Just saw that we self reported two minor recruiting violations. Any idea what they were? I don't feel like this will end up being a problem, especially considering what Oregon just got away with.

looks to be no big deal

UT releases self-reported minor NCAA rules violations » GoVolsXtra

Days before National Signing Day in February, Tennessee football staff members hosting recruits at Calhoun’s on the River committed a secondary violation by making contact with an unnamed prospect, who had unexpectedly accompanied another recruit to the restaurant. Schools are limited to six off-campus contacts with a prospect; the restaurant bump was the seventh.

Coaches went through additional rules education, but UT said the mistake was inadvertent and no recruiting advantage was gained.

In March, a junior college prospect visited campus on an unofficial visit. Later, UT discovered that the prospect had not yet completed one full year at his school, meaning he was not allowed to participate in on-campus recruiting.

Tennessee said a mitigating factor was that the unnamed prospect visited several other schools, who were also apparently unaware of his status.

Well - if you read the article it tells you -

On was an accidental bump - a player on an official visit brought along an unofficial visitor and put us over the 6 limit

second was a JUCO player that was on official hadn't completed a full year at his current school and there for not eligible for an official visit.

neither are a big deal.

Secondary violations are usually nothing big if self reported. Shouldn't be a big deal.

I mean, the fact that the NCAA even has all these stupid rules is ridiculous anyway. There is no system of checks and balances for them, so they get to run amok making and enforcing all the rules they want. Some of these things like the "accidental bump" are so stupid and trivial and should never play into anything of circumstance. The NCAA just burns my grits. :mad: :finger3: :realmad:

These violations don't even sound like violations unless it is violation to have something happen by accident that you cannot control.

It's good that the university has enough dignity to police itself and report these violations on their own regardless of how minor they are. Things like that are what keep the NCAA from breathing down ur neck
