New Florida football coach Dan Mullen is making it crystal clear early on that he has no tolerance for his players missing classes, and he’s got a unique strategy to deal with this issue.On Tuesday, Mullen unveiled this strategy, which was to have his team running gassers — a plan they weren’t happy about.
