Just hang in there. In a mere nine days, the SEC media days will commence, followed by the ACC's four days later, followed by other conferences shortly thereafter, and then summer camps will start and, before you know it, the dawn of a new season will be upon us. Until then, though...

According to the Orlando Sentinel, a Florida assistant coach posted on the Facebook walls of two football recruits, leading to two of four secondary violations the school "committed" between June 1,2009, and June 15 of this year. The Gators were turned into the SEC by an unnamed rival school after an unnamed assistant at the school, who was monitoring the Facebook walls of recruits, noticed the impermissible contact.
