The AJC report said it identified 11 players during Smart’s tenure who remained with the team after women reported violent encounters to the police, to the university, or both including rape and similar.
"According to the AJC, Jamaal Jarrett, part of the 2023 recruiting class, had a weekend to remember when he took an official visit to Athens in June 2022. A woman accused the then-16-year-old of sexually assaulting her during his visit. In addition to the sexual assault accusations, Jarrett broke curfew, got drunk with potential teammates, and ended up arrested. It didn’t stop the Bulldogs from signing him and he was never charged by police.
“Winning is their only objective,” Jarrett’s accuser said in an interview. “It’s no longer about building guys up with good character. It’s no longer about building a good work ethic. It’s just about winning.”
The AJC also outlined that Smart let eight players go to court to seek their teammate’s release after he was jailed on a rape charge. Another player remained on the roster for a full season after he was charged with recording a sex act with an unconscious woman.
Time to reinstitute the Fullmer Cup.
What is there to discuss? That is old news. Won't impact anything as long as the fans get a National Contender. Sure hasn't impacted recruiting.....
