Welcome to the SEC, Lane Kiffin

You'd have to be a pretty big Vols fan to sleep with high school athletes just to get them to come to your school I'd guess.

 

BTW, I grew up and Knoxville and am a big Vols fan (although I never slept with a recruit), so I don't believe a word of this stuff anyway. Sounds like a witch hunt.

 

He played 11 walk-ons because of all the guys who got ran off, quit or got hurt and had no choice.

Does anyone care about this story if Phil Fulmer is still the coach at TN?

 

I see, he's really a choir boy and the 8,987 secondary violations uncovered to date are all a witch hunt and grand plot to destroy him because the rest of the SEC and world of college football are scared of the greatness that is going to be unleashed from Knoxville and its greatest coaching staff ever!!!!!

"Vols fanboys -- delusional and believing people are out to get them since Johnny Majors wuz robbed of the Heisman!!!!"

 

1) By 8,987... do you mean six? Cause that's the number.

2) You can't see how a story combining loud-mouthed Lane Kiffin, attractive coeds and blue-chip athletes might be seen as more newsworthy than one where Kiffin would be replaced by the much more moribund Phil Fulmer?

And I am far from a fanboy. Good try, though.

 

If the NCAA had something, they wouldn't rain down secondary violations. Of course they do that at most schools and I thought it was pretty laughable in the Times article that made them sound like a big deal.
They aren't. So, like, whatevers.
I suspect that the student going to watch a high school prospect, might be problematic, if the female student is actually affiliated with the school, but if she isn't currently or wasn't then, the NCAA could have trouble finding a violation.
College students, on a fairly regular basis, go watch high school prospects. If the NCAA really wants to crack down, they are going to find a mountain of problems for lots of schools.

 

Don't worry about Zag. When he's got nothing, he always goes to the namecalling.

 

Off campus recruiting is a major violation and if true would make the other six secondary violations material. Also, UT did not report this to the NCAA so that's another major problem for them. It is going to be interesting to see how this gets resolved - AD & Kiffin can say that they were not aware of these activities but that raises the institutional control issues.

 

The University of Tennessee — cum for the hostesses, stay for the football!

 

I see what you did there, and as easy and juvenile a pun as it was, I still like it.

 

Are you saying the pun was as easy as a Tennessee hostess?

 

I love that the whole issue of comely lasses encouraging kids to matriculate at their school is not anything the NCAA wants to deal with -- it's just when to drive to a high school to flaunt their love of Rocky Top that the NCAA gets involved.
