1) The incidents in Boulder a few years ago are still too new to just look past this.
2) Lane Kiffin already has 6 secondary violations in less than a year on the job
3) When the NCAA starts snooping around, they tend to find more than they were looking for originally

Im not quite sure this is just going to blow over. Im not saying its going to get crazy on the Hill but its not going to get swept under the rug.

You said blow.

and rug

i searched and searched and this is the only reason UT should get into trouble for giving a "hostess" to recruits

An excerpt:

Quote:N.C.A.A. Scrutiny Seen on Tennessee’s Recruiting

Marcus Lattimore, a running back who made an unofficial visit to Tennessee but said he would not enroll there, said multiple Tennessee hostesses attended a game at James F. Byrnes High School in Duncan, S.C., in September. He said they brought signs, including one that read, “Come to Tennessee.”

“I haven’t seen no other schools do that,” he said. “It’s crazy.”

The hostesses are considered representatives of the university, which would mean they could not recruit players off campus. Therefore, the visits may be considered violations of N.C.A.A. recruiting rules.

Two of Lattimore’s teammates, Brandon Willis and Corey Miller, have orally committed to Tennessee. Lattimore described the hostesses as “real pretty, real nice and just real cool.” He said he thought they had “a lot” of influence in Miller’s and Willis’s commitments to Tennessee.

Because of their influence on recruits, the recruiting hostesses have become popular with Tennessee fans. Bryce Brown, the country’s top running back recruit last year, who is a freshman at Tennessee, was pictured on a social networking site last year with a hostess. Other Tennessee hostesses have publicly conversed with prospects through Facebook and MySpace.

Some recruits say their influence is significant.

“You don’t want to go to a college where they ain’t pretty,” Lattimore said.

...and another...

Quote:Kiffin’s numerous secondary N.C.A.A. violations could be a factor or might have prompted the investigation.

“Secondaries mean something to the N.C.A.A.,” Evrard said in a telephone interview. “It’s very telling if an institution continues to report secondaries particularly if they’re in the same category. If you keep doing the same thing over and over and keep reporting it, that would trigger the N.C.A.A.’s enforcement staff to possibly go in and look at some of that activity.”

Signs at games are the least of the problems. There has been "contact" and that has been going on since the 60's. Kiffin is a slowleak and eventually the NCAA will have to look. They can't ignore the continued pattern of rules being broken.

they use mostly hostesses...they have about 20 for the football team.....



and 82 for women's basketball...

Just sayin, if Summit were a dinosaur, it would be a lickalotapuss...

I always knew the lady vols were diving for something more than just loose balls!

true story...I went to UTK my first year out of high school back in 02-03. This one time I gave a buddy of mine, who was on the football team, a ride home along with 2 of his football buddies and a smokin hot blonde chick (pretty sure she was a "hostess") back to M-Town from K-Ville. Not gonna go into detail, but let's just say she more than compensated for the gas money!

Now, THAT'S what I'd call a Hostess cupcake!!!!

I'm ready to make a prediction.......

Drum roll please.......

Lane Kiffin will get fired from UTK. Not this week or anything. The man just shows a total lack of self control.

Only an idiot would think that a NCAA investigation is a compliment. His mouth is the glaring reminder of his ignorance, but his reckless behavior will eventually catch up to him. Passing the test doesn't mean he's going to follow the rules.

This man is a sad excuse for a state employee.

Isn't that typical of their fanbase?
