And he got Percy Harvin's girlfriend a gymnastic scholarship before he moved down to G.ville. Fail. At least know what you're talking about before making an accusation.

OK, minor detail, Moore not Harvin. I'm so sorry, but I had other things to do first. This from "Bleacher Report, July '08..."Florida

Look for QB Tim Tebow to repeat as the Heisman winner and win his second BCS National Championship. Tebow is not only a threat through the air, but will beat you on the ground as well....
It also helps to have USC transfer RB Emmanuel Moody in the backfield to take some pressure off Tebow and let him pound out his 1,000-yard season.

The Gators have very talented receivers, led by 2007 first team All-SEC selection Percy Harvin and JUCO transfer Carl Moore from Sierra College in Rocklin, CA, who was rated the top JUCO WR prospect in the nation. Meyer got Moore to go to Florida by also offering his girlfriend a gymnastics scholarship".

"This Gator in hot water?
Everyone who follows college football knows the impact former Utah coach Urban Meyer has made at Florida, turning the Gators into a national caliber, and national championship team, after several years of unsatisfactory results. Now he apparently is making an impact on its gymnastics program too, and apparently some NCAA violations if the story is correct.

In short, Meyer was recruiting junior college receiver Carl Moore, who attended Sierra Community College in Placerville, Calif., along with his girlfriend, Maranda Smith. Smith had competed for UCLA's gymnastics team in 2006, but quit after an injury.

Once Meyer realized he wasn't going to sign Moore without Smith attending Florida as well, he contacted Florida gymnastics coach Rhonda Faehn for help. She just happened to have a scholarship available. The couple are now Gators, with Smith scoring a 9.775 on the uneven bars in exhibition Friday.
Sounds shady, doesn't it? It might just be.
In the story, Smith relates how she talked to Meyer "every day" in November and how he wanted her to attend Florida and compete in gymnastics.

First of all, as a football coach, Meyer cannot recruit for another sport. By contacting Smith, he broke the rule that all phone calls must be made by a head coach or one or more assistant coaches who count toward the limits of coaches who can recruit in a sport, which is three in gymnastics. Also, since he was effectively acting as a gymnastics coach, he broke the rule that in gymnastics coaches are allowed to contact recruits only once a week.

It'll be interesting to see if this article brings any sort of punishment for Meyer and the Florida program. He has been known to stretch rules and recruiting ethics before, with numerous reports of how he still heavily recruited athletes after they'd given other schools oral commitments. I wonder how this is going to play out with the NCAA?"
