re: Why do the majority say Florida football started under Spurrier…

However, among the reasons Spurrier left Florida was because of his dispute with the UF admin........he was upset that UF would not permit him to cut some corners in recruiting that he felt some other programs were getting away with (hooray for the UF admin). I know this is true from several sources within the UF department at the time. In fact, one of your most "favorite" writers (I use that word in a sarcastic way) at an Orlando paper who 's a UF alumnus relayed this info to certain other members of the media (moi).

I don't believe a word of this. I'm old enough to remember when and why he left. He was sick of the bull gators but to think they wouldn't let him cheat but a couple years later they hired Meyer. So they cheated through the 80s, wouldn't cheat with Spurrier but let Meyer bring in the worst people on one team we've ever seen.
