NCAA charges Vols hoops, football with violations; Pearl, Kiffin cited

[madinmaryland]

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The NCAA says both Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl and former football coach Lane Kiffin committed recruiting violations and failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance of NCAA rules within their programs.

Following its 22-month investigation of the athletic program, the NCAA notified Tennessee of a dozen rules violations by the coaches, their assistants and the university itself in a letter released by the school on Wednesday. Kiffin, who is now at Southern California, received a separate notice of the allegations against him.

Tennessee's baseball program was included in the investigation, but was not accused of any violations.

The university has until May 21 to respond to the NCAA's allegations and is expected to appear at a June 10-11 meeting of the Committee on Infractions. A final decision by the NCAA and any sanctions likely would come several weeks after that.

Hmmm. I thought there was something fishy about Kiffin going to Tennessee. Some people here didn't think so!

1. Is this another violation for Pearl

Or are they talking about that cookout he had that he was serving a suspension for? It looks like more from the article.

4. Both of these fuckers have been cheating since Jesus graduated from Nazareth HS.

What do you expect them to do? Give it up for Lent?

5. I believe all of this is the same shit the Vols self reported

on.
Lane Kiffin, is a POS. For a rival I sort of like Pearl. He has been punished hard by UT but still has a job. Fuck it let Pearl cheat then maybe they will be worth a shit again. We will beat his ass anyway.
USC, when you sleep with dogs you wake up with fleas. Not the dog though, he'll just move on.
