Orlando Sentinel - Published on 08/11/99

GAINESVILLE - This time, Rod Graddy didn't need to get in trouble. Just being around it was enough to end his University of Florida football career.

February 1999 - (Source, CBS Sportline)- Former UF football players Tim Beauchamp and Dock Pollard have been named in an investigation for accepting cash from a sports agent during the past football season. The roommate of the two University of Florida football players, has been charged with illegally funneling money from a Lousiana sports agent to the athletes.Michael Joseph McDonald, 23, acted as a middleman for the agent and distributed the money to players. McDonald, of Gainesville, was charged with one felony count of unlicensed athletic agent activity. "We're anticipating more charges" against other individuals, said policespokeswoman Sandy Badics. She could not say whether other players were involved. Florida officials said they learned about the investigation in late November, after the regular season had ended. The school suspended Beauchamp and Pollard on Dec. 28, before the Orange Bowl, for a violation of university rules. UF officials did not go public with incident until February, 10, nearly three months after the incident and a week after national signing day.

Skinner was quoted saying, "[t]he judge told me my driving record was so bad that I was looking at a year (in jail)...."

I told the attorneys I played football for the Gators and I had practice in a couple of weeks, and they brought it down to 15 days with probation."

August, 1995 (Source: Sports Illustrated) - Sports Illustrated runs an article where it described the UF football program as "a football program plagued with domestic violence problems among its players." The article focused on the mild sentences imposed on Johnie Church and Teako Brown for domestic violence assaults. Both players were only suspended for the season opener at Houston for their alleged actions. The article read: "The Florida football program, which does not have to meet the same standards as the judicial system, suspended Church and Brown for one game--a game in which the Gators will likely be no less than a four-touchdown favorite.... That penalty is considerably lighter than the one Spurrier levied against reserves Darren Hambrick and Anthony Riggins after the two fought at a banquet last New Year's Eve; they were dismissed from the team. Thus Florida seems to be sending the message that domestic violence isn't even as serious as an intrasquad scuffle."

July, 1995 (Source: Sun-Sentinel [Ft. Lauderdale Fla.])- Four University of Florida football players, including starting wide receiver Reidel Anthony and tailback Fred Taylor, were charged for fraudulent use of a credit card. The misdemeanor charges against Anthony and Taylor, both sophomores at the time, freshman wide receiver Jamie Richardson and redshirt freshman free safety Teako Brown came after a Gainesville police investigation. Had the credit-card charges totaled more than $100, it would have been a felony. The misdemeanor charge carried a maximum sentence of one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. The pizza orders -made over the telephone on four separate occasions with Pizza Hut, Papa John's and Hungry Howie's - were placed from and delivered to the UF campus, police said.

Multiple author compilation on The Ultimate Seminole Sports Site

Feel free to copy and distribute to your Gator friends. The U of Felons is alive and well in Gainesville.

Ian Skinner- spent 15 days in jail for driving on a suspended license? he failed two drug tests during his playing days, one for Ecstasy before he finally transferred.

Zac Zedalis- suspended for having a gun in his dorm room? sent death threat letter to a Central Michigan player

Ryan Kalich- arrested for driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident.

Pat Browning- arrested for DUI? also arrested on one count of misdemeanor theft when he allegedly stole a purse at a Gainesville nightclub

Dock Pollard- arrested for a felony count of aggravated battery and one count of misdemeanor battery when he hit a girl in the face with a beer bottle? was also involved with agents.. implicated in the stolen book caper with Hill and Taylor

Dwight Edge- arrested and charged with felony aggravated stalking, his second violent offense in less than a year.. also arrested for battery on a fellow student. It was after the stalking incident that Spurrier added his infamous quote in Jan 1999, ?I can assure all Gators that those players who cause embarrassment to our team and university will not play for us.? LOL!!! I guess he had a strange definition of what embarrassment meant considering what has happened since then.

Damian Hill- arrested on two felony counts of dealing in stolen property and two misdemeanor counts of theft for stealing text books? left school mainly due to academic problems

Fred Taylor- charged with one count of felony dealing in stolen property for the stolen textbooks and eventually pled down to a misdemeanor theft. Fred gave a statement to the police that he knew the bookbag and its contents were stolen when given to him by Damian Hill. His remorse for this situation as to state, ?I still feel like I didn?t do nothing. I think the county just wanted the money.?, referring to the $108 fine?? Charged with misdemeanor for his role in Pizzagate, where he and several teammates found a credit card number and used it to buy pizza. Taylor and the others received no suspension from Coach Spurrier and played in several games before the judicial affairs committee stepped in and gave them a game. Before the season and the suspension, Spurrier said, ?They got their sentence. It?s a secret. They are all scheduled to play. That?s all we need to tell you about it. We?ll handle it internally.? The Sarasota Herald-Tribune said trouble seems to cling to Taylor like dirt on a little boy. The LA Times said Spurrier kept saving his trouble prone back, getting him out of the administration office and back onto the field.

Willie Jackson- arrested for felony battery on a law enforcement officer when he was prevented from entering the student section for Gator Growl. One officer had to be taken to the hospital for facial bruising and a shoulder injury? he was suspended for all of one game and was actually allowed to play in one game after the incident.

Jaime Richardson- It only took two separate felonies before Jaime was kicked off the team. He committed a felony by throwing a deadly missile into an occupied structure and hit a person inside. It seems he was mad that he had to pay a cover charge to get into the place. His next felony was aggravated battery when he hit a guy over the head with a pool stick. He was also involved in Pizzagate and the misdemeanor from that.

Teako Brown- Involved in Pizzagate and that misdemeanor? Arrested on felony aggravated battery charges after slapping his 8-month pregnant girlfriend and throwing her to the ground. Spurrier decided to play hardball on this felony and gave him a one game suspension. After Brown?s and Johnnie Mitchell?s one game suspension for their incidents, Sports Illustrated criticized Spurrier saying , ?seems to be sending the message domestic violence isn?t even as serious as an intrasquad scrimmage.? Atta boy Spurs!!!!

Elijah Williams- Charged with felony sexual battery, charged with misdemeanor for lying to police during the investigation. Was placed on probation by the university, however was never suspended by Spurs.

Johnnie Church- arrested on a misdemeanor charge of soliciting a prostitute (could never find any suspension for this)? Arrested on battery domestic violence charges when he grabbed his wife by the neck and threw her around the bedroom, which left a bruise on her neck. He was quoted as saying, ?It wasn?t any brutal violence. I know it wasn?t anything big.? Spurrier, in another get tough stance, suspended him for a game.

Ernie Badeaux- Participated in a barroom brawl, in which he broke his hand. While get tough Spurrier only suspended him for one game, the university made it 6 games. He was kicked off the team for an undisclosed violation in 1997. Spurs must have swept a big one under the rug there.

Reidel Anthony- involved in a misdemeanor with Pizzagate. Get tough Spurs gave no suspension.

Derrick Corker- charged with battery domestic violence and criminal mischief involving a disagreement over a game of Monopoly. Corker grabbed his girlfriend by the hair and threw her to the ground.

Tony Davis- arrested on felony sexual battery and aggravated assault charges. He attempted to throw a girl over a 4th floor railing of her dormitory. The next morning he returned, forced his way into her dorm room, and raped her. At the time, he had an outstanding warrant for violation of probation. He was also arrested for driving on a suspended license. He eventually left school.

Aubrey Hill- arrested on domestic violence charges

Lito Sheppard- Lito failed a drug test for marijuana. It seems as if failed drug tests disappear when your team could be without both starting corners and your first game is against a pass happy Marshall team. It was rumored, but never proven, that he was with Jabar when he raided the locker room.

Jabar Gaffney- Part of UF?s first family of crime? perhaps one of the most notorious criminals ever at UF, but only because he was never punished by UF for his crimes. He committed two felonies when he burglarized a high school teams locker room and stole money and a watch. The situation got worse when there ultimately never any punishment for the legend dubbed ?Jaburglar Gafelony?. He was ?kicked off? the team, but allowed to stay on scholarship the following spring. When Spurrier unexpectedly lost two receivers to the NFL draft, Mr. Win at all Costs Spurrier had a sudden change of heart and allowed him to return to the team. However, he was off scholarship and in the doghouse. To this day, no one can tell me where he was working so he could pay for school when he wasn?t on scholarship. The alleged ?doghouse? resulted in him being the 3rd string receiver by the time the season started and starting by the 3rd game. How could Spurs have been so harsh????? His scholarship was, of course, given back?. In a rather ironic twist, Gaffney beat a child that was trying to steal from him. Gaffney is the defendant in a civil suit as a result of excessive force. It seems this child, who was 14, was such a force that Gaffney, Bam Hardmon, and another player, all players on the UF football team could barely restrain him. (Riiiggghhttt?wink) Bam had to kick the child 3 times and kicked him three times so hard, it caused a stress fracture in his leg. When asked if the police should be called, Gaffney responded, ?Hell no? and proceeded to try and drown the child in nearby lake. The child is alleging neurological injury from the beating?.. Gaffney also started a brawl on Bourbon Street with U of M players because he couldn?t handle being called names by them. Realizing he needed every player to have any chance of beating Miami, Spurrier, Mr. Win at all Costs, suspended no one for the melee?.. The funniest thing is that Jaburglar received more punishment for a throat slash gesture (1/2 game), than any of the above. (Spurrier at his finest!!!!!)

Rod Graddy- driver of a get away car after two men robbed a man of a $1200 bracelet. As Timothy Taylor entered the car, he pointed a gun at two men chasing him. When pulled over, Graddy told police Taylor had thrown the gun out the window. Graddy failed two drug tests while at UF.

Gerard Warren- arrested for possession of marijuana?. Taken into custody in handcuffs for his part in the brawl with UM?.. you think he missed any game time for the brawl??.NO WAY baby!!!!

Clint Mitchell- has failed several drug tests while at UF, the second one rumored to be for cocaine? also implicated in a sexual battery? after sitting out for most of the season, he made it back only to be suspended for the rest of the year for reasons Spurrier has kept hidden

Kyle Morris- gambling on college and profession sports, testimony entered said he spent between $300 to $1500 a week gambling, and on more than one occasion included the Gators on his betting slip

Shane Matthews- implicated in gambling with Morris

Brady Ackerman- implicated in gambling with Morris

G. Mangus- implicated in gambling with Morris

Tony McCoy- charged with felony counts of sexual battery and aggravated battery

Anthony Mitchell- misdemeanor battery charge

Darren Hambrick/Anthony Riggins- involved in a very violent fight with each other, Hambrick used a broken glass on Riggins face, that ultimately required reconstructive surgery. Both players ended up at the hospital.

Terrence Foy- unknown what his transgressions were. First hit with a one game suspension. Then he was hit with a 5 game suspension. He was then suspended for a the whole year and it was unknown if it was for another violation, or an extension of the 5 game. He left school the following spring. Based on the number of games involved for each one, it appears drugs. However, nothing could be confirmed.

Players known to have been involved with agents are Ike Hilliard, Jevon Kearse, Jacquez Green, Mike Peterson, Reggie McGrew, Johnny Rutledge, Keith Council, Tim Beauchamp, Mo Collins, and Tony George

There have also been a host of other players suspended, but Spurs managed to keep the reasons quiet, such as Nafis Karim, Eugene McCaslin, Travis Caroll, Kavin Walton, Mike Moten, to name a few.

Bryan Savelio - Florida defensive end Bryan Savelio and his wife, Luisa, were involved in a domestic dispute. Luisa Savelio said she slapped her husband after he repeatedly called her derogatory names and he slapped her back. Florida coach Ron Zook said Savelio, who has played in all eight games and started in six, is not suspended and will play Saturday.

Reid Fleming ?

Clint Mitchell - During the 2001 season , Mitchell missed the first six games and the final four of the season because of campus and University Athletic Association rules. Mitchell was accused of committing sexual battery against a female UF student in July of 2001. The attack allegedly took place on 06/20/2001 in the early morning hours. Mitchell's lawyer, Tom Edwards, claims that the incident consisted of consensual sex and the investigation is expected to take about 30 days to be completed. However, the incident appeared to be unrelated to Mitchell's six-game suspension for the 2001 season. His attorney was quoted in the Gainesville Sun as saying, "That suspension is not a result of these allegations. He has other problems with the university. Those problems are not a result of this allegation." He was suspended for six weeks at the beginning of his sophomore season for violating university policy. Shortly after he was reinstated, he was suspended again for another violation of university policy. Mitchell started in all 12 games he played and was considered UF's best defensive lineman during the 2002 season. "I want to thank my parents and brother for their support the last several years," Mitchell said. "I would also like to thank coach Ron Zook and coach Red Anderson for their support this past season. I will be forever grateful to them for helping me get back on the field."

Kennard Ellis Jr. - University of Florida defensive end Kennard Ellis Jr. was charged with drug possession after deputies found him smoking marijuana in a car. Ellis was charged late Thursday with a single felony count of possession of marijuana. He was booked, jailed and later released. Deputies spotted Ellis and a friend in a car smoking marijuana after they received a phone call about a domestic disturbance, according to the charging affidavit. Smoke was coming from a partially-open window. When a deputy patted down Ellis, she found 32.2 grams of marijuana in a plastic bag in his front pocket, according to the affidavit. No one answered the phone at Florida's sports information office after hours. Ellis has an unlisted phone number in Orlando. Ellis' arrest was made public the same day Steve Spurrier announced he was resigning as Florida's coach.

Kelvin Kight - Three members of the University of Florida football team face notices to appear in court from the University Police Department for possession of alcohol for someone under the age of 21 and violation of the open container law. According to the UPD report, Gator football players Kelvin Kight, Sylvester McGrew, and Maurice Mitchell were all given notices to appear in court concerning their charges. The alleged incident took place late Saturday night near Fraternity Row and The Springs Complex on the University of Florida campus. The UPD report states that there were four illegally parked vehicles near the Springs Complex with several people standing around the vehicles. One of the vehicles allegedly belonged to Mitchell and UPD officers found an open bottle of vodka in the car. Mitchell and Kight are starters for the Gator football team while McGrew is a reserve defensive lineman. It remains to be seen what punishment, if any, is given to the players by Gator football coach Ron Zook.

Sylvester McGrew - McGrew was one of three members of the University of Florida football team that faced notices to appear in court from the University Police Department for possession of alcohol for someone under the age of 21 and violation of the open container law.
