So there you go. Todd Gurley remains suspended indefinitely. He will not make the trip to Little Rock unless a decision is made before the UGA plane departs, which should be around noon on Friday.
Georgia and Arkansas square off at 4pm ET on Saturday at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. The game will be televised by the SEC Network.
