How much do you think you'd be worth if you were a winner of two national championships, a Heisman Trophy and the adoration of an unstoppable force of Florida Gator fans? Apparently, you would be worth about $2 million dollars.

The quarterback for the Gators, Tim Tebow, recently disclosed during SEC Media Days this past Thursday that he has taken out roughly $2,000,000 dollars worth of insurance policies, according to Florida Today.

This senior quarterback spoke to Florida Today, telling them that he had not even considered buying so much insurance until the head coach for his team, Urban Meyer decided to intervene.

Tebow asked Florida Today how many times anyone really takes advantage of the insurance. He says that he may have it, but only because Urban Meyer, his coach for the Gators told him that he needed to get it. He claimed that he did not want to get any more insurance.

The policies that Tebow has taken out on himself are designed to cover injuries, which is a practice that is allowed under the regulations for the NCAA. Typically the premiums on these policies are not actually paid until after the player signs an NFL contract.

This year, Tebow decline to actually raise the amount of his policy. According to Florida Today, however, he could have actually qualified for as much as $6,000,000 if he had purchased the insurance policy through an independent insurance agent.

He told reporters that he isn't thinking negatively, waiting for something to happen. But instead, he says that he was just acting on the advice of coach Urban Meyer and coach Dan Mullen that thought it should be purchased.

Insurance policies for this purpose are available both through the NCAA and also through independent agencies as well.

Steve Spurrier recently confirmed upon appearing at the SEC media days that he was in fact the person that snubbed the Florida Gators player Tim Tebow during the coach's voting for the preseason All-SEC player team.

Ole Mississippi football coach, Houston Nutt, says that he voted for Tebow as All-SEC. He also talked about what made quarterback Jevan Snead so great, and the pressure on for Old Miss to really step up and compete for a championship in the conference.

But it was because of a complete oversight, according to the South Carolina coach, who addressed the matter immediately during a new conference. Spurrier went on to explain that the director of football operations filled the ballot out and then brought it into him. He said that he just glanced at it, signing off on it, and did not realize the mistake that had been made until later.

The ballot that was submitted to the SEC on the behalf of South Carolina had listed Mississippi's Snead as the first team quarterback, rather than Tebow. Spurrier is taking full responsibility, and is putting emphasis on his belief that Tebow was one of the best quarterbacks in all of Florida history. He claims to be embarrassed about it, feeling badly that it happened, and he has apologized to Tebow.

The SEC associate-commissioner, Charles Bloom, has confirmed to ESPN.com that Spurrier made a call within the last 24 hours asking how his ballot could be changed in order to list Tebow as the quarterback for the first time. Spurrier told Charles Bloom that his initial ballot was a mistake when it listed Snead as the quarterback for the first team.

Each of the other coaches has confirmed on record that Tebow was voted for. Coaches could not vote for their own players, meaning that a unanimous vote would constitute 11 out of the 12 votes. The only unanimous selection for the preseason team were offensive tackle Ciron Black from LSU, safety Eric Berry from Tennessee and receiver Julio Jones from Alabama.
