I mean, if UM really wanted to make sure that Tebow had a $21k in annuity income then Meyer would be better off putting about $600k of his own money in an indexed trust and then paying Tebow 4% from that each year. All it would take is a two-minute call to the accountant and 30 seconds to sign the paperwork. And it has the advantage of being a much easier path to $21k in Tebow's pocket than tanking the Jaguars organisation.

No, I'm afraid that you'll just have to accept that UM thinks that Tebow will either make the team or maybe do something else for the team that helps them win. The most obvious motive is the most likely: UM wants the Jags to perform and he thinks Tebow can help them do that.
