About the best thing ESPN has ever said about Tennessee... Saying the NCAA shouldn't punish UT, especially after Kiffey left. Love CFL.

Craig James is a d-bag, but I did like what he said. EA agreed. Let's hope the NCAA agrees.

If UT shouldn't be punished for Kiffin, then USC shouldn't be punished for Carrol.

Right?

Just said that if anything comes out of this investigation that UT shouldn't be punished at all for it, especially after Kiffin left. Kiffey & Co. should be punished

I seen it they said Tennessee should not get into trouble over the Bryce Brown stuff. People on here are something else. They always think ESPN is out to get Tennessee. I am a VOLS fan. When Tennessee starts doing some good things then they will talk good about the Vols. Boo Hoo ESPN didn't say something great about Tennessee.

I have an idea since coaches must take a test before they can recruit lets give him recruiting credentials if he passes. If a coach does something wrong and skips town to take another job pull his recruiting credentials instead of punishing the school he left holding the bag.

Said AA called Aurthur, they put them off until appeals proccess is over. BB will be @ KST, released or not. AA will be in LA to talk to Kiff +Co ab it, and that the AA better get real and punish the right party.

If a coach leaves after committing recruiting violations, the school is not punished? Is that a new rule?

How would they punish Kiffin and not USC? Kiffin is a complete douche bag but they can't punish USC for what he did at UT. Nothing major will come of this. At most UT gets probation and Kiffin has the NCAA crawl farther up his rear with a magnifying glass.

The tests are already in place. I agree that the punishment should also go to the coach. I wouldn't say the school is completely innocent in all cases. They should take it case by case. I think the guilty coach(es) should be BANNED from coaching 1-3 yrs.

did you miss chris fowler referring to us as in a "trailer park frenzy" over a decade ago and the 1000 subsequent digs since? i offer up andre ward just a couple days ago diggin on us saying, along with eric casilias, that not releasing k thopmkins from his scholarship would hurt us in recruiting, after he was ruled academically ineligble by ncaa anyway!

I think you would have a huge lawsuit if you didn't allow someone to work. Allow him to coach but take away his recruiting privileges. Doesn't make the coach a very attractive hire at that point.

I am a Vol through and through, but UT deserves EVERYTHING it gets from the NCAA. The punishment should NOT follow the coach. It was Mike Hamilton's JOB to bring in a coach who would do things the right way and not get us in trouble. Instead, Hamilton sat quietly in the background while Kiffin brazenly engaged in what he called at the time "minor violations." We'll see how minor they are now.

Sanctions like the ones USC got are not designed to punish a coach or fans. It's designed to slap the wrist of the school/institution so that they do a more upstanding job in the future of running their programs. You can blame Kiffin all you want, but I don't blame him. I blame Mike Hamilton.

UT self reporting those incidents shows that they tried to keep things legit. You can blame MH for certain things but putting all the blame on UT is asinine. If you think any organization can keep a 24/7 babysit watch on its coaches then you are as ignorant as they come. Its impossible to do. But not putting any punishment or deterrent on a coach is asking for coaches to freely screw over the university. Open your eyes

If the NCAA is ever going to change the corruption in recruiting they are going to have to make an example out of someone .
I keep thinking about when they gave SMU the "death penalty". Maybe it is time they give it to an individual . He certainly seems to be asking for the privilege to be the first.

Everybody needs to relax about the NCAA coming after UT. Most people in the know say that the NCAA is head hunting for Kiffin. There is a good chance that the point of this whole investigation is to make Pat Haden uncomfortable enough to go ahead and fire Kiffin. The NCAA isn't stupid...they know how to get things done directly and indirectly.

For the millions of dollars that these coaches and AD's get paid every year, yes I expect them to keep a watch over the ship. If Pete Carrol had not fled, do you think USC would have fired him and kept the AD? Hell no. It was the AD's hire. It was under the AD's watch. It was the atmosphere the AD not only allowed, but encouraged. Like it or not, that's just the way it goes.

Self reporting has NOTHING to do with taking responsibility for your actions. It has everything to do with the fact that it's almost impossible these days to get away with anything b/c EVERYONE is watching. It's always better with the NCAA to report a violation than have to answer to one reported by rival teams.

San Diego Vol, you should be more careful calling people out as trolls on this site. As the "Vol Nation Legal Advisor" (I'm an attorney in 3 states, and I have no clue what "legal advisor" means), I would think you would be more careful before you speak. Apparently you don't really care about the truth, it's just easier to blame Kiffin for all of our woes and call people a troll when you disagree. Classy. Very Classy.
