Former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is facing serious fallout after reports tied him to a Christian organization accused of using predatory sales tactics.
Tebow was back in Denver for the Broncos’ home opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he planted the alumni flag before Denver’s 20-13 win. But the celebration quickly gave way to a much uglier story after he appeared on “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” with the reporting also drawing from the Associated Press, The Athletic, the Denver Post and other outlets.
According to Matt Moret of The Athletic, the Life Surge Christian group Tebow has been speaking for is accused of pressuring people into paying thousands of dollars for financial advice that didn’t deliver. The course reportedly cost upwards of $20,000, and The Athletic reported that people who couldn’t afford it were urged to borrow thousands from third-party lenders. Torre and Mother Jones also spoke with several people who said they saw little or no return on what they paid.
The allegations don’t stop there. Other sources said attendees were pushed hard into making major financial decisions, and one Life Surge staffer reportedly told them that “the devil” was behind their doubts. Life Surge has denied the accusations.
Tebow said he is taking the matter seriously and is “pausing” his relationships with Life Surge while his team conducts its own investigation. He also said he was “caught off guard” by the allegations.
Mother Jones reported that Tebow spoke at 20 Life Surge events in 2024 and 2025, and that he is on track to speak at another 20 this year.
The situation also lands awkwardly for the Broncos, who are in negotiations with multiple community groups to help fund their Burnham Yards stadium project. It’s unclear whether the backlash around Tebow and Life Surge will have any impact on that effort.

Oklahoma Is Gaining Real Ground With A Major In-State Target
Oklahoma has put itself squarely in the mix for one of the states most promising young prospects, as Owasso High School athlete Kamieon Compton-Nero has narrowed his list to five schools. The 2028 standout has already been on campus multiple times, a sign the Sooners have done more than just show early interest in a recruit who is being tracked by Power Four programs across the country.
For Oklahoma, the appeal is obvious. Compton-Nero is being recruited primarily as a safety, and his profile as a highly ranked four-star talent makes him the kind of in-state target the Sooners would love to keep close to home. With plenty of attention still coming from major programs, Oklahomas repeated visits and steady push have at least given it real ground in a recruitment that figures to stay competitive.

Oklahomas Quarterback Problem Feels Uncomfortably Familiar Again
John Mateers turnover issues have put Oklahoma back in a place it knows all too well under Brent Venables, with the offense again forcing an uncomfortable conversation about whether a quarterback change is coming. The Sooners have lived through this before, cycling through Michael Hawkins Jr., Jackson Arnold, Caleb Williams, Spencer Rattler and others in seasons where stability at the most important position never quite took hold.
What makes the current situation feel familiar is not just the decision itself, but the way it hangs over everything the team is trying to build. Oklahoma has seen midseason quarterback switches become part of the storyline before, and each time the move has brought its own ripple effect on performance and confidence. Mateers struggles have reopened that door, leaving the Sooners once again weighing whether to stay the course or reach for a familiar reset. [Read more 🡒]
Oklahomas Duke Brennan Still Leaves One Huge Frontcourt Question
Duke Brennan will stay on the floor for now, and that matters for an Oklahoma team still trying to sort out its frontcourt picture before the season gets rolling. A preliminary-injunction hearing on his eligibility was continued without a ruling, which means the temporary restraining order remains in place and keeps the center eligible to practice and take part in preseason scrimmages.
The next court date is set for October 20, with an October 13 oral argument in a related case also still ahead. For the Sooners, the short-term outcome is simple enough: Brennan can keep working with the team for at least a few more weeks, but the larger question around his status is still hanging out there.
