Bill inspired by Todd Gurley's ineligibility passes in Georgia House



The bill inspired by Todd Gurley's autograph ineligibility in 2014 has passed the Georgia House of Representatives.


House Bill 3, known as the "Gurley Bill" was filed in November and would punish those who entice student-athletes to break NCAA rules and therefore lose their ineligibility. The former Georgia running back missed time in 2014 after he received compensation for his autograph.


Georgia officials found out about Gurley's autographs when the man who paid Gurley for his autograph notified media outlets and Georgia's compliance office.


Here's the official summary of the bill, which was filed by Rep. Barry Fleming (R). From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:



A BILL to be entitled an Act to amend Part 14 of Article 6 of Chapter 2 of Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to other educational programs, so as to provide sanctions for persons that enter into or solicit a transaction with a student-athlete that would result in sanctions to the student-athlete; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.



While the bill has made it through the house, the chances of it passing the Senate seem slim. According to the Journal-Constitution, there's a 33 percent chance of the bill passing the Senate.


If it's passed, offenders of the (still hypothetical) law would face jail time and a fine of $25,000.


Gurley returned after missing four games because of the autograph fiasco and tore the ACL in his left knee in his first game back. He declared for the NFL draft after the season and is likely to be an early round pick.
