UF investigating possible gambling?

Florida officials have been investigating a possible gambling incident involving sophomore guard Nick Callathes, according to a repot on Yahoo! Sports.
According to Yahoo!, Florida's internal investigation determined Calathes had approximately $600 in debts for gambling on poker, sources told the website.
The investigation did not find that Calathes or other Florida basketball players bet on sporting events, which would be a violation of NCAA rules, sources said.
Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley told Yahoo! Sports on Friday the probe did not find any evidence of wrongdoing that would affect players’ eligibility or impact the school.
Florida opens the season in less than two hours against Toledo at the O'Connell Center.
