The Florida Gators will open the 2017 season without star running back Jordan Scarlett due to a violation of team rules.
Per Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports, Scarlett has been indefinitely suspended by Florida head coach Jim McElwain.
Florida has suspended nine players, including Scarlett, for reportedly misusing school-issued funds, per Mark Longof the Associated Press.
ESPN.com's Edward Aschoff reported the suspensions were due to players "making improper charges on their student IDs at the school bookstore and then selling those items for cash."
Feldman reported that none of the suspended players have been charged with anything since the investigation is still ongoing.
