How should Florida fans feel about Tim Tebow appearing in Ohio State marketing?

Is Tim Tebow's appearance on an Ohio State recruiting tweet fair or foul for the former Gators star under then-UF coach Urban Meyer?

Ahead of one of Ohio State's summer football camps, the Buckeyes' official Twitter account on Tuesday released pictures of Tim Tebow, a former Florida great, along with a quote with him praising Ohio State coach Urban Meyer.



What's not clear is whether Tebow signed off on the use of his image for the tweet. If he did, he willingly used his #brand to promote a competing school for recruiting purposes. If not, Ohio State just used a player who helped beat the Buckeyes in a national title game to promote itself, the legality of which is intriguing to say the least.

I'll take it just b/c of how frothing-at-the-mouth angry the Fowlers and Gatorubets will be over it.

Tim Tebow is serious about his professional sports rebirth as a baseball player and his representatives said the former NFL quarterback's workout for major league scouts won't be a sideshow.

Tebow has trained for the last several months in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Los Angeles at a sport he hasn't played regularly for more than a decade. Tebow has served an ESPN broadcaster since his three-season NFL career ended with the New York Jets at the conclusion of 2012 season.

"This may sound like a publicity stunt, but nothing could be further from the truth," Brodie Van Wagenen, co-head of CAA Baseball, said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports and other outlets. "I have seen Tim’s workouts and people inside and outside the industry – scouts, executives, players and fans – will be impressed by his talent. As an agent, I have a genuine respect for how hard it is to succeed at the game of baseball and a true admiration for those who possess the talent to play it at the Major League level. Tim's tool set is real."

Tebow will hold a workout where all 30 major league teams will be invited to observe within the next month, according to a person with knowledge of the session who is not authorized to speak publicly
