What would Tim Tebow do? Not be connected to minor league baseball promotion, says school

Minor league team sacks Tebow promotion night

FORT MYERS, Fla. — A minor league baseball team has changed a Tim Tebow promotion after receiving a cease and desist e-mail from the University of Florida.

Fort Myers Miracle fans expected “What Would Tim Tebow Do?” night Wednesday, but the theme was changed to “What Would T.T. Do?”

The Naples Daily News reported that senior associate athletic director Jamie McCloskey told the team NCAA rules prohibit the names or pictures of its athletes in commercial promotions.

A ceremonial jump-pass started Wednesday’s game against the St. Lucie Mets. Fans received promise rings and watched a character called “T.T.” try to walk on water.

Tebow has led Florida to two national titles and is known for his charitable work.
