The frenzy of football recruiting in the run-up to signing day combined with the winter storm in Atlanta to cause the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Michael Carvell to muse about what the NCAA might have done in a couple hypothetical situations: If Richt had stayed overnight, would it have been an NCAA violation?
