The UT probe update

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

The controversy of University of Tennessee coach Lane Kiffie’s recruiting tactics have been swirling around for sometime. Now however the controversy seems to be reaching a breaking point. Apparently New allegations are surfacing about what the UT coach might have said to  potential recruits.

This is the second time in less than a year that UT’s coach has been in the NCAA’s line of fire and both times it was over the same thing. The first time Ut was accused of sending personal who are not allowed to recruit to high school games to scout players. According to Kiffie, the accusations had no backing to them. Now though they are looking more and more real as the same issue resurfaces again.

Also, Kiffie won’t be getting off completely clean. The NCAA have already linked him to 6 other minor violations that the probe proved he was involved in. So for right now, UT’s coach better step lightly for now on if he doesn’t want the NCAA hammer coming down on him.

UT NCAA Investigation

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

The NCAA is doing a thorough investigation dealing with the University of Tennessee’s football team and their methods of recruitment. The hostesses of the school are said to be “luring recruits”, which violates the NCAA’s rules of conduct. One recruit stated that the hostesses were nice and that “you don’t want to go to a school where they ain’t pretty.

The NCAA is scheduled to talk with more recruits and figure out the practiced methods of recruitment.
