Guns, gamblers and domestic violence: What is new Gators coach Dan Mullen going to do to clean up this mess?

Six UF football players were involved in a May 28 confrontation on campus and must face the student conduct board. The group of players, including senior tight end C'yontai Lewis, top receiver Tyrie Cleveland and incoming freshman quarterback Emory Jones, were not charged following a UFPD investigation. "This has been an opportunity for us to educate our players about the dangers and negative perceptions that can occur when conflict arises, and how important honesty and good decision making is," UF football coach Dan Mullen said in a statement, adding that the university is handling player discipline. According to the UFPD report, the BB gun incident in late May stemmed from a confrontation outside Keys residential complex between several players and a local gambler, Devante' Zachery.
