Nine Florida players have been suspended since the start of the season and are now facing third-degree felony charges related to an investigation into improper debit card charges and alleged fraudulent use of ************.
The players facing felony charges are running back Jordan Scarlett, wide receivers Antonio Callaway and Rick Wells, defensive linemen Jordan Smith, Keivonnis Davisand Richerd Desir-Jones, linebackers James Houston IV and Ventrell Miller, and offensive lineman Kadeem Telfort.
The nine players all faces at least two felony charges, one for fraud under $20,000 and one for impersonation. Smith faces three additional impersonation charges. Telfort faces a total of 30 felony charges, including the fraud charge, 13 impersonation charges, 12 charges for illegal credit card use and three charges of falsifying his identity.

The nine players have been serving indefinite suspensions since the start of the season.
Complaints were filed against each of the respective players and will now be reviewed by the State Attorney's Office. In the complaints, the investigators discovered that "students had added large amounts of funds electronically to their UF Bookstore debit accounts using one or several different ************ that did not belong to them. Some of the students even saved the card for future charges. … The students then used the funds in their UF Bookstore debit accounts to purchase items from the UF Bookstore in person."


Most of the players purchased electronics, including Apple laptops, iPads and Beats headphones, with the funds they added to their respective accounts. Telfort is also accused of using the stolen ************ for multiple food deliveries, which is why he's facing dozens more charges than the others.
"We obviously took this matter very seriously, as evidence by Coach [Jim] McElwain's decision to suspend the players immediately and indefinitely from all team activities," athletics director Scott Stricklin said in a statement. "We have respected the appropriate process from the beginning and will continue to do so."
The biggest names are Callaway and Scarlett, two starters and playmakers on offense. They are each accused of transferring just under $2,000 to their university bookstore accounts. Smith is accused of taking over $5,000 in credit card funds across his schol bookstore and parking accounts. Desir-Jones and Miller each allegedly transferred under $2,000, while Telfort, Davis, Wells and Houston all added $1,500 or less.
Callaway was Florida's leading receiver last season, and he's been a star special teams contributor since beginning his career at Florida. Scarlett led the Gators in rushing yards and touchdowns a year ago. Neither has played a down in 2017, and with these recent charges, it's likely both will miss even more time. Davis was the only other player expected to see significant action this season.

There are over 150,000 student athletes enjoying over $2.9billion in scholarship benefits.

Having food delivered and purchasing iPads and Beats headphones are not necessities for living.

They're on scholarships. Accommodation, education, and yes food is taken care of. Trust me, I was on one for hockey and didn't have to worry about anything, nor did football friends I knew.

Of course you didn't comment on the felonies. You tried to rationalize their behavior by portraying them as victims and deflected accountability to the universities. Total bs

The cafeteria isn't open 24/7 at most places.... you guys forget too quickly. players have commented on seeing their jersey for sale at the games and in the campus store and online. They're dead broke. Been a number of them come out and talk about it. The RB the dude that played for The Texans I think from the Vols talked about it for hours on joe rogans podcast. Trust me a lot of CFB players you watch are broke as fukk.

I think most normal people might say they should get some off the money but only blacks would say that a group of criminals had no other choice but to commit a million felonies to get by.

You do know they will pay them $20/hr to turn on the automatic sprinklers, right??? Blacks are so lazy they won't even accept a fake job.

[teaserpleaser]

You're looking into it a little too hard....I'm just saying the kids need to be paid.

That's my focus if that's making them victims to you that's cool.

You seem to REALLY be focused on the felonies. Not my problem. I don't really care either way.

But the kids should be paid obviously.

It's not "THEIR" Jersey, it's the school jersey. The athletes have no proprietary rights and the school is under no obligation to put athletes name on the jersey, thou I'm sure players would have a heart attack if they lost that avenue of recognition.

No-one understands property rights anymore, which is why we have a generation of cluelessness.

[Wheatgrass]

UF athletes have free food available 24/7

id bet my left nut on that

Call me crazy but I think uh

I think these young men should be compensated for their likeness being used and sold for a big profit.

I also think they should get more than a gift bag and a ring in some cases for bowl games where their university makes a killing.
Theres something wrong with you if you read that and say "nah fukk that I'm still good with those kids not getting paid. "

obviously not for hot fries and gummy worms and I forget the rest of the junk food.

I cant prove it but it sounds like somebody had the munchies.

This thread was about football players committing felonies. You decided to immediately post that was proof players need to be paid. You are saying not being paid to play football caused these football players to commit felonies. I and other reasonable posters are saying that is a lie, the football players cause themselves to commit felonies. It's more false narrative bs and everyone is getting really sick of it.

[maggiethebestdog]

I think were done here.

Since you think "were" and "we're" are the same thing, I realize you are retarded. My bad.

You used the article to make a point that this situation shows that players need to be paid because they are "broke". A normal person would realize this is about criminal activity. If you wanted to bring up the issue of pay you could have started out with "obviously this behavior has nothing to do with guys getting paid but maybe we need to start that conversation up again". I know that would require a double digit IQ to figure out, so once again, my bad.

Florida football players are most likely paid. They can get anything they want 24/7. They can get fake jobs. They could get a real job. You are so stupid you think they can't have a job. They don't go to class, never study and the athletic dept pays smart students do their work at a C grade level. This is about a bunch of thugs, period.

Other than that stuff you make some really good points.

Nobody is saying that. They are saying that using this situation to make that argument is retarded. Junk food???

I will ask what someone already did. WTF is wrong with you???
