An ESPN report released Sunday found that the Florida Gators had the most football and men’s basketball athletes named in criminal investigations from 2009-14. FSU comes in second with 66.

The investigation focused on a sampling of 10 large programs, including Auburn, Florida, Missouri and Texas A&M. OTL documented each time football and basketball players at those schools became named suspects in crimes from 2009 to 2014, then studied whether those players were charged and prosecuted.

Of those 10 schools, Florida by far represented the most athletes named in criminal allegations. In just five years, 80 Gators football or basketball players were named as suspects in 100 different crimes. Police dropped charges or did not investigate 56 percent of the time, exactly double the comparative figure for the general college-age male population in Gainesville, Fla.
