The Vol Nation collectively helped his sick father with his bills and son Salter pays us back with actions like this?

Wonder what his father is saying to him?

My gosh. It's not even July yet and he's done enough bad to get tossed.

Wonder how he's going to market his image now?

How about selling airline tickets from Tennessee to Texas. :)

Note - It has never ceased to amaze me how a player could be released from a school for unacceptable behaviour and yet have a group of other schools chasing and clamoring over him.

He doesn’t owe you a thing and if you gave money to his dad only hoping that he’d win us a football, you’re a sick person and deserve disappointment.

Well when weed causes one to lose sight of the ultimate goal then yes weed is a problem. It's harmless when used occasionally or recreationally. I assure you only 1 person in the family does it and it's not the mom, dad, sisters, nor younger brother. Hell the mom doesn't even drink. So the actions shown in Knoxville don't start at home. It isn't condoned. We are extremely disappointed in how things transpired and more so after the support given to Ken during his lengthy hospital stay. Hopefully this is a wake up call but with the amount of interest already shown it may not be as big of one as we would like.

Hate it for the kid with all the issues with his dad. But good Lord, you just threw away a prime opportunity in life, for something so stupid. I hope he learns from this

He was given a chance to learn and it only took a week for him to mess up. Seems like he comes from a place were the coaches overlooked a lot just to win games.

Sorry it did not work out for him here. I hope his parents can use the experience to push a change in behavior.

Care to give us any insight into who has already shown interest?

Even if weed was legal, he still is underage and he still is coming off being reinstated. He should have been on best behavior after the reinistallation. It shows a bad character flaw, one that hopefully gets sorted out for his sake.

I wish him the best and hope he learns from this and has a successful life.

Guy is an idiot 2x over. And to think, these actions r how he chose to repay Vol fans, after the love , support and money they gave his family, for his Dad. Glad whomever made the decision, told him to GTFO!!!

Exactly. Even if it's legal in your state...doesn't mean an employer or organization will allow a member to partake.

I really don’t care if these guys smoke or drink. I only care if they allow it to hurt themselves or others around them. In Salter’s case he was hurting himself, because for right or wrong weed is illegal in the State of Tennessee. Not only did he engage in possession he also did it in 2 situations that are also considered illegal. Terrible judgement from this guy. I hate that he did what he did, but you really don’t give the School much of a choice during your first 6 months on campus.

I’ve known people to get fired because they were out at 3am drunk driving or doing something else stupid. Reason being it’s a poor reflection on the organization.

it’s not the weed, it’s the idiocy and lack of self control. Can’t depend on someone with weak character.

No surprise there, but don’t be dumb about it . He was overtly stupid 2 times and one of the times just 3 weeks after he was reinstated.

I agree. He was only arrested because he tried to ditch the weed. If he was honest with the cop we might not have ever heard about it and he would still be on the team.

"If Heupel can’t trust his quarterback to make good decisions at 3 a.m. on a Saturday in June, then he can’t trust him to make good decisions on third-and-3 on a Saturday in October."

Not a huge Blake Toppmeyer fan, but I thought this quote from him was noteworthy.
