History of NCAA memorabilia suspensions
The rule against selling gear while playing in the NCAA is a relatively new one and it began at Georgia.
1 / 5
The NCAA rule against selling gear while playing in college had its beginnings at the University of Georgia. It was created after wide receiver Fred Gibson and eight Bulldog teammates were caught selling championship rings and a jersey on eBay in 2003. The nine players were not penalized, but they brought the issue to the NCAA’s attention. Now, players who sell gear can face ineligibility or temporary suspension. However, if a player makes less than $100 on a sale, he or she is only required to donate the same amount to a charity.
