GAINESVILLE, Fla. — University of Florida men’s basketball coach Todd Golden is ready to move on, with any potential legal response to come after the season.
That might not happen until April for the fifth-ranked Gators.
In the meantime, Golden’s team is embarking on a daunting, two-week stretch that includes three road games against top-15 teams. It begins at No. 8 Tennessee on Saturday — and with Golden seemingly absolved from sexual misconduct accusations he acknowledged were challenging.
The university cleared Golden on Monday after a four-month investigation into allegations of sexual exploitation, sexual harassment and stalking. The school said no evidence was found and ended its investigation.
“Happy to put it behind us,” Golden said Thursday. “Moving forward, we’ll continue to have our full attention on our team and then the game on Saturday. Look forward to talking about basketball with you guys.”
