    Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd must sit out another game and make arrangements to pay about $2,700 to charity before he is eligible to compete again.

    The NCAA's student-athlete reinstatement staff handed down its decision Thursday. Floyd sat out Florida's season opener last week and will do the same Saturday night against UAB.

    "I'm angered, disgusted and extremely disappointed that Sharrif will have to miss two games," Gators coach Will Muschamp said. "In my opinion, Sharrif is getting lumped into what is bad about college athletics. ... Sharrif is what is good about college athletics -- his life is about survival, struggle, disappointment and adversity.

    "I have recruited kids that did not know where they would sleep that night or what they would eat. Growing up, Sharrif was one these kids. Sharrif's life is also about triumph, honesty, integrity, determination, perseverance and character. The NCAA stated that he received preferential treatment. There is nothing preferential about his life."
