Urban Meyer denies Notre Dame rumors to paper

As quickly as Steve Spurrier can stoke a rumor, Urban Meyer can squash it.

Spurrier mentioned the rumor of Meyer leaving Florida for Notre Dame on Paul Finebaum’s radio show earlier in the week.

On Friday, Meyer emphatically denied that rumor to the Gainesville Sun Friday.

“I didn’t know what [Spurrier] was getting at,” Meyer said. “Here’s a quote for you - I am not going to Notre Dame. There’s gotta be something else going on in sports. Isn’t there car racing going on?”

Spurrier told the paper that he called Meyer to explain his statement.
