,000 fine — over the final four months of 2019, according to a summary provided by UGA in response to an open records request.

All three of the violations were classified as Level III, which is considered minor. However, one of the infractions was the result of three separate incidents and resulted in 11 corrective actions, including a $10,000 fine and the "reorganization of the football recruiting staff." 

Dacia King was fired as recruiting relations director in April and on-campus recruiting director Lukman Abdulai resigned in June following a suspension.

The actions were the result of football prospects receiving free or discounted merchandise from UGA bookstores on three different occasions between March 2017 and January 2019, according to the summary. UGA does not identify the prospects involved.

That is considered a recruiting inducement, which is a violation of NCAA Bylaw 13.2.1.
