Georgia's Richt under scrutiny

Georgia football coach Mark Richt paid some of his staffers out of his own pocket, and unknowlingly violated NCAA rules, according to a report in The Atlanta-Journal Constitution.

The payments broke NCAA rules on supplemental pay, but discipline was limited to letters of admonishment from the school to Richt and those he paid, the paper said.

Athletic director Greg McGarity declined to discuss details with the paper, but confirmed that the violations were deemed secondary and that the NCAA considers the matter closed.
