Statement from Tennessee regarding NCAA investigation

in Tennessee Vols Football

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The University of Tennessee confirms that there is an NCAA review under way. University Administration and Athletics are cooperating fully.

We are concerned about the alleged activities of some members of the Orange Pride. Both university and NCAA guidelines are a part of the Orange Pride’s orientation and training. If those guidelines were violated, we will take appropriate action. Because of federal student privacy regulations, we can’t comment further.

Orange Pride is one of three student admissions groups that serve as ambassadors for the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Orange Pride’s responsibilities include staffing university-wide admissions programs, providing campus tours, and hosting prospective athletes and their families. There are 75 students, both men and women, in the group. These ambassadors interact with hundreds of students across the campus.

Who cares if the girls did a little harmless flirting with some highschool kids? It’s not like they were giving them cars or houses like some of the other schools do. Tennessee can’t compete with areas like Flordia and California when it comes to location, so why not display what we do have…Beautiful Women!

It seems as though our competition has came up with another story to cast a little gloom on our Vols. Is it just a recuiting ploy or are we (the Vols) really doing things that no other school in the Sec, or the NCAA, do or have done in the past? I don’t think so! CLK has made such a big splash so quickly that our competition has become a bit paranoid it seems. This is coming right at the crucial point of early enrollment. I just hope these players that are making their decsion don’t fall for this and are smart enough to see it for what it is!
GO VOLS!!!
