Kentucky Football: Did you know that Kentucky has had nine players arrested in the last three years?

Even if the four Vandy players are convicted on potential charges, the 88th ranked Commodores won't take a significant leap in the Fulmer Cup lifetime standings, but they could leap ahead of Kentucky (70th) and Louisville (75th). Here's what the Times-Picayune found concerning the SEC:

According to an unofficial count tallied by NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune in that span, four programs are in double figures, led by newcomer Missouri with 18, not counting two coaches' arrest for DWI. Vanderbilt has the fewest with only one in that span.

In between is Florida (17), Georgia (15), Arkansas (12), Ole Miss (11), Auburn and , Kentucky (nine each), Alabama (seven), LSU (six) and Mississippi State, South Carolina, Texas A&M and Tennessee (five each).

(Emphasis is mine)

Frankly, I was a little surprised. I didn't think it was that many. Three years is a long time in the world of college football, but nine? It's true, though. Here's the Kentucky list:

KENTUCKY (nine)

T.J. Jones, OT, Fr. (Jan. 4, 2013): carrying a gun on school property at Myrtle Beach High, on Kentucky roster.Dismissed by Stoops.
