See the link below. From the article:

”Last week, freshman outside linebacker Samuel M'Pemba was ticketed for driving 88 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone, according to records from the Oconee County Sheriff's Office. His speeding citation occurred about an hour before Bulldogs receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint made an appearance in court in Athens and pleaded guilty to driving 90 mph in a 45 mph zone.

M'Pemba's citation was at least the 11th traffic-related moving violation involving Georgia football players and their cars since Jan. 15, when offensive lineman Devin Willock and football staff member Chandler LeCroy were killed in a wreck in which police allege LeCroy's SUV was racing a car being driving by former Bulldogs defensive tackle Jalen Carter. Police said LeCroy's SUV was traveling more than 100 mph when it left the road and slammed into power poles and trees.”

it's probably a misunderstanding.
(a wise man has said this a time or two)

Is it safe to conclude that with the new pay for play rules, more (immature) players are getting more cars (possibly higher horsepower) from more dealerships leading to more speeding tickets. Maybe that's in the article...I didn't read it.

88 in a 55 though. Who hasn't done that?

Ok.....so 100 kids on the roster with 11 traffic violations.
If you sampled 100 random 18-21 year old UGA non athletes, how many traffic violations would you have in the last 6 1/2 months?

And no, I'm not condoning some of the more serious incidents listed.... but how does it compare to the general public?

Athens is in Northern Georgia, just imagine how fast he could have been going if he were in Southern Georgia, in perhaps Valdosta.

Recently I almost got run off of the road doing just that. Post covid, it's not the same.

Based on the actions of the general public today....that is setting the acceptance bar pretty low.

UGA dismisses OL after police chase tied to mom

Georgia has dismissed backup offensive lineman Nyier Daniels a day after his arrest after allegedly driving more than 150 mph while attempting to flee police. Daniels initially sped past police while his mom was pulled over, the police report said.

Saw this yesterday. 150 MPH with two younger siblings on board. I am almost certain that PSU offered him a couple years ago. What a disaster waiting to happen. His mother doesn't sound like a very good influence either.

Well our team has it's own speeding issues. Maybe not 150 mph with siblings on board but still crazy speeds regardless. No matter, I don't think you'll ever hear about it.

Athens isn't too far from Road Atlanta

Rent it out for a day and let these guys speed under controlled circumstances

As I understand it, the players do indeed go to RoadAtlanta, as they are being stopped and ticketed during their commutes to and from Road Atlanta. Apparently “What happens in Road Atlanta stays in Road Atlanta” is not a thing. ;)
