You always hate to hear something like this. Even if it is Florida.

I fully appreciate the fact that marihuana is against the law and that student athletes are held rightly or wrongly to a higher standard of conduct than students but come on; are you telling me the Gainesville coppers don’t have anything better or more important to do?

That campus with few exceptions Ohio State / USC to name two has one of highest campus violent crime rates in the country and the local P.D. is setting up pot stings?

I understand what you're saying R&B, but drugs could be the reason for the other crimes.

Drugs yeah, not weed Lighthouse.

I'm sorry, I should have included weed too. And anything else that influences the mind.
