After meeting with UF officials, the NCAA did not find any rules violations through Tuesday night in the recruiting of junior college signee wide receiver Carl Moore and his girlfriend, UF gymnast Maranda Smith.
"Allegations about impermissible telephone calls by the football staff have been reviewed by the NCAA and University, and at this time, the information does not indicate any violations of NCAA rules occurred," UF assistant athletics director Steve McClain said.
McClain would not elaborate on the situation or any other investigations into possible minor violations, which are normal occurrences in college football.
NCAA representatives could not be reached for comment.
In January, UF's athletics compliance office began investigating possible recruiting violations in the form of improper phone calls by Coach Urban Meyer.
The publicized instances included Meyer calling Smith during Moore's recruitment late last year.
Questions surfaced whether Meyer violated NCAA rules pertaining to coaches recruiting athletes in multiple sports by talking to Smith, who was being recruited by and eventually signed with UF's gymnastics team.
Smith's comments that she had regular contact with Meyer stoked the fire, but she later recanted.
"We never had real phone conversations," she said on Jan. 23. "I never even had a conversation with him. I mean, he sounds like a nice guy saying 'hi' and 'bye,' but that's all I really know."
Another issue was a phone conversation between UF quarterback Tim Tebow and Moore the night of the Heisman Trophy presentation.
According to a Sacramento Bee report, Meyer handed Tebow a phone with Moore listening on the other end.
"Carl! I just won the Heisman! Come on down here, and let's win a national championship!" Tebow reportedly said to Moore.
An NCAA rule stipulates that student-athletes cannot participate in phone calls to recruits at the direction of coaches.
