I really like coach Mac. This is scary stuff. Some "clever" guys think the've found a loophole that'll never get discovered. After a while, they're able to convince more and more players to jump on the gravy train. Then it all comes crashing down. Florida may be playing a LOT of walk-ons when the dust settles on this. Hopefully, this is everything but I don't think we've seen the end of this. Drip, drip, drip...

You do realize he has basically no say in this matter, right?
Some are calling him Pope Urban II due to the apparent lack of control within this program - did he jump the shark the first 2 years?
I remember Coach Richt put up with Georgia not giving him complete control. It's your ..., as a coach, on the line. I believe Richt has everything he wants at Miami. If there are problems, it'll all be on him.
Coach Mac may have put up with some interference up til now. He better get a handle on this ship or he'll be done at Florida and made the scapegoat, to boot.

"Snitches"??
Seriously??
Maybe they were just tired of seeing the team compromised by guys breaking rules and putting themselves first?
Think you should retract that line - but that quick response answers some questions I have been harboring about you and your posts
This is going to be interesting.
If it's just misuse of school funds (like our own textbook problem from 2007), it might be technically illegal, but is more an NCAA / school issue.
If it's no-foolin' credit card fraud, and it extends to multiple individuals, that's defrauding a federally-insured financial institution, and maybe conspiracy to do that, on top of the act itself.
It's up to the US Attorney to decide whether to prosecute, and that's usually a function of the dollars involved, though profile of the case does sometimes figure in.
So depending, depending, this could range from no effective legal problem, to no-kidding felony charges, with the possibility of life-altering prison time.
Here's what I don't know: what's a typical major university's policy on such for students that aren't on scholarship, and just part of the general student body?
In other words, what assurances do you have that your son or daughter won't be sharing a classroom with a classmate under indictment for a felony? Does that change if the indictment is for a violent offense?
I don't know the answers, but I am deadly curious.

C'mon Pit.....got some great games coming up. No need for any friction at this juncture. Let's keep the vibe on the up and up! Cheers!
Correct and this is why this is an "NCAA suspension" - not one that Mac had any say so in. And why the players are being suspended from ANY activities until restitution is made...plus whatever else is asked of them.
I think this will help Florida avoid any possible vacated wins, should affected players play.
What an embarrassment though....so many people hurt by this.
The only positive is the opportunities for other players to play, who wouldn't otherwise. I'm excited for those players.
I hate scUM so I am pulling for you guysC'mon Pit.....got some great games coming up. No need for any friction at this juncture. Let's keep the vibe on the up and up! Cheers!
And I think if players reported that stuff, they should be commended, not ridiculed
Coach Mac has suspended more players for one game than Jimbo has in his entire career. Got to admire him for sticking to principles.

You generally hope that the players realize they are jeopardizing a lot by doing stuff like this, but as we discovered back in '07, some folks will take advantage of a situation regardless of ethics...
A Gator graduate friend of mine who's family plugged in says that several players were close to $50k in fraudulent charges. We'll see how accurate his info is based on where this goes, but if the numbers he relayed are anywhere close to correct, this won't be swept under the rug...
I hope that this is not true for the sake of the young men involved. You don't come back from that kind of felony fraud charge.
