Summary: GatorCountry brings you a new podcast as we have Chris Lee from Vandy Sports on the show to help preview Florida Gators vs. Vanderbilt.<br> Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre ask Lee the tough questions about this game and ask him the strengths and weakness of Vanderbilt.<br> Andrew and Nick also talk about the charges being brought against the nine Florida suspended players.<br> TRANSCRIPT:<br> Andrew:What’s up, Gator Country? Your man, Andrew Spivey, here with Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, it’s going on. Wild Monday.<br><br> Nick:Monday. It’s the beginning of, not necessarily the beginning of the end, but the beginning of a resolution to all of this.<br><br> Andrew:Yeah. It was a lot more severe than a lot of us had thought it was going to be. It happens. It looks like things are going to start moving, as you said, to a direction of coming to an end. It looks like there might be several guys that face some long-time punishment.<br><br> Nick:Yeah. This is going to take a while for the state attorney to finish it, to finish his investigation. That’s certainly on the table as far as guys could be getting in trouble and facing a lot of trouble, or guys could go through pretrial diversion and, if they’re good, they’ll be okay. It’s really kind of just up in the air, and it’s going to be on the state attorney.<br><br> Andrew:I don’t know a better way to say it, Nick, except for what dumbasses. I hate to use that word for that, but what dumbasses, Nick. You know what’s right from wrong. I mean, I understand smoking marijuana. It’s whatever. Those guys smoke marijuana. They think it’s cool. Whatever. Stealing another man’s credit card, Nick, and purchasing stuff that you know is rightfully not your money is wrong. You know it’s wrong. You know you’re not going to get away with it. I have no sympathy for these guys.<br><br> Someone on Twitter was arguing with me on Monday night about how Alabama would brush it under the rug. Well, I don’t care what Alabama does. This is a difference between right and wrong. Football’s a privilege. Going to school for free is a privilege. It’s not something you’re guaranteed. It’s not something that is promised to you. It’s not something everybody can get. If you can’t follow the rules, you shouldn’t play football. If you’re going to steal from another man, no. I just have no sympathy for you.<br><br> Nick:Then when you look. There are a couple guys, seven of the nine guys involved, only did it once. You can kind of explain that away as being young or as making a mistake. When you’re using, in Kadeem Telfort’s case, trying five, six different cards multiple times, over 30 times, you can’t explain that away as a mistake.<br><br> Andrew:Right. Exactly. I don’t know, Nick. Maybe I’m being harsh on them. I don’t know what it is. I don’t agree. I don’t think that this should have been swept under the rug or tried to cover up or anything else. You do the crime, you face the punishment. Everyone, me and you get pretrial diversion. Everyone in America gets that at some point or another, and if that’s what the state attorney decides to do to these guys, then that’s fine, but no special privilege should be given to these guys whatsoever. Quite frankly, even if they do get pretrial diversion, like you said in your story, it’s unlikely they’d be back. They shouldn’t even have the opportunity to come back. Not this year.<br><br> Nick:What about this? Jim McElwain has earned a reputation as a player’s coach. He stuck his neck out there for James Robinson, has done that for other players. What would it do recruiting wise if he kicks nine people off the team? Seven, because you would assume that Scarlett and Callaway would be leaving anyway.<br><br> Andrew:Well, I don’t think that it does anything from that standpoint. It’s simply, at the end of the day, Nick, they have a job to do. Mac has a job to do, and the university has a job to do,
