Should Florida Fans Worry About Outside the Lines' Discipline Report?

Florida and Florida State were the subjects of a mini-scandal on Sunday morning, when ESPN's Outside the Lines featured the two schools as the two centerpieces of its larger investigation into the correlation of player discipline and how local law enforcement treats athletes.

In Florida's case, author and investigative reporter Paula Lavigne discovered that 80 Florida football and men's basketball players were named as suspects in more than 100 crimes between 2009-2014, which amounts to 24 percent of the rosters of those sports during the six-year span.

Is that concerning?

Sure.

But most of these incidents were already known by the public, and those discipline issues were addressed by former head coach Will Muschamp.
