Bulldog's A.J. Green denies he's part of South Beach party scandal

A.J. Green is the target of the latest agent-related inquiry, one of several involving players from North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama who allegedly attended a party in Miami's South Beach hosted by a player agent.
Before the news of the NCAA's interest in Georgia even broke, the star Bulldogs wide receiver denied being in South Florida.
"I never went to South Beach," Green told the website.
Even given Green's denial, SI.com reports that, per a source, Green is a potential interview subject. It's unclear if Green would be the sole interview target for the Athens inquiry.
Attending a party would not constitute a violation of NCAA rules. Although, if any of the players had things paid for by an agent, such as airfare, hotel rooms, and more, this would constitute a violation and the player could be stripped of their eligibility.
