Tennessee under NCAA investigation over use of recruiting hostesses

1. Lots of schools have hostesses. If that's who these girls were, they were part of a group organized and probably selected by the university. They likely would have been selected by the university, because by all accounts they were attractive...they weren't ugly, homely, or overweight. So the notion that these were "just students" doesn't make sense. Representatives of the university? Absolutely.

2. Is there anything wrong with a college student driving 200 miles to a HS football game that did not involve the HS he or she attended? Of course not. How many would? I sure wouldn't have.

3. We're not just talking about a 200 mile trip to a HS game. Players in Pahokee and Miami were interviewed by the NCAA. Now we're talking about at least hotel and meal expenses, and possibly air travel.

4. Who else may have been on the trip? Having been through that part of the state, I find it hard to believe that some single college girls went to Pahokee, Florida, unescorted. Go back and re-read the recent SI article on Pahokee. Pretty high crime rate. If Pahokee was one of the places visited, you can bet there were other individuals present also.

So IF the report is true (and I don't know that it is), let's look at exactly what we have here. An official, organized athletic support group of the university, under direction and supervision by university officials (notice I didn't necessarily say football), likely traveling at university expense, to recruit football players outside the rules of the NCAA. If that's what we have here, and that is what it is if the story is true, Tennessee has something to be worried about.

If this becomes a serious problem, I think the guy to take a hard look at is Orgeron. He is the recruiting coordinator, and I don't think anyone who was watching Ole Miss's recruiting under him would be surprised to see his name linked to something like this.

Same here. Reputation is a precious thing. I know the article doesn't flat out say what the girls are doing, but people read between the lines and draw thier own conclusions. The NYT had better have some kind of evidence outside of heresay that these things are happening, because as a female myself, if I were one of these girls I would be PISSED.

Defamation of character is serious business when it comes to law suits.

Not at all... I've actually been to a Hooters restaurant a few times anyway, but the insinuation that a pretty girl can't be anything other that a prostitute if she capitalizes on her good looks is patently absurd.

You're the one who is dreaming up this insinuation of hooters girls being prostitutes. No one here has done, or said anything that you're trying to put off on people. You sir, are the one who is doing it.

Get your mind out of the gutter, and stop talking all this dribble.

UPDATE: Miss Earps and the other hostesses are actually in the Tennessee Football Media Guide. She's a captain in Orange Pride, "a group of students whose primary duty is to promote the University and its strong academic programs, rich traditions, and winning athletics program to campus visitors and potential student-athletes."

A guy on the radio from the Byrnes HS area in SC just said that the Byrnes HS coach is the one who called the NCAA after Latt informed coach Bentley (Byrnes HS coach) that there were UT hostesses in a motel room with other Byrnes players (who were UT commits). Furthermore, the room and the alcohol involved was charged to Kiffen's credit card.

Just passing along what I heard on the local Knoxville radio.

Wow, that would be too good to be true.

I dont think it will amount to anything. This has been going on for a long time. And we are not the only University to do it, but we shall see.

I think that's where the confusion is, the credit card was Layne Kiffen's.

Look man, I wasn't trying to be funny or a smarta**. What I posted really did happen last night. No, I will admit, I have not searched for it again today because I felt no need to. All I was doing is telling you what happened to me but I won't make that mistake again.
Sorry.

I really hope this is just some BS story because if its not, UT will be doing everything it can to not get the "death penalty"

everything in the post other than "i was just sent this via email" is what the email said, I copied and pasted for accuracy. Sorry for not proof reading what I was sent.

BTW, the same guy sent me this shortly before sending me the story on kiff, "Told the team today that Notre Dame has requested permission to speak with me and that I owe it to myself to at least listen."-Saban
