I see nothing wrong with what DM is saying. Not many people get a full day off to go and vote with polls being open until 8'ish I believe. And yes, we do have early voting in Florida but the NCAA just wants to look like they are the all caring organization that they aren't. On the other hand, nobody is practicing so there is no disadvantages so the whining makes him look bad.
The NCAA ruled on Sept. 16 that all college programs must give their student-athletes a mandatory day off on election day. Election day falls on Nov. 3 this season, right in the middle of Florida-Georgia week for the Gators.
That forced Mullen to scrap a plan to have all his players accompany each other to the voting both within the team's scheduled activities during the season.
"We have early voting in Florida," Mullen said Monday. "So unfortunately the NCAA put in that rule that during a game week you can’t practice that day. So we did have a lot of things planned within our team that now we can’t do any team activity that day, so unfortunately no."
