It was only a matter of time...
The University of Tennessee is, clearly, competing with Auburn for laughing-stock status in the lands of SEC football.
We have another minor, secondary, violation from the mouth of Lane Kiffin...
Lane Kiffin, in a radio interview Friday morning, mentioned recruit Bryce Brown by name and called him "a great player." According to The Knoxville News Sentinel, NCAA rules prohibit a coach from making such comments before the prospect has signed a letter of intent.
Drew Edwards from the News-Sentinel has the full quote:
“Once very talented players do things, it becomes the cool thing to do and so the next guy does it and more and more guys do it,” Kiffin said on The Sports Page. “I think what’s going to happen is you’re going to see ... great players like Bryce Brown are doing it now. So now it’s going to be more next year and then more and more.”
Nicely done, Lane...
Here's the interview with Dave Hooker in its entirety...
Earlier this week, the school reported violations for a mock news conference held by nine prospects during an official visit to the university, and for using a fog machine as a recruit entered the field at Neyland Stadium.
Additionally, Kiffin was reprimanded last week by Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive for falsely accusing Florida's Urban Meyer of a recruiting violation.
Was Paul Finebaum correct after all...?
Those of us at OSG HQ shudder at the thought...
