Florida QB Treon Harris Investigated in Alleged Sex Assault: Two days after he helped Florida come back to a 10-9 road victory over Tennessee, freshman quarterback Treon Harris has been suspended indefinitely by the team because of an alleged crime involving a female student. The crime is not yet being described, but university president Bernie Machen said in a statement, "We have no tolerance for sexual assault on our campus."

I watched this game Saturday. Florida's performance was so bad I thought Will Muschamp might be fired this week after a loss, but Harris came in and the flatlining offense woke up just enough to eke out a victory.

The alleged incident happened after 2:30 a.m. Sunday at a school residential complex.

My cynical take is that Harris won't get the benefit of the doubt Jameis Winston did because he didn't prove enough on the field yet and Florida isn't a national title contender. So he's probably out until the legal situation is resolved.

I can picture someone in Tallahassee saying "Their guy goes out and does whatever our guy gets up on a table and tells him to do".
