Maybe tenner is using Colorado as template for recruiting. I know these coaches are good recruiters but now we are finding out who the real lead recruiters are. This same thing brought colorado down and tenner may have really given the NCAA a reason to investigate. Would not surprise me if the same thing is going on at aubie, bammar, lsu.

The blog you support is just what it says, a blog.  No shred of credibility.  You might as well read the Tennessee message boards to get your info.  It is about as reliable about this topic.

At least the below link is a legit newspaper.

So what great wisdom do you deduce from the photo?  Maybe in your dreams or fantasy world.

I am not saying there is nothing to the story but blogs are not very reliable.  Especially when you do not know the agenda of the person behind them.  Beware of the Blog.

Where are the VOL posters to tell us that this is all part of the genius Lane Kiffin's plan to make sure everybody is talking about UT?  It is so funny to hear them spin on every screw up.

i will now reopen my recruitment and visit tenn.

I heard a caller on a Knoxville radio show this morning say exactly what you stated - that it's a good thing because it's bringing national attention to UT, no punishment will come from this, and the only people who are being negative are the UT haters.

He seems to be very good at it.  Makes a lot of folks look like idiots claiming he is screwing up then comes out smelling like a rose.  Kiffin pushes the envelope and Meyer gets to pay the check.  It would not surprise me if he came out of this in good shape and Spurrier gets hammered.

I think it's funny how some on here are acting all high and mighty. There's a saying about stones and glass houses...

[Happy Hogger]

No intent to be high and mighty, because I am sure all schools have issues that we would prefer go unnoticed, just love to hear your's and Realist's spin on these transgressions.

[The Realist]

I'm friends with one of the girls who is involved so I won't be saying much on it at all. 
All I will say is if the NCAA is going to start patrolling facebook for recruiting, they can have fun with that and the can of worms it will bring. 

[hogfan1111x]

any of you homers that don't think a football factory  like  the U of A isn't just as guilty as TN , you are  , well, a homer. Girls, grades, whatever... maybe not quite as blatant as say kenny stabler's new corvette back in his bama days.. but please.. get real.

I don't recall us having an escort service for our recruits. Got anything else?

We do.  They escort the recruits here and there on campus and at games.  You will typically see them with the recruits on the sideline.

There you go bringing facts into the discussion! How dare you! lol

are they hot?

[GBoling5000]

That's why Nutt's recruiting was so bad - he was using Theresa as one of the escorts.

Well I will guarantee you that you won't see our young ladies traveling off campus to bring signs begging the recruits to come to the Hill. I believe one of the major bone of contention is that the "Ambassadors" are in some cases traveling quite a ways to promote the school.

but thats not as bad as coaches/asst coaches what have  u asking for special help for the players in class now is it?

[songofthesword]

[MojaveJoe]

Yeah. They shouldn't leave campus - that being said I don't think Tenn is gonna get hit for this, its a small issue. There is no escorts/strippers hired like Colorado. I wish they would though...have two of their d recruits coming for a visit soon and it'd be nice to use sanctions against em.

I almost fainted when I saw that picture.  The blonde looks exactly like a girl I dated 35 years ago.  You talk about deja vue(sp).  Maybe it is her daughter.  I have to check on that.

They have to connect the dots.  In other words, someone on the football coaching staff has to be involved.  If the girls were on there own, it is a NCAA violation but would go against the university and not a specific program.  Not sure how that works.  My guess would be another secondary for the University and not specifically the football program.

It much to do about nothing in my book.
