Updated: Suspended Players Update #1003

[Gator Fever]

I think its almost a zero chance any of those players get on the field prior to the bowl game if even then. Heck the State says it will probably be a couple of weeks before they decide what to do going forward with the police recommendations then it will be a while after that before any deal would be offered.

 

[rogdochar]

personally, I'm done with Callaway. It's just doesn't seem worth it at this point. who cares if the previous charges were dropped or how one of the marijuana charges came up? the guy keeps screwing up. the cons outweigh the pros, it's time to move on

You're casting it where they're bedding, Fishon: Callaway is a pro con.

 

[NVGator]

Still no 2222? Even after two wins. Weird.

Wonder where McPhail has been?

 

[MJMGator]

2222 isn't around because Mac doesn't have time to post the during the season.

he was at gsmb. not there either. I think they may have arrested him with the housing sweep.

I’m here. Just busy saving lives from both hurricanes. And I was never an advocate for these guys actions I was merely stating how The scam could have possibly worked and the University could have kept it under wraps if it was just involving the bookstore, but from what I’m reading here it now sounds like it’s more than just getting 500 extra bucks a month. It also makes me wonder if the fall out from the recent basketball FBI investigation doesn’t bleed over into the football programs for all the schools not just Florida. Either way these guys are Fd at the University of Florida.

Assuming these guys are toast does that free up scholarships for recruiting this year?

I believe so, I think it depends when/if they are released from their scholarship... I'm sure a few of the recruiting heads can offer more clarity.

Of course it does. The official count is made at the start of fall classes.

 

[CapitalGator02]

The audacity, stupidity and flat out entitled attitude shown by the players knows no bounds. These guys clearly thought that they wouldn't be caught and if they had been busted, they would quickly be exonerated because they are football players. There needs to be a cosmic shift in this mentality among all college sports and if it means making an example out of these guys, so be it.

None of them would have a scholarship if I were king. At best, they could get a Jabar Gaffney treatment and have to earn their way back on the team as a walkon until then.

As a beneficial corrective measure, create a required credit course in Ethics, EZified for ball players. The course should be designed for these specialized "at risk" brains. It should empasize the chain reaction set of by a single crime. It should make their sense of honor as much a source of pride as the pride they take in making a good football play. Basically, the course needs to be an eye-opener for these kids, using examples of pro-athletes (Kareem Abdul Jabbar) who got bilked out of millions by the unethical investment managers with no honor or internal ethics.

In recruiting we can tell the parents that UF has an "honesty-course" to make sure their kids aren't cheated by dishonest predators ;););).

Callaway should return if he settles everything and pays back the money. I mean, everybody deserves a 67th chance, right?

Locker room cancer: all the other players worrying about their stuff in their unattended lockers.

Who stole from the player lockers? Was that Gaffney?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Yes. but i think it was campers or recruits' lockers not his own team.

Good memory. I think it was some football camp that Spurrier ran (not sure it was called FNL then). Could have been HS championship game at the swamp.

How embarrassing. In a lobby. Front page of TBT. Tuesday's.
