COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Georgia and South Carolina will try and shake off this week's NCAA distractions as they open Southeastern Conference play.
The 22nd-ranked Bulldogs (1-0) and 24th-ranked Gamecocks (1-0) face each other Saturday after a week of star suspensions, formal letters of inquiry and unending questions regarding NCAA infractions.
Bulldogs star receiver A.J. Green was docked three additional games by the NCAA on Wednesday for selling a game jersey for $1,000 to someone the ruling body deemed an agent.
A day later, South Carolina's football program received a formal letter of inquiry that it was under NCAA investigation.
That sounds like plenty to process for coaches and players preparing for a critical SEC contest.
