Georgia Coach Mark Richt said he does not expect tailback Todd Gurley to play Saturday for the 10th-ranked Bulldogs against Arkansas.

Gurley’s alleged rules violations were discussed Thursday in a meeting between top school officials and NCAA eligibility staff in Indianapolis. Georgia President Jere Morehead said in a statement after the meeting, “There is no new news at this time and no further comment is necessary.”

Richt said early Thursday on his Twitter feed he expects Gurley’s indefinite suspension to continue. The school has not released details of the investigation. Richt has said it involves autographs and memorabilia.

But when that formal hearing will take place remains unclear. An attorney for Winston’s accuser is arguing that the quarterback’s lawyer is intentionally delaying the hearing.

Etc.
