For the first time in Tim Tebow‘s career, his name Is being cast in a negative light. Newspapers, radio stations and websites on the internet are all talking about a possible recruiting scandal involving Coach Meyer and Tim Tebow.
Rumor has it that shortly after winning the Heisman Trohpy, Coach Meyer gave a cell phone to Timmy with recruit Carl Moore on the other line. Tebow allegedly said “I just won the Heisman. Now come on down to Florida and win a national championship with me.” Carl Moore is an outstanding junior college wide receiver from California. Every school in the nation wanted him.
Some of you may wonder what the problem is. Can’t Tim talk to someone on the phone? Well, surprising the answer is no. Players are not allowed to recruit other players, as stupid as that sounds. It gives and unfair advantage to schools that do have not superstars. Of course everything you’re reading is just allegations. There is no proof that Tebow actually talked to Moore that night on the phone.
UF is currently conducting an internal investigation. But really if they find anything there likely won’t be any repercussions. Nothing would happen to Tebow at all.
I’ll be sure to keep everyone posted as the story develops.
“A December report in the Sacramento Bee indicates that Moore spoke with Tebow on the telephone the night the UF quarterback won the Heisman Trophy in New York. The report states Moore was at his family’s residence in California when he received the call.
“Carl!” Tebow yelled into the phone, according to the report. “I just won the Heisman! Come on down here (to Florida), and let’s win a national championship.”
The article states that the call was placed by Coach Urban Meyer, who then handed the phone to Tebow. Such a move would violate a portion of NCAA Bylaw 13, which states that college athletes cannot speak to recruits by telephone when directed to by their coaches.
If Tebow placed the call, or Moore phoned Tebow, or Moore phoned Meyer and asked to speak with Tebow, the call likely would be legal.”
