LoI Closure

Alright, BP has been slapped down (and I don't mean the multinational), and the football program is alright?

So, in a deep irony, Kiffin managed to lower the hammer on the basketball program? Will the self-imposed sanctions be enough to satisfy the NCAA?

Very disappointed in BP. It just puts an asterisk on everything he has accomplished.

Is the LoI closed now? Or do investigations continue?

How does it put a asterisk by what he has done on court. I bet most of the coaches in NCAA use the pat as you go phones. Pearl is the only one with enough mellons to fess up to it. Kentucky signs a player that got paid to play in Turkey last year (Katner) Seen where they got some shirts going around free Enes on it.

It's the fact that he lied. I (gulp) have to agree with Hat on this: if he comes clean it is probably a wrist slap.

Now it has mushroomed into a real dark cloud complete with a teary mea culpa. It just looks really, really bad. It casts a long shadow - like a dark cloud.

This may be true for you...not me. Bruce is the man, and the Vols will continue to rule.

I'm with you on this. He lied, he admitted it, get over it. Forgive and forget. I hope BP is the head BB coach at U.T. for as long as he wants to be.

The basketball program was being watched before Kiffin set foot in Knoxville.
