The Big Lead —
... delved into the topic, and now Orlando Sentinel has chronicled all 24 “charges.” It should be noted that there haven’t been 24 arrests, but rather 24 “instances where a Gators player faced misdemeanor or felony CHARGES for a crime.” Interesting that with so many marijuana issues, Percy Harvin steered clear of the law. (Sentinel) ...
24 Gator Arrests Explained
Sports Page Atlanta —
The amazing thing is the violation to punishment to talent equation on the 24 Gator arrests since Meyer took over in Gainesville. It's not the quantity that blows me away. It's the punishment vs. the severity of the offenses or in other cases the frequency by which the offense seemed to evaporate inside the Gainesville Judicial System. ...

Gator spin doctors nip, tuck, exacerbate

... Florida, on the other hand, is playing defense in a most unusual fashion after the Orlando Sentinel rolled out the complete list Tuesday, first with a standard-issue statement by Urban Meyer, which -- while weird -- is just banal and non-specific enough to defend. Less feasible is what's supposed to pass as ...

Headlinin': Gators snap up bait, self-incriminate
Dr. Saturday —
... was just that, an offseason time killer by a a hacked-off hack in Miami. And then, because other people are bored, it catches on. This is a standard issue cycle-on, cycle-off bit, faux hand-wringing in response to (and stoking the flames of) faux righteousness and primordial taunting. It is the Internet; it is June.

... (An aside about the sheer absurdity and disingenuousness of that last sentence. Go back and look at the Sentinel's "database," which breaks down Gator arrests since 2005. I count nine cases that rise above garden-variety youthful delinquency. Three of those were tossed. One involved a guy sneaking into an impound to retrieve his girlfriend's towed car, which is downright noble. Nine cases since 2005, if you're counting generously. This a team "out of control"?) ...

... always news. When a South Florida Sun-Sentinel columnist noted Florida football's arrests, Adelson gave it a modest treatment. A few days later, Janoris Jenkins got hit with a little taze, and Fowler was giving you the blow-by-blow action. Since the Sun-Sentinel column was noted on May 28, the Sentinel has stuck with the story, pulling every last drop out of it. So much so that they managed to drag Urban Meyer out of his mancave to make a statement. From a database of arrests, to wondering if Florida's discipline savior should be ...

... So all of the following comes from a bunch of sources, but I’m just going to link to this one here because it’s a nice concise run-down. I’ll group them a bit differently, but it’s a good run-down of all 24 (AGAIN, 24!) arrests since Meyer took over at UF. (Note: We did a similar run-down in 2007, comparing UF to the Cincy Bengals and all their off-field troubles at the time. That is ...
