Seriously? Why do you think it is not, is the better question?


Well, typically the people making an atypical claim are the ones that must back the claim up, but fine, I'll bite.

She works in their admin department and has for a long time. Therefore, I suspect that she has a good working relationship with everyone there. Since her son is going to be a prime "target" (not in a nefarious way) for trying to get a Georgia victory, there is going to be a lot of talk about him around the department this week. Since it may, understandably, be difficult for her to deal with that from a personal perspective, the best thing to do is remove her from it.

It happens all the time in my industry when there is the potential for a conflict of interest or the appearance thereof. It's just a business move, neither classy nor non-classy.

Maybe, but it is personal too. He is her son first, "business" comes second. This is not a normal circumstance because of HOW he left the program. How he left the program is very important here. Richt did not HAVE to let her be off for the entire week. She would do her job just fine, if she were there. Distracted? Of course! I bet she had no intentions of taking off either. It's what is best for all parties, in every capacity.

She can actually enjoy a game week as a Mom, not an employee of the UGA football office. That's where the class comes in.
