According to FanDuel, the Georgia Bulldogs have +150 odds to win the SEC Championship next month.

ESPN reported that the affidavit stated that the women requested the charges be dismissed on October 14 by the Athens-Clarke County Solicitor General's Office. 

Kirby Smart told reporters in October that Young had been suspended from the program. 

"He's been suspended indefinitely until this legal matter is resolved. (i) can't really comment any further on the specifics of it, but I had a good meeting with him this morning,” Kirby said. We’re committed to continuing to educate our players and do the best job we can of making sure they understand the serious nature of these incidents.”
