Tennessee football program cited for recruiting violations A former University of Tennessee assistant football coach knowingly worked with a booster to provide impermissible travel and lodging to a prospective student-athlete, according to findings by the Division I Committee on Infractions. The former coach was also cited for unethical conduct for his role in the violations. Penalties in this case include a reduction of evaluation days, official visit limitations and restrictions on football tickets during unofficial visits for the university, a two-year extension in the probationary period imposed in a prior case involving the university heard by the committee in 2011 and a threeyear show-cause order for the former assistant coach. As a result, the former assistant coach cannot conduct recruiting activities during this time. This case was resolved through the summary disposition process, a cooperative effort where the involved parties collectively submit the case to the Committee on Infractions in written form. The NCAA enforcement staff, university and involved individuals must agree to use the summary disposition process instead of having a formal hearing.
During the spring of 2009, the former assistant coach developed a relationship with the booster because the football program subscribed to his scouting service. When the former assistant coach became aware of the booster’s relationship with a prospective student-athlete, the former assistant coach began discussing the prospect’s interest in visiting and attending the university. With the understanding that the former assistant coach would reimburse him, the booster then purchased airline tickets for the prospect and his mother to travel to the university for an unofficial visit.
