SEC Country Florida: Discipline is an ongoing theme of Jim McElwain's tenure

QuoteHe suspended 14 players, dismissed three from the team and took a harder stance on marijuana possession citations than his predecessor. Under former Florida coach Will Muschamp, six players were cited from 2011-14; none was suspended for those charges.

McElwain, however, handed out one-game suspensions to running backs Jordan Scarlett and Mark Thompson for marijuana citations. Now McElwain is faced with possible disciple for wide receiver Antonio Callaway, who was cited for marijuana possession on May 13.

McElwain expressed disappointment in Callaway, but he wouldn't say if Callaway's punishment could jeopardize his status for Florida's season opener against Michigan.

SEC Country compiled a timeline of the arrests and suspensions under McElwain's watch. The NCAA suspension of Will Grier and university suspensions of Callaway and Treon Harris were not included...

The case against former Florida linebacker Daniel McMillian was dismissed May 31 due to insufficient evidence, according to court documents.

He had been facing two felony charges, for sexual battery and false imprisonment.


QuoteAccording to State Attorney Bill Cervone, the woman's conflicting stories regarding her relationship with McMillian did not make her testimony credible.

"She changed her story regarding the nature of the relationship between the two of them," Cervone said Thursday.

The woman originally told Gainesville police that she had a work relationship only with McMillian. But during the State Attorney's investigation, she admitted that the day before the alleged incident she performed oral sex on McMillian in her car in the parking lot of a Winn-Dixie.

McMillian was arrested April 6. According to police, the woman visited his apartment for "legitimate professional reasons." McMillian was accused of locking the door and preventing her from leaving.

McMillian then was accused of exposing his genitals to the woman and also grabbing her buttocks and skirt, at which time she kicked him in the genitals, according to police.
