DESTIN, Fla. (AP) The Southeastern Conference has adopted a rule prohibiting its schools from enrolling student-athletes with ''serious misconduct'' issues at previous colleges.
Call it the Jonathan Taylor statue.
The league defined serious misconduct as ''sexual assault, domestic violence or other forms of sexual violence.''
No other conference has a similar conduct rule.
Georgia proposed the new legislation in the wake of Taylor's troubles. The Bulldogs dismissed Taylor last July after he was arrested on a charge of felony aggravated assault and family violence.
