Georgia: NCAA Restores Scholarships Following Appeal



Bulldog Scholarships Restored: Georgia received a break from the NCAA when three scholarships stripped following the Jim Harrick scandal were restored. The Division I Infractions Appeals Committee ruled in favor of the school after its appeal of the penalties. Ranked in the Top 25, the school placed itself on four year’s probation and pulled itself from the SEC and NCAA tournaments in February of 2003 when allegations of academic fraud were first levied by former player Tony Cole. Last season, Georgia had its worst season in thirty years with an 8-20 record and only seven scholarship players. [6/03/05]
