During the Auburn Arkansas game on Saturday they made a statement regarding
Cam's transfer, basically saying he decided to transfer after Tebow
announced he was coming back for his senior year.  That didn't sound right
to me, primarily because it isn't true.
 
Cam was arrested 11/21/08 for throwing the Heisman out the window, he
announced on 1/05/09 that he was transferring to Blinn CC, Tebow announced
he was coming back at the NC celebration on 1/12/09.  So a full week before
Tebow announces, somehow Cam already knew...  At the time remember, Cam was
suspended from the team and Tebow was in Miami for bowl prep.  Cam
transferred for the simple reason that he had been suspended from the team
for comitting a criminal act, he had the opportunity to rejoin the team but
took the option to transfer so he could playing time, not because Meyer
kicked him off the team.  He had the same opportunity to rejoin the team as
Chris Rainey, bu we keep hearing about the double standard of Meyer.
 
I wish Cam all the best in the world, but the adoration that is being piled
on him while casually dismissing the 'incident' is just wrong. UF still gets
raked over the coals for having 30 arrests - guess what Cam was one of
those, so why doesn't his arrest transfer with him???
 
Also, Cam is the QB he is today because he transferred.  The year as a
starter in CC was what he needed, he wouldn't have gotten the reps as the
backup or 3rd string that he got as the starter at Blinn.  That is what made
him the better QB today.
