Late yesterday, the University of Georgia announced that they were suspending their star running back Todd Gurley due to an ongoing investigation into alleged NCAA violations. Then, a short time later, it was reported that Gurley was being investigated for allegedly accepting money in exchange for him autographing memorabilia. And now, TMZ Sports is reporting that someone out there is actually shopping video evidence of Gurley signing things for money, which would obviously be a huge blow to both him and Georgia.
According to TMZ Sports, the video footage—which they have not seen—shows Gurley sitting inside of a vehicle and signing items like helmets and jerseys. The person who is trying to sell the video tells TMZ Sports that Gurley was paid about $2,000 for two autograph sessions and that there are also a bunch of photos of him signing stuff. Both the NCAA and Georgia have apparently reached out to that person to try and get their hands on the video footage and photos. But as of right now, it's unclear as to whether or not they were successful in their attempts to obtain it.
Stay tuned for further news regarding Gurley's investigation. As of right now, things do not look good for him. And if video evidence of him singing memorabilia in exchange for money does in fact exist, his college career is likely going to be over.
UPDATE:
SB Nation says that someone reached out to them claiming to have video of Gurley signing autographs in exchange for money as well. They released a screenshot of the email that was sent to them:
