Is Urban Meyer Sabotaging The Florida Gators?

((ht: orlandosentinel.com))

So Florida Gator fans, you still loving on former head coach Urban Meyer?

We ask this in light of a report that Meyer...or an assistant coach reported the Gators had a "Secondary" NCAA violation over a high school running back from New York named Curtis Samuel. Samuel was also being recruited by the Buckeyes.

As the story goes, the NCAA allegedly investigated, found nothing wrong with the contact, but Samuel summarily dropped Florida from his list of potential schools.

Hmmmm....

For what it's worth, Meyer claims it was not-true that he turned the Gators in, but that an assistant did it.  Which raises the obvious question...would a college assistant coach do something like that without informing his boss.

Yeah.

Anyway, read the story with the allegations from the Orlando Sentinel RIGHT HERE

Yes, we find this amusing.

And according to the Sentinel's Mike Bianchi, this isn't the first time its happened. Maybe its just us, and we aren't exactly Gator fans, but it makes us laugh to know most Florida fans hold Meyer in such high regard. And that he speaks, at least publicly, in reverential terms about his former employer.

But it appears that he'll do whatever he deems necessary when it comes to recruiting, or for that matter anything else to win. We can't totally fault him for that, but if that's what you want to be, at least own it, don't try coming across as "The Good Guy".

And no, we won't wade into the Hernandez part of the story.
