Vol football players involved in barroom brawl

[O-town Gator]

KNOXVILLE — "The co-owner of a nightclub near the University of Tennessee campus said “seven to 10” Volunteers football players were involved in a fight early Friday morning at the establishment.

Knoxville Police Department officials were on scene at the incident, but none offered comment on the situation — including whether any arrests were made.

UT spokespeople were gathering information on the incident and also weren’t ready to comment."

According to a blogger at the AJC, the NCAA may want to know about the no-cover-charge extended to UcheaT athletes at that Knoxville bar where the fight took place since that's in violation of the rules: http://blogs.ajc.com/recruiting/2010/07/09/darick-rogers-arrested-in-melee-involving-police-several-tennessee-players/

Kiffin has has done more harm than good for the vol program. Their coach has a lot of work to do,he will have to add by subtraction. jmo

A friend of mine spent last year playing football at a D2 school in Tennessee. He told me a story about going to a club in Knoxville with some ball players from his school, a lot of them played in HS with UT players. I guess all the UT players would just get into the club, no questions asked and be treated like gods. Free alcohol and everything, and a lot of them were under 21. Rumor is that Eric Berry would roll up to the club in a different car each week.

You are correct.

Here was Lame's strategy. He found a good FOOBALL PLAYER and he talked them into coming to UT. He didn't care what their background was, what kind of grades they made, or whether they knew how lucky they were to get a college scholarship!!! That infuriates me to no end.
