I really don't even judge Cam for cheating; college athletics are a farce and no one should expect athletes of that caliber to study all day. The whole drat thing is a joke.

If he stole the laptop then that was pretty poo poo.

The way in which he cheated is the more worrying thing. Like, how could you do that and not expect to get caught...

Definitely agree

Remember when UF was going to cut a million dollars and eliminate their computer science department and the football program coincidentally had their budget increased by a million?

Good times.

Probably was setup for him by the school/team/hangers on and once they wanted to be rid of him, that was a convenient axe.

Or he cheated, I dunno.

I'm just going to go out on a limb and say Cam would not have been kicked out of Florida for cheating.

FWIW the way I heard this story was Urban wanted Cam to basically redshirt in 2009 so that for one reason or another he'd play in both 2010 and 2011, and the laptop incident was his opportunity. Cam thought that was bullshit, especially considering what was going on with the team around him which everyone knew about. His father also thought it was completely disrespectful (and maybe saw an opportunity to make a little cash on the side) so he got him out. Also he was thinking of declaring after 2009 anyway because someone got in his ear and told him he'd be a first round pick, which who knows.

Then Urban Meyer realized he didn't have a QB on the roster, faked an "existential life crisis," and fled to a lesser conference where he gets to play 9 home games a year.

He has never played more than 8 games at home a year. He's played 7 the last two years.

Yeah, the point of the story is urban wanted him there longer and was willing to hold him to a standard the other rapists and murderers weren't held to, which I don't doubt.

But releasing those cheating stories was petty and sec as poo poo.

It was known for a long time that Urban had a double standard. SI wrote a long form on him last year that revealed how big a piece of poo poo the guy was, it's crazy. The cheating thing was widely known at UF when it happened, in fact it was even reported in the local media, it just didn't come to light until later, when everyone was digging for shut like they do with every draft pick. It wasn't some hatchet job by UF like you make it seem.

Keeping hockey players off campus does wonders for reducing the spread of STD's. You have no idea what that Canadian accent, politeness, and shredded obliques does to the womenfolk.

I lived with the hockey team and it was essentially the movie version of college. "Hey, who has this girl hooked up with?" "Oh, him and him. Pass." Good times.
