Here's Todd Gurley wearing a 'Free Gurley' shirt

Updated Mar. 4, 2020 6:03 p.m. ET

Georgia Bulldogs sophomore running back Todd Gurley remains suspended indefinitely for allegedly violating NCAA rules about accepting extra benefits for autographs or the use of his likeness from memorabilia brokers.

Meanwhile, Gurley himself is now wearing a shirt that clamors for his athletic freedom.

Elsewhere at the University of Georgia, a student named Peyton Bennett is selling "FreeGurley" shirts for $15 apiece.

“We sold about 100 in three days with really no marketing plan besides walking on campus wearing them,” Bennett told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

In an addition to collecting a substantial amount of beer money, Bennett says he's "pointing out a huge flaw in the system that the NCAA has.”

“As a Georgia fan, I hope [the suspension] is lifted as soon as possible,” Bennett said. “As a T-shirt salesman, I’m kind of hoping it’ll stay unannounced a bit longer.”

So, yeah. In accordance with NCAA rules, pretty much everyone who isn't Todd Gurley can profit from the sale of Todd Gurley shirts.
