Tennessee has had plenty of discipline problems and I can guarantee you there will be some in the future, its inevitable. Its always ok to give guys from your team a second chance but if they are from some other team they have to be kicked off the team immediately or the coach is not disciplining strong enough.

UT DID have problems. They deserve credit for correcting them. If I remember correctly, the suspensions handed out for Foster and the other two guys at the bar fight last year were for significant games.
Yes. Teams will have problems even under the best circumstances. My HS team years ago had some kids caught drinking that weren't handled very well.
The thing isn't that kids will get in trouble or that coaches/administrations won't make mistakes. The issue is whether there is an appearance to enforce good discipline or get by. The events listed suggest that UM isn't emphasizing strong discipline but rather suspends guys for games that they wouldn't have played a quarter in any way.
