NCAA finds no violations in recruitment of Moore

GAINESVILLE - After reviewing information gathered during an in-house investigation, the NCAA has not found any violations at the University of Florida in the recruitment of  junior college transfer receiver Carl Moore and gymnast Maranda Smith.

Florida athletic officials met with NCAA representatives Tuesday to review an in-house inquiry that began last month after potential minor allegations about telephone calls during the recruitment of Moore were brought to the university's attention.

"Allegations about impermissible telephone calls by the football staff have been reviewed by the NCAA and University, and at this time, the information does not indicate any violations of NCAA rules occurred,'' said Steve McClain, UF's assistant athletics director for sports information.

Among the issues under review was whether Meyer committed an NCAA violation by telephoning Smith, Moore's girlfriend, during his recruitment, whether the Gator coaching staff contacted Moore in excess of the time allowed by the NCAA, and whether Meyer violated rules when he allowed quarterback Tim Tebow to talk to Moore following the Dec. 7 Heisman ceremony.

Of course not, UF never gets penalized. When the players get arrested the charges always get dropped and when the coach cheats they let him off too. No accoutability in G ville. Sad.

Here we go.

It's true, Gators always get let off. G ville is a joke.
