So, it seems that the NCAA has figured out how Lane Kiffin has been getting all these recruits to come to the University of Tennessee. Apparently, he figured out that 18 year old boys like hot woman.
This is such big news that the New York Times decided to write an article about college football for the first time in a month. The Times discovered another interesting fact... college kids will go on a road trip for just about anything. According to the Times, a couple of hostesses from the campus group Orange Pride drove almost two hundred miles to see a high school football. In a completely unrelated story, I spent several nights in Johnson City, TN while in college so I could see a little band name Big Ass Truck.
Look, I'm not trying to make light of the NCAA investigating the University of Tennessee's use of their hostess program. Wait... that is exactly what I'm trying to do!!! Really? That is what you can come up with? We've got a program that pretty much every school that cares about football has? Oh, that's right, it's because a girl drove nearly 200 miles to go to the game of a guy that she met a few months earlier. That's the best you got? Really? What's next? Are you going to find out that some of our players drink underage? Shocking!!! Here's another thing you may want to look into, the use of ping pong balls in various drinking games.
Get real. I know Urban Meyer and Steve Spurrier are calling you and crying because they are getting their asses beat on the recruiting trail, but if this is the best you can come up with tell Urban a message for me... Suck it, douchebag. I hope you saved those timeouts, jerk, cause we're coming. We may night get their next year, but we're coming. You know it. We know it. Get used to it.
That being said, the official stance of the University of Tennessee is that we take these allegations very seriously and are cooperating with the NCAA's investigation.
Riiiiiight.
UPDATE: Kids also use the facebook.

I'm not a lawyer but all I can say is good luck trying to prove these girls were told/paid by the university to go watch a high school football game.
Drogba thinks that if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying!
Well, if they were paid it will be very easy because a check would have been written. If they were told in writing it could be found. I don't think either is what happened.
If the NCAA can't prove anything in writing or with money trails, it's a "he said she said" case in which all kinds of reasonable doubt can be inferred. If the NCAA starts punishing schools for things they can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt (ie. blaming U of M for the Rose SAT-gate), God help us.
Well, technically, they aren't blaming the U of M for Rose's SAT, they are blaming them for playing an ineligible player.
my bad, but actually it's..."they are blaming them for KNOWINGLY playing an ineligible player."
bad example. but still, i would love to see the ncaa prove that ut had anything to do with this. maybe they did (as drogba says if we're not cheating, we're not trying) but how they hell other than money or written documents (emails, notes etc.) can the ncaa prove it? to me, it's highly unlikely.
