I don't see how Mac can keep Callaway on the team at this point. If he lets him stay it just makes the others feel like they can do whatever they want.
Update:
#Gators suspend 7 players for season opener vs. Michigan: J.Houston, K.Telfort, K.Davis, A.Callaway, J.Smith, R.Desir-Jones, and V.Miller.
Suspension due to misuse of school stipend. Out of this group of 7...Callaway is a big time playmaker who really hurts the team by his absence. Fortunately for UF, WR is its deepest position, but no doubt Callaway is special. Not good heading into a tough opener v Michigan.
Stop whining. We're beating them regardless. I'm actually glad those players will be back for our game. I want no excuses coming from Florida after we kick their butt for a second straight season.

Suspension due to misuse of school stipend. Out of this group of 7, three are true Freshmen and likely would have redshirted anyway (Miller, Telfort, Houston), two are deep reserves (Desir-Jones, J Smith), Davis is a contributing DE who would have seen snaps, and of course Callaway is a big time playmaker who really hurts the team by his absence. Fortunately for UF, WR is its deepest position, but no doubt Callaway is special. Not good heading into a tough opener v Michigan.
Same reason Saban, Jimbo Fisher, Urban Meyer and others keep great players around, even ones who get in some off the field trouble. Not saying it's right, just saying you shouldn't be surprised.
I understand what it feels like wanting a rival team to kick a player off, especially a great one like Callaway. I mentioned in another thread, Jamies Winston and Dalvin Cook should have been booted from FSU and I raised hell when they weren't. Not because I'm some righteous law and order guy, but because my team stood a better chance of beating FSU without them. So I know where you're coming from.
The real punishment for Callaway will be sliding from a high #1 pick to late second round. He's costing himself millions.
Im saying it knowing it will affect the whole team. Doesn't matter what Mac does. If it was the Vols I would say the same. I'm also not worried about him playing in our game. Yea he had 134 yards receiving but that was it. Had a punt fumble and called for a fair catch on a punt at the one.

He's lucky he's still on the team. What's this 2nd suspension
Callaway was cited for misdemeanor marijuana possession early Saturday morning in Gainesville, which, on the surface, seems like a relatively minor offense. However, at the time Callaway was a passenger in a black Mercedes SUV driven by 40-year-old Kendrick Williams, who has a rap sheet longer than War and Peace. Williams has been arrested more than a dozen times on charges such as battery, cocaine possession, drug trafficking, grand theft, and lewd and lascivious behavior with a child 12 to 16 years of age.
I think you're minimizing or forgetting... Two years ago he was responsible for one of the most unbelievable plays in Gator history and the history of the UF-UT rivalry when he took it to the house with a little over a minute left, on 4th and 13, as a True Freshman playing in his third college game ever. The kid is a phenomenal player. Tennessee, Michigan and everyone else stands a better chance versus Florida if he's not playing.
