GAINESVILLE — "After spending the past year using his ever-increasing fame to spread his faith and message of hope from state prisons to Croatia and the Philippines, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow felt compelled to do more.
So UF athletic officials, in conjunction with Tebow and his family, asked the NCAA to examine one simple question: Exactly how much more could the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback do to help people without jeopardizing his eligibility?
The answer wasn't easy to define. But based on Tebow's previous philanthropic efforts, the NCAA agreed to work with UF to define his ability to participate in charitable events.
After nearly six months of discussions and rules interpretations between the University Athletic Association, the SEC and the NCAA, in an unprecedented move, Tebow was allowed to participate in a week of fundraising activities in conjunction with Saturday's Orange and Blue game."
