Well, he still cost himself the heisman, so there is that.

... plus whatever he could have gotten for it on eBay.
still nothing on this on twitter
However, you can download the NCAA bylaws, which I did, and bylaw 12.1.2.1.6 says nothing of the sort. In fact I searched the document and nothing like that is in the bylaws. So what the hell is their source on that? If someone told the journalists those were the possible punishments, they should say "According to our source X..." instead of "According to NCAA Bylaw 12.1.2.1.6". Wretched journalism.NCAA Bylaw 12.1.2.1.6 sets specific guidelines for such penalties:
1. Value of the benefit ranges from greater than $100 to $400 = withholding of 10 percent (of games) and repayment;
2. Value of the benefit ranges from greater than $400 to $700 = withholding of 20 percent (of games) and repayment;
3. Value of benefit ranges greater than $700 = withholding of 30 percent (of games) and repayment.
This was easy to see coming. Just self report and comply with the NCAA and you get off easy.
It's bylaw 16.11.2.1By the way, AJC's article that everyone cited about Gurley's possible punishments has a critical factual error. It says:

Withholding of 10% etc is the punishment.You should work for the AJC.
Still don't see anything about the possible punishments there, though.
Withholding of 10% etc is the punishment.
If uga acted on this as soon as they found out about it, then maybe that's the only punishment. Dunno...
YesDoes it say that in the bylaws?

How do you figure? They gave it to a crab leg stealing rapist last year. Who also, apparently, signed a bunch of shirts for money.
