NCAA to punish Tennessee, Kiffin

NCAA to Smack Tennessee, Lane Kiffin -- NCAAFB FanHouse

The NCAA will cite the University of Tennessee's football program with a failure to monitor a violation stemming from the short tenure of former head coach Lane Kiffin, multiple sources close to the investigation both inside and outside the university told FanHouse.

The violation is related to improper recruiting contacts by Vol coaches and by Vol hostesses in the since-disbanded Orange Pride program. What's more, in a stunning development that reaches across the country and implicates another of the nation's most-storied programs, the NCAA will also cite Kiffin, now at USC, with a failure to monitor charge as well as additional citations against Kiffin's brother-in-law, David Reaves, formerly an assistant quarterbacks coach at Tennessee.

Reaves, who was not hired as part of Kiffin's USC staff, is currently a New Mexico assistant in charge of quarterbacks and the passing game.

All of these charges stem from the coaches' tumultuous one-year reign in Knoxville and involve improper contact with recruits. While the university's Orange Pride program -- a group that was disbanded in 2010 in the wake of the NCAA investigation into its activities -- has received most of the media attention, the NCAA's investigation into improper contacts was much more wide- ranging and includes alleged violations that do not implicate the hostess program at all.

Saw this earlier. Kinda makes me hate Kiffen even more, and think the NCAA is a joke on a power trip. In fairness, Kiffen and co. probably should be punished if they knew anything about hostessgate.

As for punishment toward UT, why should the NCAA punish Tennessee at all? I mean they let Cam play in the NC game, said there was no problem with his $180K recruitment, and are looking to nail Pearl to the wall over hotdogs, and the football program to the wall over pretty girls. With $180K you could buy a lot of hotdogs and pretty girls.
