MACON — Georgia coach Mark Richt hopes there is room for “discretion” in the SEC’s new rule which blocks schools from accepting transfers who have had “serious misconduct” problems. The Southeastern Conference is the first league to prohibit accepting transfers of student-athletes who have a history of such offenses. The league defined serious misconduct as sexual assault, domestic violence or other forms of sexual violence.
